Production process design: workcenter layout

A

Bepaalde apparatuur staat op dezelfde plek
- - Most common approach to developing this type of layout is to arrange workcenters in
a way that optimizes the movement of material
* Optimal placement often means placing workcenters with high levels of
interdepartmental traffic adjacent to each other
* Sometimes is referred to as a job shop and is focused on a particular type of
operation
* Competes on quality, speed of delivery, customization, innovation, not economies of
scale

  3. Determine the theoretical minimum number of
    workstations ().
  4. Select a primary rule to assign tasks to workstations
    and a secondary rule to break ties.
    Assembly-Line Balancing
  5. Assign tasks (one at a time) to the first workstation
    until no more tasks can be added (due to cycle time
    or sequencing constraints). Repeat for all subsequent
    workstations until all tasks are assigned.
  6. Evaluate the efficiency of the balance
  7. If efficiency is unsatisfactory, rebalance using a
    different rule.

30
Q

Components of demand

A

Average
Trend
Seasonal element
Random variation
Cyclical inlfuence = impact form political, war etc
Autocorrelation

31
Q

Simple moving average

A
  • Forecast is based on average demand over the most recent periods
  • Useful when demand is not growing or declining rapidly, and no seasonality is present.
  • Removes some of the random fluctuations from the data.
  • Selecting the period length is important.
  • Longer periods provide more smoothing.
  • Shorter periods react to trends more quickly.
32
Q

Simple moving average

A
33
Q

Weighted moving average

A
33
Q

Weighted moving average

A

The simple moving average formula implies all periods are equally important.
* The weighted moving average allows unequal weighting of prior periods.
* The sum of the weights must be equal to one.
* More recent data (periods) are given more significance (higher weights) than
older data.

34
Q

Choosing weights (forecast)

A
  • Experience and trial & error are the simplest approaches.
  • The most recent past is the most important indicator of what to expect in the future, so
    weights are generally higher for more recent data.
  • If the data are seasonal, weights should be established appropriately.
  • The weighted moving average has an advantage over the simple moving average.
35
Q

Lineair regression analysis

A

Regression - the functional relationship between two or
more correlated variables, usually from observed data.
* One variable (the dependent variable) is predicted for
given values of the other variable (the independent
variable).
* Linear regression is a special case which assumes the
relationship between the variables can be explained with
a straight line.

35
Q

Time series

A
  • Time series - chronologically ordered data.
  • A time series may contain one or many elements.
  • Trend, seasonal, cyclical, autocorrelation, and random
36
Q

Decompostion

A

Decomposition – the process of identifying and separating time series
data into fundamental components:
* Trend.
* Seasonality.

37
Q

Addictive seasonal variation

A

Trend + seasonal factor

38
Q

Multiplicative seasonal variantion

A

trend x seasonal index

39
Q

Choosing forecast model

A
  1. Time horizon to forecast.
  2. Data availability.
  3. Accuracy required.
  4. Size of forecasting budget.
  5. Availability of qualified personnel.
40
Q

Forecast error

A

the difference between the forecast value and what actually occurred.
* All forecasts contain some level of error.
* Sources of error:
* Bias – when a consistent mistake is made.
* Random – errors that are not explained by the model being used.

40
Q

MAD

A

Meaurments of error
* Ideally, MAD will be zero (no forecasting error).
* Larger values of MAD indicate a less accurate model.

41
Q
A

Moet absolute waarde zijn

42
Q

MAPE

A

Mean absolute percent error (M A P E) scales the forecast error to the magnitude of demand.

43
Q
A
43
Q

TS

A

Measurement of error: Tracking signal indicates whether forecast errors accumulate over time (either positive or negative).

44
Q
A

RSFE = The running sum of forecast errors, considering the nature of errors (verschil tussen forecast en actual bij elkaar optellen) (e.g., negative errors cancel positive errors and vice versa).
MAD = The mean absolute deviation

45
Q

Qualitative forecasting techniques

A
  • Generally used to take advantage of expert knowledge.
  • Useful when judgment is required, when products are new, or if the firm has little experience in a
    new market.

Examples of techniques:
* Market research
* Historical analogy
* Panel consensus
* Delphi method

46
Q

Delphi method

A
47
Q

Sales and operations planning (S&OP)

A
  • Sales and operations planning is a process to resolve this struggle between those selling the product,
    those supplying the product, and those keeping track of the money that goes on month after month.
  • The process is designed to balance supply, demand, and money! And of course, keep them in balance over
    time.
    IMPORTANT: This must occur at an aggregate level and also
    at the detailed individual product level.
48
Q

Aggregate operation plan

A

Aggregate operation plan – a plan for labor and production for the intermediate term with the objective to
minimize the cost of resources needed to meet the demand.

