Inventory
Inventory: Stock of items held by the organization
![Page 5: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Goals in Operations w.r.t Inventory Carrying the right amount of inventory and
ensuring that neither overstocking nor shortages occur is the ultimate goal of inventory management
Keep the level of inventory in the supply chain as low as possible
Moving the inventory, in its continually changing form, as fast as possible through the supply chain for delivery to the final client
![Page 6: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is Inventory Management? Inventory management encompasses
processes that ensures product availability while reducing investment costs
![Page 7: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why do we need Inventory Management? Largest (physical and financial sense) and
most difficult asset to manage for an organization
![Page 8: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Two Views of Inventory
Pressure for high inventory Pressure for low inventory
![Page 9: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pressure for High Inventory
To achieve economies of scale in production (cycle inventory) Immediate delivery not possible
Crude oil, iron ore, coal can’t always be supplied on time
To protect against unanticipated events (strikes, weather) To protect against price increases and take advantage of quantity
discount To satisfy periods of high seasonal demand Economies of scale offered by transportation companies
One truck load or one ship load can reduce unit transportation cost
Decoupling Inventory

Pressure for Low Inventory
Holding costs Cost of coordinating production Quality issue Increased waste

Forms of Manufacturing Inventories Manufacturing Inventory: Items that contribute to or
become part of a firm’s product.
Raw material Physical inputs at the start of the production process.
Work-in-process Inventory between the start and end points of a product routine (yet
to become finished products)
![Page 13: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Manufacturing Inventory
Finished goods End item ready to be sold at
the end of routine Maintenance / Repair /
Operating Supplies (MRO) Oil, lubricants, cotton waste,
wood dust Pens, papers, files, envelopes
Pipeline or Transit Stock Inventory ordered but not yet
received

Service Inventory
Inventory: Tangible goods to be sold and the supplies necessary to administer the services in various types of service organizations (hospitals, banks)Hospitals: (medicines, syringes, blood,
sutures, glucose bottles, bandages etc.)Banks: brochures, pamphlets, currency notes,
coins
![Page 17: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Goal of Materials Manager
Optimal Level of Inventory
Key QuestionsWhat should be the size of order to the
supplier?
When should the order be placed?
![Page 19: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Measures of Inventory Management Inventory turnover
Costs of goods sold --------------------------------------------------------
Average aggregate inventory value
Cost of goods sold is finished goods valued at cost, not the final sale price
Average aggregate inventory value is the total value at cost of all items (RM, WIP, Finished goods) being held in inventory
![Page 20: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Measures of Inventory Management Days (or weeks) of inventory in hand
average aggregate value of inventory = --------------------------------------------------
(cost of goods sold) / 365 days
![Page 21: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Selective Control of Inventory
FSN Classification Based on movement of inventory
F: fast moving, S: slow moving, N: non-moving
VED Classification Based on criticality of items
V: Vital, E: essential, D: desirable
ABC Classification Based on cost of items consumed
![Page 22: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ABC Classification System
ABC classification method divides inventory items into three groups A items (high rupee volume)
B items (moderate rupee volume)
C items (low rupee volume)
Note: Rupee volume is a measure of importance; an item low in cost but high in volume can be more important than a high-cost item with low volume.
![Page 23: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
ABC Classification System
In ABC analysis each class of inventory requires different levels of inventory monitoring and control – the higher the value of the inventory, the tighter the control
![Page 24: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ABC Inventory Planning
A items 10 to 20% of # of items 60 to 70% of annual rupee value of inventory Tight inventory control
B items Represent 30% of # items and 15% of inventory value
C items 50 to 60% of # of items 10 to 15% of annual rupee value of inventory Less stringent inventory control
![Page 25: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Independent vs. Dependent DemandIndependent demand
Influenced by market conditions, i.e., originates outside the system (say cars, bicycles, refrigerators, washing machines)
Uncertain
Dependent demand Depends on demand of independent items, i.e., make up
independent demand products Known Example: Subassemblies, components parts

Managing Independent Demand
This chapter focuses on managing independent demand
![Page 34: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Inventory Costs
Types of costs Ordering costs (costs associated with placing an order and receiving
inventory, independent of order size). Assigned to entire batch Identification of sources of supply Price negotiation, purchase order generation Follow-up and receipt of materials Inspecting goods upon arrival for quality and quantity Stationery, postage, telephone and electricity bills Transportation costs
Set-up Costs When a firm produces its own inventory, the cost of machine set-up
such as arranging tools, drawings, cleaning the machine, adjusting the machine are all parts of set-up costs
![Page 35: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Inventory Costs
Holding or Carrying costs (in warehouse) Cost of storage facilities (rent, if rented) Electricity Cost of capital tied up in inventory Material handling Interest charges Insurance and taxes Pilferage, scrap, & obsolescence Cost of personnel Software for maintaining inventory status

