BSCM - 5 - Capacity Management and Production Activity Control Flashcards
Name the 4 basic scheduling and loading techniques.
- FORWARD SCHEDULING
- BACKWARD SCHEDULING
- INFINITE LOADING
- FINITE LOADING
Activities are scheduled from a known start date through the finish date.
FORWARD SCHEDULING
Activities are scheduled back from the due date.
BACKWARD SCHEDULING
Assumes that capacity is infinite at any work center.
INFINITE LOADING
Assumes that there is a definite limit to capacity at any work center.
FINITE LOADING
-Involves establishing start and finish dates for each operation needed to complete an order.
OBJECTIVES:
- Meet delivery dates
- Effectively use manufacturing resources.
SCHEDULING
A facility, function, department, or resource whose capacity is less than the demand placed on it.
Throughput can be constrained by __________ operations in intermittent, flow, and project manufacturing processes.
BOTTLENECKS
The ______________ volume of a system during a specified time period is constrained by the bottleneck work center.
THROUGHPUT
Between the release of materials to the gateway operation and receipt of WIP at the bottleneck is equal to the MFG lead time plus some safety time. The latter is meant to allow a bank of WIP to accumulate at the bottleneck to ensure that the bottleneck will never be short of work.
TIME BUFFER
Communicates the schedule of raw material releases to the gateway operation; this establishes a flow of materials to the bottleneck that ensures the bottleneck will never be short of work.
ROPE
Should produce at the rate of the bottleneck as well–generally neither faster nor slower.
WORKCENTERS AFTER THE BOTTLENECK
What are the PRIORITY CONTROL DISPATCHING RULES?
- First come, first served
- Earliest Job Due Date
- Earliest Operation Due Date
- Shortest process time
- Critical ratio
= time remaining / work remaining
- Also called LEAD TIME REMAINING
- If this is less than 1.0, the order will be late
**The lower the CR, the later the order, and the higher its priority.
CRITICAL RATIO (CR)
- Method used when material flow is based on a set production rate in a continuous MFG system.
- Characterized by uninterrupted production runs, fixed routings, committed production lines (capacity)
- In lean, the rate of __________ is controlled by:
- rate of customer demand (takt time)
- Kanban signals that trigger pull from upstream workstations
- control of WIP levels by resource balancing among workstations
FLOW CONTROL
- 2nd check on availability of critical resources
- Validates resource availability for the MPS
- Based on the quantity of a resource required to make one unit of the specific models or types of end items in a product family.
