Best Practices - Definitions
APICS
A method or technique that consistently shows results superior to those achieved through other means, often used as a benchmark. Best Practices can be defined within an organization, within an industry , or across industries.
• Current (not emerging, not obsolete)
• Structured (goals, scope, process and procedure)
• Proven (demonstrated in a working environment with metrics)
• Repeatable (demonstrated in multiple organizations or industries)
Gartner
A group of tasks that optimizes the efficiency (cost and risk) or effectiveness (service level) of the business discipline or process to which it contributes. It must be implementable, replicable, transferable and adaptable across industries.

Zero Inventories - Robert Hall
“Stockless Production” – Make only what is needed, when it is needed.
Characterized by:
• Reduced Setup Times
• Small Lot Sizes
• “Pull” systems
• Quality at the source
• Product Design for Manufacturing
• Supplier Integration

Lean Thinking – Robert Womack
Focus on Value Creation and the elimination of waste.
• Overproduction ahead of demand
• Material waiting for next process
• Unnecessary movement or transport of material
• Additional processing due to rework
• Excess Inventory beyond the required quantities
• Unnecessary time spent looking for parts or tools
• Defective Material
![Page 11: Best Practices in Manufacturing D365UG/AXUG Northern](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041617/62532890ad0198332c22bd7d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

The Goal - Eliyahu Goldratt
Throughput analysis with a focus on those activities that limit delivery of customer orders.
• Theory of Constraints and Critical Chain
• Find your “Herbie”
• Eliminate “Sub-optimal” processes and metrics
• Drum-Buffer-Rope
• Operate at the pace of the constraining resource
• Buffer inventory ahead of the constraining resource
• Pull at each stage in the production flow
![Page 12: Best Practices in Manufacturing D365UG/AXUG Northern](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041617/62532890ad0198332c22bd7d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Six Sigma Process Improvement – Richard Schonberger
Focus on process discipline and consistency with a data driven approach to process improvement
Are your initiatives really resulting in increased creation of value?
• Eliminate waste in operations
• But still must adapt to customer and market factors
Example
• Increasing inventories would generally be considered “waste”
• But what of that Inventory leads to new Markets?
• Dell Example

Manufacturing Strategies – What Kind of Plant Are You?
Make To Stock – Produce before receipt of a customer order. Production to replenish inventories.
Assemble to Order – Final assembly performed upon receipt of a customer order. The Assumption is that all components and major subassemblies are produced and stocked in advance of order receipt.
Make to Order – Produce upon receipt of a customer order. Final product may be composed of standard components, or components produced specifically to meet the order requirements.
Engineer to Order – Customer order initiates a design process where new Products are defined, BOMs specified and ultimately produced.

Product Options and the Demand for “Customization”
From Henry Ford in 1909- “A person can buy a car in any color they choose, so long as it is black.”
…To standard base models with a multitude of colors and optional features (Air Conditioning, Stereo System Selection, Transmission type, power vs manual features, etc.)
… To Dell computers – Pick your features and components and design your computer from scratch.
… To Converse and Vans shoes – Choose your color, your fabric, other materials, eyelets, soles, etc… And, they deliver it in a few days.

Plant Type Analysis - VATI
Plant types describe how materials flow through a factory. In Theory of Constraints, this is called the VATI analysis, and can help with scheduling problems. Draw the diagram from the bottom of your page to the top of your page.
![Page 20: Best Practices in Manufacturing D365UG/AXUG Northern](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041617/62532890ad0198332c22bd7d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
21www.arbelatech.com
Plant Type Analysis – What Kind of Plant Are You?
• V Plant (One to Many): One (or few) raw material converted into many different end items. Examples – Wood and Metal Products.
• A Plant (Many to One): Typically complex assemblies where many components and subassemblies are combined to produce a (relatively) small number of end items. Examples – Aircraft, Ships, Some Electronic goods.
• T Plant (Multiple Lines or Many to Many): One (or a small number) of general material flows can split to make many different products. Examples - Computers or any other product with configuration, size or color options.
• I Plant (One to One): Small number of inputs flow in a sequence to produce a small number of outputs. Few points of divergence in the material flow.
![Page 21: Best Practices in Manufacturing D365UG/AXUG Northern](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041617/62532890ad0198332c22bd7d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Postponement – Delayed Differentiation
What is the point of divergence in your product structures or material flows?
Delay the final differentiation (production, assembly, packaging, etc.) until the latest possible time without impacting customer lead time expectations.
• Reduced Risk associated with anticipation
• Reduced Finished Goods Inventory Cost
Focus is on the point of divergence in the material flow as the inventorying level.

Mandatory Setups
• ‘Product subtype’ must be set to “Product master”
• ‘Configuration technology’ decision
• Choice of ‘Configuration technology’ affects options in ‘Product dimension group’

Selecting a Configuration Technology
• First question – Do you really need a configuration technology?
• Exploring the Options• Predefined variant
• Do you have products with more than four options in them?
• Dimension-based configuration• How many more than four options do your products have?
• How do configuration choices affect Production BOMs?
• How often do you add new products?
• How does your engineering/product development department function?
• Constraint-based configuration• Accommodates greatest complexity of options
• Allows attribute-based pricing

31www.arbelatech.com
Why Use Configurations?
• Control – If sales is allowed to make parts at will, we can have engineering issues.
• Pricing - Attribute-based pricing supported through a configurator only.
• Discrete Part - Despite all of the variability, it's still really the same fixture. Whether it’s black or brown, has a full shield or half shield, or an 8' power cord or a 12' cord, it's still really the same thing to us.

AX Planning Fundamentals – Static and Dynamic Plans
• Static Plan - The master scheduling calculation uses the current data to generate a net requirements plan. This plan remains unchanged until the next time you run master scheduling. It is an operating plan that various company personnel, such as a purchaser or production planner, can use to base their decisions on and carry out their daily tasks and activities.
• Dynamic Plan -This plan starts out with the same net requirements plan that was generated by master scheduling. However, you can update the dynamic plan each time the master data changes. This could be when you create a new sales order, for example. This enables you to monitor the changing order network and item availability without disturbing the static plan that others are using for their work processes

Material Planning – Managing Demand and Buffers
Assuming that we are not operating in ETO or true MTO environments, there will be some need to maintain inventory.
• Buffer vs Safety Stock
• Primary vs Contingent
• Demand Driven vs Variation Driven