Basic Inventory Control Systems Two types
Fixed order quantity model (Q – Model)
Also known as Perpetual system or Continuous inventory System
Event or quantity triggered
Fixed time period model (P-model)
Also known as Periodic Review System
Time Triggered
![Page 38: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Model Assumptions
Annual demand for item is constant and uniform throughout Lead time is constant Price per unit of product constant Inventory holding cost is based on avg. inventory Ordering or set-up costs are constant Instantaneous replenishment There are no quantity discounts Inventory incurred no cost in transit
![Page 39: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Reorder Point, R = d×L
Where, d = average daily demandL = Lead time in days
(constant demand, so no safety stock)
The square root formula is the EOQ, also referred as economic lot size
Q answers the “how much” question directly
![Page 47: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

When to Reorder with EOQ
If demand and lead time are both constant, the reorder point is
ROP = d X LT
where d = Demand rate (units per
day or week)
LT = Lead time in days or
weeks
![Page 49: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Q-Model
Optimal number of orders = D / Q
Time between orders = Q / D
![Page 50: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Fixed Order Quantity Model(Q-model)Total Annual Cost = Annual Purchase Cost + Annual Ordering Cost + Annual Holding Cost
TC = PD + (D/Q)×S + (Q/2)×H
Where, TC = Total annual costD = DemandP = Unit costQ = Quantity to be orderedS = Ordering cost or set-up costR = reorder pointL = Lead TimeH = Annual holding or storing cost per unit of average
inventory
![Page 51: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Q Model
Item cost (P×D) is not a function of the order quantity – there are no quantity discounts– so the amount PD is constant. Therefore, the value of Q that minimizes the equation is the value that minimizes the sum of the ordering costs and holding costs, called the total inventory cost or total stock cost. This quantity is called Economic Order Quantity (EOQ).
![Page 52: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
EOQ with Purchasing Cost
Adding purchasing cost does not change EOQ

Little’s Law
Average Inventory Average Flow time = ----------------------------------------
Flow Rate (or Average demand)
The average amount of inventory in a system is equal to the product of average demand and the average time a unit is in the system
![Page 55: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Observation
If demand increases by a factor k, the optimal lot size increases by factor √k. The number of orders placed per year should also increase by a factor √k. Flow time attributed to cycle inventory should decrease by a factor of √k.
![Page 56: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Undue Stretching of Lead Time by Supplier
![Page 64: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
When to Reorder with EOQ
When variability is present in demand or lead time, it creates the possibility that actual demand will exceed expected demand
Therefore, it is necessary to carry safety stock to avoid stock out
![Page 65: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Safety Stock
EOQ model assumed deterministic demand Demand in reality varies from day-to-day
Probability of stock out during lead time Need to keep safety stock in addition to expected
demand To hedge against the possibility of stock out
Amount of safety stock depends on Service Level
Probability that inventory on hand during lead time in sufficient to meet expected demand, i.e., the probability that stock out will not occur.
![Page 66: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Service Level
Probability that the demand will not exceed supply during lead time
Example: Service level of 95% implies a probability of 95% that demand will not exceed supply during lead time, and probability of stock out is 5%
Service Level = 100% - Stock out risk

Reorder Point (ROP)
If expected demand during lead time and its standard deviation are available, then
ROP = d×L + safety stock ROP = Expected demand during lead time + ZσdLT
Where, z = # standard deviations
σdLT = The standard deviation of demand during
lead time
ZσdLT = Safety StockNote: Smaller the risk manager is willing to accept, the greater the value of Z

Discount - Incremental
In incremental discount increasing rates of discounts are offered for higher range of quantities purchased. Hence, under this discount offer there shall be multiple unit costs for the same item in a lot. The ranges of quantity at which price changes are called price breakers
![Page 91: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Price Discount Model
Two general casesCarrying cost is constant (Rs 5 per unit per
year)
Carrying cost is a % of purchase price (say 20% of unit price)
![Page 92: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Total Cost Curve with Constant Carrying Cost
When carrying costs are constant, all curves have same minimum points at the same quantity

Total Cost with Carrying Cost as % of Unit Price
When carrying costs are % of unit price, minimum points don’t line up

Procedure for Determining Overall EOQ when Carrying Costs are Constant
Compute the common minimum point
If the feasible minimum point is on the lowest price range, that is the optimal quantity
If the minimum point is in any other range, compute the total cost for the minimum point and for the price breaks of all lower unit costs. Compare the total costs; the quantity (minimum point or price break) that yields the lowest total cost is the optimal order quantity
![Page 96: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)

