New cards
5

Two Main Factors that Influence Process Selection

New cards
11

Repetitive Processing: Product Layout (assembly, continuous)

all products follow same or similar sequence

achieve large volume through standardization

organize equipment, activities for step-by-step flow

New cards
12

Intermittent Processing: Process Layout (job shop and services)

high degree of variety in job processing requirements

causes discontinuous workflow

activities, equipment organized by type or department

New cards
13

Fixed Layout (project)

large/bulky products, low volume, highly customized

equipment is transported to/products are built on-site

New cards
14

Two Primary Criteria for Process Selection of a Service

degree of customer contact

degree of customization

New cards
15

Warehouse Layout: two important considerations

frequency of orders or use of items

correlation between items

New cards
16

Retail Layout: two important considerations

traffic patterns and flow

way the layout influences customer attitude

New cards
17

Make-to-Order (job shop, batch)

when a customer orders a product, it is produced to their specifications

New cards
18

Assembly-to-Order (assembly, job shop, batch)

when a customer orders a product, it is produced from a standard set of modules and components to their specifications

New cards
19

Make-to-Stock

products are sold to customer from finished goods inventory

New cards
20

Low Cost Producer

reduce production costs in low labor cost area

New cards
25

Factor Rating Method

includes qualitative and quantitative

New cards
26

Center of Gravity Method

determines a location that minimizes shipping costs or travel time to destinations

often used with fire departments, schools, and distribution centers

New cards
27

Capacity

maximum load or ceiling on the output on operating unit can handle

New cards
28

Key Questions in Capacity Planning

what kind of capacity is needed? (decided by type of products/services)

how much is needed to match demand? (forecasting)

when is it needed? (forecasting)

New cards
29

Importance of Capacity Planning

determines if system's rate of output can support future demand

affect operating costs

major determinant of initial product cost

affect delivery speed

usually long-term commitment of resources

New cards
30

Measure of Capacity

availability of inputs (# of hospital beds)

rate of output (# of cans of coke produced)

New cards
31

Design Capacity

maximum designed output rate or service capacity

New cards
32

Effective Capacity

design capacity minus allowances for breaks, routine maintenance, planned absenteeism

New cards
33

Efficiency

actual output / effective capacity

New cards
34

Utilization

actual output / design capacity

New cards
35

size and provision for expansion

distance to market

New cards
36

Product/Service Design and Product Mix

standardization of methods/material

New cards
37

Process Factors

output quality (how much need for inspection/rework)

process improvements (ways to increase productivity)

New cards
38

Factors to Consider when Perform In-House or Outsource

available capacity

expertise (do we have it? do we want it?)

quality considerations

nature of demand (high, stable demand = in-house) (wide fluctuations or small orders = outsource)

New cards
39

Stage of Life Cycle

estimate the difference (and timing) of demand requirements during a product's life cycle

New cards
40

"Big Picture"

find the bottleneck operation

  • operation with capacity lower than the capacities of other operations in the sequence

  • bottleneck operation limits system capacity

New cards
41

Theory of Constraints

a constraint is something that limits the performance of a process or system in achieving its goals

New cards
42

Bottleneck is One of These Constraints

market (insufficient demand)

resource (too little of one or more of workers, equipment, or space)

material (too little of one or more materials)

financial (insufficient funds)

supplier (unreliable, long lead time, standard quality)

knowledge or competence (know-how or skill missing or incomplete)

policy (laws or regulations interfere)

New cards
43

TOC 5-Step Process: Optimizes System in Face of Bottleneck

identify the biggest constraint

run the operation to achieve maximum benefit, given the bottleneck's capacity

make sure other portions of the process support the decision made in step two

analyze how to overcome the constraint

repeat

New cards
44

What Keeps TOC from Working?

incorrectly identifying the bottleneck

maximizing output in individual departments instead of considering the bottleneck

lack of communication about how to optimize the bottleneck

New cards
45

Supply Chain

sequence of organizations - their facilities, functions and activities - involved in producing and delivering a product or service

New cards
46

Supply Chain Management

New cards
50

Outsourcing

have someone else make your product

New cards
51

Offshoring

having someone else or yourself make a product over seas

New cards
52

Risk of Outsourcing

quality - having someone else does something for you it is going to be up to your standards

New cards
53

Benefits of Outsourcing

frees up equipment from being updated

having employees on your books

other company assumes risk of fluctuations of demand and hold the capacity

New cards
54

Risks in Supply Chain

disruptions in supply

quality issues

data security

New cards
55

Risk Responses in Supply Chain

supplier relationships (foster partnership w/other companies so one one backstabs and creates long-term contracts)

supply chain visibility (sharing info across supply chain between suppliers and buyers)

event-response capability (developing ability to take action when an event happens)

New cards
56

75

Demand Variation

can cause inventory fluctuations to get out of control

New cards
76

Bullwhip Effect

New cards
77

Asses and Select Transportation Modes

speed (elapsed time required to move from point of origin to destination)

availability (ability to service any possible location)

dependability (the variance in the expected delivery times)

capability (ability to handle any type of product and or size of load)

New cards
78

Stockpiling

storing inventory to protect against seasonality in supply or demand

New cards
79

Production Support

storing parts and components to support a plant's operations

New cards
80

Break-Bulk , Consolidation , Cross-Docking

splitting shipments into individual orders and arranging local delivery to customers

New cards
81

Break-Bulk

supplier ships entire shipment to warehouse for everything the customer of that company bought from the supplier and the warehouse breaks it down and ships it locally

New cards
82

Consolidation

multiple suppliers ship to warehouse/distribution centers where warehouse combines shipment from a number of sources into on larger shipment that goes to a single location

New cards
83

Cross-Docking