49
Q

Why is S&OP important

A
  • better customer service,
  • lower inventory,
  • shorten customer lead times,
  • stabilize production rates
50
Q

Types of planning

A

Long-range planning (Strategic)
* Planning focusing on a horizon greater than one year,
usually performed annually.

Intermediate-range planning (Tactical)
* Planning focusing on a period from 3 to 18 months,
time increments are weekly, monthly, or quarterly.

Short-range planning (Operational)
* Planning covering a period from one day to six months
with daily or weekly time increments.

51
Q

Inputs to the production planning system

A
52
Q

Aggregate operation plan

A

Specifies the optimal combination of
* Production rate (number of units completed per unit of time – such as per hour/day).
* Workforce level (number of workers needed in a period).
* Inventory on hand (unused inventory carried from previous period).
* Production = Production rate × Workforce level.
* It is common to set the production rates by product group or broad category (aggregation).

53
Q

Production planning chase strategie

A

Chase strategy - Match the production rate by hiring and laying off employees!
When applicable: When having a pool of easily trained applicants
Downside: When order backlogs are low, employees may
feel compelled to slow down out of fear of being laid off as soon as orders are
completed (Motivation impact).

Subcontracting is a similar strategy!
Benefit: captures the fluctuation in demand
Downside: Lose control over schedule and quality

54
Q

Production planning strategies: Stable workforce

A

Stable workforce (variable work hours) - Vary the number of hours worked
through flexible work schedules or overtime.

Benefit: provides workforce continuity and avoids many of the emotional and
tangible costs of hiring compared to the Chase strategy.

Downside: not always applicable!

55
Q

Production planning strategies: Level strategie

A

Level strategy - Maintain a stable workforce working at a constant output rate.
Benefit: stable working hours.

Downside : potentially decreased customer service level, increased inventory costs, inventories might become obsolete, and lost sales!

56
Q

Relevant costs

A
  • Basic production costs: fixed and variable
  • Direct and indirect labor costs including overtime compensations
  • Costs associated with changes in production rate
  • Hiring, training, and laying off personnel
  • Inventory holding costs
  • Storing, insurance, taxes, spoilage, and obsolescence
  • Backordering costs
  • Costs of expediting, loss of customer goodwill, loss of revenue due to backordering
57
Q

Cut and try approach

A
  • Involves costing out various production planning alternatives and selecting the one that is best.
  • Elaborate spreadsheets are developed to facilitate the decision process.
58
Q

Lineair programming

A
  • Use of mathematical analysis to determine an optimal plan.
59
Q

Simulation

A
  • What-if analysis using simulated demand to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative plans.
60
Q

Exact production workforce

A

Produce to exact monthly production requirements by varying workforce size.

61
Q

Constant workforce

A

Produce to meet expected average demand by maintaining a constant workforce

62
Q

Constant low workforce

A

Produce to meet the minimum expected demand using a constant workforce and
subcontract to meet additional requirements.

63
Q

Constant workforce

A

Produce to meet expected demand for all but the first two months using a constant
workforce and use overtime to meet additional output requirements.

64
Q

Material requirement planning

A

The logic that ties production functions together from a material planning and control view.
A logic to easily understand the approach to the problem of managing the parts, components, and materials
needed to produce end items.
* How much of each part to obtain?
* When to order or produce the parts?

65
Q

When use MRP

A
65
Q

MRP system structure

A
  • Master schedule.
  • Bill-of-materials file.
  • Inventory records file.
  • Output reports.
66
Q

Yield management

A

The process of allocating the right type of capacity to the right type of customer at the right price and time to
maximize revenue or yield.
* Can be a powerful approach to making demand more predictable
* Increase sales in low sales seasons
* It is important for aggregate planning

67
Q

When use yield management

A

Most effective when:
* Demand can be segmented by customer.
* Fixed costs are high and variable costs are low.
* Inventory is perishable.
* Product can be sold in advance.
* Demand is highly variable.

68
Q

Operating yield management

A
  • Pricing structures must appear logical to the customer and justify the different prices.
  • Must handle variability in arrival or starting times, duration, and time between customers.