Determining Best Purchase Quantity when Carrying Costs are % of Price
Begin with lowest unit price, compute the minimum points for each price range until you find a feasible minimum point (i.e. until a minimum point falls in the quantity range for its price)
If the minimum point for the lowest unit price is feasible, it is the optimal order quantity. If the minimum point is not feasible in the lowest price range, compare the total cost at the price breaks for all lower prices with the total cost of the feasible minimum point. The quantity which yields the lowest total cost is the optimum

Fixed Time Period Model(P-Model) or Periodic Review System
Inventory checked only at fixed intervals of time, rather than on a continuous basis
Time between orders is constant On-hand inventory is counted Only the amount necessary to bring the total
inventory up to a pre-specified target is ordered (order size varies depending on on-hand inventory)
![Page 101: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)

Differences (Q vs. P Models)
Q model Order Qty: Q fixed When order: ROP triggered Record keep: Each time
material withdrawn Size of Inv: Less than P
model Time to maintain: High If Higher than normal
demand – Shorter time between orders
Type of items: High priced, critical, important items
A items
P model Order Qty: variable (varies
each time order is placed due to demand variability)
When order: Review period (time triggered)
Record keep: Counted only at review period
Administration: Easy Size of Inv.: Larger than Q
model Type of items: Retail, drugs
Appropriate when large number of items ordered from same supplier resulting in consolidation and lower freight rates

MRP
The logic for determining the number of parts, components, and materials needed to produce a product.
It also provides a schedule specifying when each of these materials, parts, and components should be ordered and produced
![Page 113: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Independent vs. Dependent Demand Independent demand
Influenced by market conditions, i.e., originates outside the system (say cars, bicycles, refrigerators, washing machines)
Uncertain
Dependent demand Depends on demand of independent items, i.e., make up
independent demand products Known Example: Subassemblies, components parts
![Page 114: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)

Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
MRP is a technique that has been employed since the 1940s and 1950s.
Joe Orlicky is known as the Father of MRP The use and application of MRP grew through the
1970s and 1980s as the power of computer hardware and software increased.
MRP gradually evolved into a broader system called manufacturing resource planning (MRP II).
![Page 118: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) MRP is a computerized inventory system
developed specifically to manage dependent demand items
MRP works backward from the due date using lead times to determine when and how much to order for Subassemblies, component parts & raw
materials
![Page 119: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
MRP MRP begins with a schedule for finished goods
that is converted into a schedule of requirements for subassemblies, component parts and raw materials needed to produce the finished items in the specified time frame
MRP designed to answer the following questions
• What is needed ?
• How much is needed?
• When is it needed ?
![Page 120: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
MRP
MRP thus works with finished products, or end items, and their constituent parts, called lower level items
According to one study, 80% of high performing manufacturing plants have implemented MRP
MRP works well for assembling complex discrete products produced in batches Example: computers, consumer durables, furniture,
watches, trucks, generators, motors, machine tools
![Page 121: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)

1. Master Production Schedule (MPS) Master production schedule states
which end items are to be produced, when these are needed, and in what quantities.• Example: A master schedule for end item
X:
Comes from: customer orders, forecasts and orders from warehouses to build up seasonal inventories, and interplant transfers

2. Bill of Materials (BOM)
A document that lists the components, their description, sequence in which the product is created and the quantity of each required to make one unit of a product Thus relationship between end items and lower level
items is described by the BOM It depicts exactly how a firm makes the item in the
master schedule Extremely important to have BOM correct to have
accurate material estimates

Outputs of MRP(Primary Reports) Planned order receipt – A schedule indicating the
quantity that is planned to arrive at the beginning of a period
Planned Order release – Authorizes the execution of planned orders (work order + purchase order). To determine planned order release, count backward from the planned order receipt using the lead time
Order changes report – Changes to planned order, including revisions for due dates or order quantities and cancellation of orders

MRP Terminologies
Gross Requirements: Total demand for an item during each time period. For end items, these quantities are shown in the master production schedule For components, these quantities are derived from the planned
order releases of their immediate parents
Scheduled Receipts: Orders that have been released and scheduled to be received from vendors by the beginning of a period
Projected On-Hand: The expected amount of inventory that will be on hand at the beginning of each time period (SR + Avl inv from last period)
![Page 143: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
MRP Terminologies
Net requirements: The actual amount needed in each time period
Planned Order Receipts: The quantity expected to be received from a vendor or in-house shop at the beginning of the period in which it is shown. It is the amount of an order that is required to meet a net requirement in the period. Under lot-for-lot ordering, this quantity will equal net requirements.
Under lot-size ordering, this quantity may exceed net requirements. Any excess is added to available inventory in the next time period.

