What is Linear Programming?
A mathematical optimization technique used to find the best outcome in a mathematical model w/ linear relationships
Linear programming/model guarantees the
optimal/best solution to the mathematical (linear) model formulated.
The presence of restrictions or constraints, limits…
the degree to which we can pursue our ojective
Project management is crucial as it provides…
structured approach to achieving organizational goals
Project Management
The application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements
What are the 3 phases of project management?
Planning, Scheduling, Controlling
Work Breakdown structures (WBS)
A project broken down into smaller, manageable pieces
PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique)
A method of analyzing a project’s tasks, focusing on the time needed to complete each task
Critical Path Method
Scheduling technique to map the sequence of scheduled activities that determines the duration of the project (critical path)
Capacity
The throughput, or the number of units a facility can hold, receive, store, or produce in a period of time
Design Capacity
The maximum theoretical output of a system
Effective capacity
The capacity a firm expects to achieve given current operating constraints
Bottleneck is a
limiting factor or constraint
The capacity is the # of units,,
produced per sec/min/hour/day/week
Break-Even analysis is the technique for
evaluating process and equipment alternatives
Break-Even analysis is understanding how profits and losses
change for each option as the total # of units varies
pply-Chain Management
The objective of supply chain management is to structure the supply chain to maximize its competitive advantage and benefits to the ultimate consumer
For Supply chain risk, fewer suppliers increases
dependence
Supply chain risks
Vendor reliability and quality risks, political and currency risks
Three Functions of MRP
Order Plan and COntrol
Priority Plan and control
Provision of a basis for planning capacity requirements and development of broad business plans
BOM structure Tree
Items above given level are called parents
Items below given level are called components or children
Aggregate Planning
A process used by companies to manage the overall capacity and demand for their products or services over a specific period.
Aggregate planning strategies
Level Scheduling and Chase strategy and mixed/hybrid
the 5 Aggregate Planning Capacity Options.
Hiring and Firing: Adjust workforce size.
Overtime and Slack Time: Change working hours.
Subcontracting: Outsource extra work.
Using Inventories: Build up or draw down stock.
Part-Time Workers: Hire temporary staff.