Lot Sizing in MRP Systems
Least total cost (LTC) Balances carrying cost and setup cost for various
lot sizes, and selects the one where they are most nearly equal
Least unit cost (LUC) Adds ordering and inventory carrying costs for
each trial lot size and divides by number of units in each lot size, picking the lot size with the lowest unit cost

MRP and Capacity Planning
MRP , as it was originally introduced, considered only materials. MRP does not compare the planned orders to the available capacity. Most MRP plans assume infinite loading; that is an infinite amount of capacity is available, which is not realistic. Individual machines or work centres may have capacity shortages and backlogs of work to be completed
We therefore need capacity planning.
![Page 160: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/160.jpg)
Two Approaches to Capacity Planning Rough-cut capacity planning
Uses the MPS (end item) as the source of product demand information
Capacity determination at critical work centres Capacity Requirement Planning
Completed at the component level rather than at the end item level
Uses planned order release from MRP Capacity determination at all work centres
![Page 161: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/161.jpg)

Rough-Cut Capacity and CRP

Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) CRP determines if all the work centres
involved have the capacity to implement the MRP plan.
A load profile compares weekly loads needs against a profile of actual capacity.

Safety Stock
It would seem that an MRP inventory system should not require safety stock. Practically, however, there may be exceptions. Typically SS built-into projected on-hand inventory
Why is safety stock necessary? Two types of uncertainties are prevalent
A. The quantity of components received (soln: SS)I. Poor quality may result in quantity loss
II. Reliability in supplier may result in quantity uncertainty
B. Timing of the receipts (solution: safety time)A. Machine breakdowns, fluctuations in staffing
![Page 174: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/174.jpg)
Updating MRP Schedules
Updating MRP schedule is required because Customers may cancel or amend order Suppliers could default on supply Unexpected disruptions in manufacturing
Two techniques of updating Regeneration, i.e., re plan the whole system (run MRP from
scratch, updated periodically, 100% replacement of the existing information)
Net change Instead of running the entire MRP system, schedules of
components pertaining to portions where changes have happened are updated.
Applies to sub-set of data as opposed to regeneration
![Page 175: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/175.jpg)
MRP Dynamics - System Nervousness MRP systems work best under conditions of reasonable
stability Frequent changes in an MRP system leads to major
changes in the order profiles for lower level subassemblies or components creating havoc for purchasing and production departments. This is called system nervousness Two tools are helpful in reducing system nervousness Time fences

Pegging
Tracing upward in the BOM from the component to the parent item. By pegging upward, the production planner can determine the cause for the requirement and make a judgement about the necessary for a change in schedule

Benefits of MRP
Ability to easily determine inventory usage by backflushing
Back flushing: Exploding an end item’s bill of materials to determine the quantities of the components that were used to make the item.

Evolved from MRP in 1980s Didn’t replace or improve MRP. Rather expanded the scope
to include capacity requirements planning and to involve other functional areas of the organization: Purchasing, Manufacturing, Marketing, Finance,
Logistics MRP II employed common database and an integrated
platform where sales, inventory, purchasing transactions were updated in both inventory and accounting applications

Aggregate Planning (or Sales and Operations Planning)
It is the process of planning the quantity and timing of output over the intermediate time horizon (often 3-18 months) by adjusting the production rate, employment, inventory, and other controllable variables
The term has been coined by companies to refer to the process that helps companies keep demand and supply in balance
Minimize long-run costs of meeting forecasted demand
![Page 189: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/189.jpg)
Aggregate planning is a big picture approach to production plan to meet the demand throughout the year or so.
It is not concerned with individual products, but with a single aggregate product representing all products.
For example, in a TV manufacturing plant, the aggregate planning does not go into all models and sizes. It only deals with a single representative aggregate TV.
All models are lumped together and represent a single product; hence the term aggregate planning.
Aggregate Planning
![Page 190: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/190.jpg)
What does Aggregate Mean?
Overall terms Product families or product lines rather than individual
products, thus the term aggregate In other words, one “collapses” a multi-product firm to
a single-product firm, the “product” being aggregate units of production
Big picture approach to planning Aggregate, for example # bicycles to be produced,
but would not identify bicycles by colour, size, type etc.
![Page 191: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/191.jpg)
How does MPS differ from AP

Aggregation (Example)
Suppose a bicycle manufacturer makes three models (Standard, Deluxe, Sports)
Time: Standard: 30 m/c hours, Deluxe: 60 m/c hours, Sports: 90 m/c hours
Thus manufacturing 1 deluxe model is equivalent to manufacturing 2 standard models. 1 sports model is equivalent to manufacturing 3 standard models from resource consumption perspective
Thus a monthly demand of 1000 standard cycles, 500 deluxe, and 250 sports can be aggregated as 2750 standard models on the basis of machine hours

Provides for fully loaded facilities, thus minimizingOverloading and under loadingMinimizing cost over the planning period
Adequate production capacity to meet expected aggregate demandOptimize balance between demand and
supply
![Page 198: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/198.jpg)
Why Aggregate Planning?
A plan for orderly and systematic change of production capacity to meet peaks and valleys of expected customer demand
Getting the most output for the amount of resources available, which is important in times of scarce production resources
![Page 199: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/199.jpg)
Steps in Aggregate Planning
1. Begin with sales forecast for each product that indicates the quantities to be sold in each time period (usually months, or quarters) over the planning horizon (3-18 months)
2. Total all the individual product or service forecast into one aggregate demand.
![Page 200: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/200.jpg)
Steps in Aggregate Planning
3. Determine capacities (regular time, OT, subcontracting) for each period
4. Determine unit costs for regular time, OT, subcontracting, holding inventories, back orders, layoffs etc.
5. Identify company policy (chase, level, mixed)

Aggregate Planning Techniques
Two pure forms of aggregate planning strategies
Level Production Maintain constant workforce and
adjust inventory
Chase DemandHiring and Firing people

Level Production Strategy
It is an aggregate planning in which monthly production is uniform
Requires no overtime, no change in work force levels, and no subcontracting Toyota and Nissan follow this strategy Finished goods inventory go up or down to buffer the
difference between demand and production
Works when demand is stable
![Page 213: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/213.jpg)

Chase Production Strategy
It attempts to achieve output rates that match demand forecast for that period.
This strategy can be accomplished by: Vary workforce levels (hiring and firing)
Service businesses use because they don’t have the option to build inventory of their product
![Page 216: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/216.jpg)

Chase vs. Level
Chase Approach
Advantages Investment in inventory
is low
Labor utilization in high
Disadvantages The cost of adjusting
output rates and/or workforce levels
Level Approach
Advantages Stable output rates and
workforce
Disadvantages Greater inventory costs
Increased overtime and idle time
Resource utilizations vary over time
![Page 219: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/219.jpg)
Mixed Strategy
For most firms, neither a chase strategy nor a level strategy is likely to prove ideal, so a combination of options must be achieved to meet demand and minimize cost
More complex than pure ones but typically yield a better strategy

Sequencing (n Jobs on 2 Machines) Johnson’s Rule
Objective is to minimize processing time for sequencing a group of jobs through two work centers
Developed by S M Johnson in 1954 for job shop scheduling
![Page 272: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/272.jpg)
Examples (2 work centres)
A book binding operation where books must first pass through binding before going to trimming
Finished products must pass through inspection before packaging
A medical clinic where patient goes for registration and then consulting
![Page 273: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/273.jpg)
Steps – Johnson’s Rule
1. All the jobs are to be listed, and the time that each requires on a machine is to be shown. Set up a one-dimensional matrix to represent the desired sequence with the number of slots equal to # of jobs
2. Select the job with the shortest activity time. If the shortest time lies with the first machine, the job is scheduled first. If the shortest time lies with the second machine, schedule the job last.
![Page 274: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/274.jpg)
Steps – Johnson’s Rule
3. Once a job is scheduled, eliminate it
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to the remaining jobs until all the slots in the matrix have been filled or all jobs have been sequenced
5. If a tie for the shortest processing time occurs in the same work station, the competing two job sequences need to be evaluated by comparing cumulative processing times. The lowest cumulative processing time would be the recommended sequence
![Page 275: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/275.jpg)
Johnson’s Rule (Conditions)
Job time (set up + proc time) must be known for each work center
All jobs follow same two-step sequence All units in a job must be completed at the first
work center before moving to second work center
![Page 276: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/276.jpg)

Johnson’s rule – 3 work centres
Three work centres is an extension of the previous model (2 work-centres)
Examples A book binding operation where books pass through
printing and binding before going for trimming Finishing products, which pass through inspection,
painting, before going to packaging A medical centre where patients see a doctor, pass
onto x-ray, and then consult a specialist

Johnson’s rule – 3 work centres
Johnson’s rule can be applied if either of the following two criteria applies: The smallest time at the first processing operation is
at least as great as the largest duration on the second processing operation
The smallest duration on the third processing operation is at least as great as the largest duration on the second operation.

Introduction-Elements of the Job Shop Scheduling Problems
An assembly line is a classic example of flow shop
Every car goes through all the stations one by one in the same sequences;
Same tasks are performed on each car in each station; Its operations scheduling is simplified as assembly line balancing; An assembly balancing problem is to determine the number of stations
and to allocate tasks to each station.
Flow shop: Each of the n
jobs must be processed through the m machines in the same order.
Each job is processed exactly once on each machine.
![Page 289: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/289.jpg)
A Pure Flow Shop
As there are n jobs, there are n! ways in which one can draw up alternative schedules in the shop
In flow shop resources are organized one after another in the order the jobs areprocessed
Since all jobs follow the same order of visiting machines, the scheduling functionIs essentially reduced to one of ordering the jobs in front of the first machine.

Job Shop
Low volume job shop operations are designed for flexibility
Each product or service may have its own routing (scheduling is much more difficult)
Bottlenecks move around depending upon the products being produced at any given time

Introduction-Job Shop
A job shop is organized by machines which are grouped according to their functions.

Introduction-Job Shop
Not all jobs are assumed to require exactly the same number of operations, and some jobs may require multiple operations on a single machine (Reentrant system, Job B twice in work center 3 ).
Each job may have a different required sequencing of operations.No all-purpose solution algorithms for solving general job shop problems
;Operations scheduling of shop floor usually means job shop scheduling;
Job A
Job B

Job Shop
Since there are n! ways of rank-ordering jobs in front of a machine and sincethere are m machines in the shop, and all jobs are processed on all machines, the number of alternatives that one can draw for a job shop is given by (n!)m

Waste is defined as any activity that does not add value to a product from customer’s perspective
Fujio Cho, Toyota’s president defined“Anything other than the minimum amount of
equipment, materials, parts, and workers essential for production”

LEVELLED PRODUCTION
Levelled production means producing various models on the same production line to cater the customer demand. See the following diagram. The various products are shown in the form of different geometrical shapes. Assume they are different models of vehicles being produced on the same production line.
Production leveling is done by finding the ratio of demand of various models. Instead of producing batches of the same model, mix models are produced on the same production line according to the ratio of their demand in the market.
This is how customers do not have to wait for long and throughout the month all the customers are served equally well

OEE
Availability: % of scheduled time that the operation is available to operate. Often referred to as Uptime.
Performance: Speed at which the work centre runs as a % of designed speed
Quality: Good units produced as a % of total units produced

History of Quality Management
Rooted in Post-World war II Japan Japanese in an effort to build their nation adopted the US
manufacturing practices Embraced and suppported the work of two American
researchers: Joseph Juran (1904-2008) and W Edwards Deming (1900-1993)
Juran blamed the culture of the firm and management for poor quality
Deming developed SPC for industries Japanese industry leaders embraced the idea that efforts
to improve quality can actually reduce costs
![Page 387: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/387.jpg)
History of Quality Management
By 1970s and 1980s, US market was invaded by Japanese electronic and automobile products
Toyota was already using advanced quality management system, and TPS became the international superstar of manufacturing practice In late 1980s, Motorola developed the Six Sigma (SS)
approach, others (GE, Seagate, AlliedSignal) adopted SS
TQM, another well-known method adopted by industry

Performance and Conformance
Successful quality management requires managers to understand what constitutes quality for the customer
Firms need to identifying the needs of the customers (internal or external) and provide a product or service that will satisfy or exceed their expectations
![Page 389: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/389.jpg)
Performance and Conformance
Different kinds of quality Performance quality
Refers to the ability of the product to excel along one or more performance dimensions (“attributes”)
Conformance quality Because of inherent variability in production
processes, nothing is produced exactly according to specifications. The degree of match between specifications and the actual product or service is what we call as conformance quality

Quality Article
“Competing on eight dimensions of quality” (Harvard Business Review, Nov-Dec 1987) by David Garvin
![Page 391: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/391.jpg)
Dimensions of Quality: Manufactured Products Performance – primary product characteristics Features – secondary characteristics Reliability – How often does the product fail?
Consistency of performance Conformance to standards – meeting design
specifications Durability – How long the product lasts; its life span
before replacement Serviceability – ease of repair, speed of repair Aesthetics – sensory characteristics (sound, feel, look) Perceived Quality – past performance, reputation,
recognition

Article – Key Points
Eight dimensions of quality Companies need not pursue all eight
dimensions If pursued, products become costly
Companies need to find what dimensions customers care for and work on those dimensions Proper market research is key

Acceptance Sampling
In acceptance sampling, managers take two key decisionsWhen in the process to conduct inspections
How rigorously to test Frequency of inspection How many products to test each time
![Page 406: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/406.jpg)
When in the Process to Inspect?
Raw materials and purchased parts Finished products Before a costly operation or where
significant value is added to the product Before an irreversible process Before a covering process
![Page 407: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/407.jpg)
How Much to Inspect and How Often? The amount of inspection can range from no inspection
whatsoever to inspection of each item. Low –cost, high volume items require less inspection High-cost, low volume items require intensive inspection Majority of the quality control applications lie somewhere
between the two
As a rule, operations with high proportion of human involvement necessitatemore inspection than mechanical operations

Process Control
Starts with measuring an important variable. This can be aProduct attribute
Diameter of a metal component, weight of a bag of potato chip
Process Attribute Temperature in a restaurant’s oven, length of
waiting time in a ticket booth, pressure applied in a molding process
![Page 421: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/421.jpg)
Statistical Process Control (SPC) A statistical process control involves testing a random
sample of output from a process to determine whether the process is producing items within a pre-selected range
SPC uses statistical tools to observe the performance of the production process in order to detect significant variations before they result in the production of a sub-standard article.
SPC is about monitoring consistency and repeatability of a process
![Page 422: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/422.jpg)
Major Objectives of SPC
Quickly detect the occurrence of assignable causes of process so that investigation of the process and corrective action may be undertaken before non-conforming units are manufactured
Reducing variability in the process
![Page 423: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/423.jpg)
Why Quality Problems?
Variation due to two reasons
Common Cause or random variation
Assignable or Special cause or controllable variation
![Page 424: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/424.jpg)
Statistical Process Control Tools (SPC) Variation in output is due to:
Common causes (also known as natural variation) Inherent variation present in every process Causes may difficult to distinguish or wholly
unidentifiable Resulting degree of variation is minor
Assignable causes (known as special variation) Variations due to specific causes
A process subject to assignable variation is out of control
![Page 425: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/425.jpg)
Statistical Process Control Tools (SPC) Control (or in control or stable)
A process that exhibits only common cause variation is said to be in control or stable
A process is said to be out of control when it exhibits assignable variationExamples: less experienced worker has
replaced an experienced worker, machine malfunctioning, change of machine settings

Control Charts
A control chart is a time ordered plot of sample statistics Sometimes called “the voice of the process” Graphical display of a quality characteristics (for example, level of
beer in each bottle in a bottling plant) Distinguish between random and non-random variability Chart contains a center line and two limits
Upper control limit Lower control limit
If the process is in control, all sample points will fall between them As long as points fall within control limits – the process is in
statistical control However, any point outside limits – investigate the assignable
causes

Control Charts
If all the points plot inside the limits, but behave in a nonrandom manner – indication that process is out of control and needs investigation

In Statistical Control
A process that is operating with only chance cause of variation present is said to be in statistical control
If the process is in control, all the plotted points should have an essentially random pattern

computed in one of the two ways. Choice depends on what information is
available If process standard (σ) is known from past
experience or historical data

Steps in developing X-bar and R-chart Collect data on the variable measured (time, weight,
diameter). Collect at least 20-25 samples randomly. Sample size should be of 4 to 5 units.
Compute range for each sample, and average R-bar Calculate the UCL and LCL Plot the sample ranges. If all are in control process, Calculate UCL and LCL for x-bar chart Plot the sample means. If all are in control, process is in
statistical control.

Productivity and Quality
Productivity can be improved by improving quality if the improved quality is the result of reducing the amount of rework or repair to the product or service. Improving productivity through improved
quality means that products and services must be right the first time without increasing the input part of the equation.
![Page 489: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/489.jpg)
Productivity
Productivity is a measure of a company’s effectiveness in converting inputs into outputs
Productivity = Output / Input

SERVQUAL MODEL or GAP Model
Model that has been extensively used to measure service quality (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry, 1985) Banks Insurance Education Information Technology
Model: The level of service quality experienced by the customer is critically determined by the gap between a customer’s expectation of service and the perception of service that is delivered.

1. What is Project Management? The planning, organising, monitoring and
controlling of all aspects of a project and the motivation of all involved to achieve the project objectives safely and within agreed time, cost and performance criteria. The project manager is the single point of responsibility for achieving this

2. How Project is Different from General Operations Management? All work can be described as fitting two types
Projects Non- routine project such as mergers Routine such as building a house Limited time frame Narrow focus, specific objectives Less bureaucratic
Operations Ongoing work needed to ensure that an organization
continues to function effectively (usually repetitive)

stakeholders) Push a new technology to market too quickly Don’t bother building a fall-back option When problems occur, shoot the one most
visible Let new ideas starve to death from inertia Don’t bother conducting feasibility studies

Planning and Scheduling (Gantt Chart)
Provides a visual display of project schedule, when activities are scheduled to start, when they will be finished, and where extra time is available and activities can be delayed. The project manager can use the chart to monitor the progress of the activities and see which ones are ahead of schedule and which one are behind schedule.

Prerequisites for Critical Path Methodology
A project must have:
well-defined jobs or tasks whose completion marks the end of the project;
independent jobs or tasks;
and tasks that follow a given sequence.
![Page 534: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/534.jpg)
Types of Critical Path Methods
CPM with a Single Time Estimate Used when activity times are known with certainty Used to determine timing estimates for the project,
each activity in the project, and slack time for activities
CPM with Three Activity Time Estimates Used when activity times are uncertain Used to obtain the same information as the Single
Time Estimate model and probability information Time-Cost Models
Used when cost trade-off information is a major consideration in planning
Used to determine the least cost in reducing total project time
![Page 535: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/535.jpg)
Steps in the CPM with Single Time
Estimate 1. Activity Identification 2. Activity Sequencing and Network
Construction 3. Determine the critical path
From the critical path all of the project and activity timing information can be obtained

Why do Projects Succeed
Strong project leadership Focus on meeting three constraints: scope, time, and budget Develop clear and measurable project goals Roles and responsibilities of each member should be clearly
defined The project execution strategy and implementation plan should
be well defined and clear to all stakeholders Project team members should have a sense of urgency about
the execution of the project All project deliverables and all project activities must be
visualized and communicated in detail to all team members and the stakeholders

What is simulation?
It generally refers to using a computer program to perform experiments on a model of a real system In other words, it is a computer model that
imitates a real-life situation
It enables a decision maker to evaluate the behavior of a model under various conditions or scenarios

Advantages of simulation
Developing the model of a system often leads to a better understanding of the real system
Years of experience in the real system can be compressed into seconds or minutes
Does not disrupt ongoing activities of the real system
Can be applied to situations where standard mathematical analysis are difficult to apply
![Page 565: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/565.jpg)
Advantages of Simulation
Recent advances in software make some simulation models very easy to develop
Allows questions of what-if?

Disadvantages of simulation
Although a great deal of time and effort may be spent to develop a model for simulation, there is no guarantee that the model will provide optimal solutions.
It merely indicates an approximate behavior for a given set of inputs Two reasons
By design there is inherent randomness in simulation Simulations are based on models and models are only approximations of
reality
Building complicated systems can be costly and time consuming Simulation may be less accurate than a mathematical analysis
because it is randomly based. If a given system can be represented by a mathematical model, it may be better to use simulation

Effects of Poor Maintenance
Expensive and harmful Fixing major machines is costly Production is lost due to machine
breakdowns Breakdown reduces capacity May produce defective parts Workers are idle when machines break
![Page 570: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/570.jpg)
Causes of Machine Failure
Irregular and inadequate preventive maintenance leads to deterioration of machines and ultimately their failure
Overusing at excessive speeds exceeding their specified limits reduces life of the m/c
Improper cleaning leads to accumulation of dirt, oil etc. on machine parts leads to corrosion and erosion
![Page 571: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/571.jpg)
Causes of Machine Failure
Inadequate maintenance may lead to loosening of parts causing accidents
Incorrect machine set up or loading parts beyond capacity (i.e. taking excessive cuts) may lead to machine breakdown
![Page 572: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/572.jpg)
Focus of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Eliminating causes of machine failure Maximizing effectiveness of machine
throughout its entire life Involves everyone in all departments and
at all levels TPM develops a maintenance system
![Page 573: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/573.jpg)
9. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Is an alternative approach to equipment maintenance
that seeks to achieve zero breakdowns and zero defects. It is based on the premise that production operators
play a crucial role in maintenance Emphasizes proactive and preventive maintenance to
maximize the operational efficiency of the equipment Central to the TPM philosophy is the concept of Overall
Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) OEE measures performance of TPM
TPM seeks to maximize OEE
![Page 574: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/574.jpg)
Overall Equipment Effectiveness(OEE) OEE =
Availability Rate * Performance Rate * Quality Rate
OEE captures six big losses which result in reduced effectiveness of using an equipment
![Page 575: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/575.jpg)
OEE
Availability: % of scheduled time that the operation is available to operate. Often referred to as Uptime.
Performance: Speed at which the work centre runs as a % of designed speed
Quality: Good units produced as a % of total units produced
![Page 576: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/576.jpg)

TPM Methodology
TPM aims to maximize the OEE in an organization through several methods. Some of the important elements of TPM include:
Establishing a thorough system of preventive maintenance for the equipment’s entire life span
Involvement of TPM by various departments
![Page 581: Operations management ii](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052211/55a5d22b1a28abd2758b45cb/html5/thumbnails/581.jpg)
TPM Methodology
Involvement of every single employee from top management to workers on shop floor
Promoting preventive maintenance through a system of motivation management by creating autonomous small group activities for maintenance
