  9. Problem Solving • A mathematical model • A computer model • Data collection and statistical analysis

  10. Case Studies Focus on one company and document: • managerial practice • use of a technology • decision making processes

  11. Reviews • An industry • An emerging technology • A managerial practice • Academic research

  12. Example Industries • Electronics • Automotive • Food • Clothing • Medical devices • Energy

  13. Example Technologies • RFID • Wireless communication and mobile computing • Online procurement portals • Social media

  14. Example Practices • Outsourcing • Vendor managed inventory (VMI) • Delayed product differentiation • Collaborative forecasting, planning, & replenishment (CFPR) • Third & fourth party logistics (3/4PL) • Green/sustainable supply chains

  15. This Year’s Theme • Energy efficient and sustainable supply chains • Energy consumption • Carbon footprint • Closed loop supply chains • Alternative sourcing, materials, processing

  16. Production/Manufacturing Production/manufacturing is the process of converting raw materials or semi-finished products into finished products that have value in the market place. This process involves the contribution of labor, equipment, energy, and information.

  17. The Production System Production System Raw materials Finished products Energy Labor Scrap Equipment Waste Information

  18. Inventory Inventory is both an input and output of the production process. Inventory can be in the form of raw materials, semi-finished, and finished products.

  19. The Inventory System Supply source Demand source Inventory

  20. Distribution and sales Suppliers Fabrication Assembly Raw materials Component parts inventory Finished goods inventory The Production-Inventory System

  21. The Supply Chain Assembly/ Manufacturing 1st tier suppliers Distribution centers 2nd tier suppliers Retailers

  22. Supply Chain Management Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the set of functions concerned with the effective utilization of limited resources that may reside with one or more independent firms and the management of material, information, and financial flows within and between these firms, so as to satisfy customer demands and create profits for all firms.

  23. Production Planning and Inventory Control Production planning and inventory control is the subset of SCM functions that focus on managing production operations and inventory throughout the supply chain.

  24. Examples of Decisions

  25. Examples of Decisions • What should we produce, how much, and when (forecasting)? • How much can we produce (capacity planning)? • How much do we have and how much do we need (inventory management)? • When should we produce (production planning and scheduling)?

  26. A Hierarchy of Decisions Sales & Marketing Long term forecasting Transportation & Distribution Capacity Planning Warehousing & order fulfillment Network design & facility location Inventory Management Production Planning Production Scheduling

  27. Example Performance Measures

  28. Examples of Performance Measures • Cost (are products being created at minimum or acceptable cost?) • Quality (what are the specifications of the products? What percentages of shipped products meet specification?) • Variety (how many types of products are - or can be – simultaneously produced?) • Service (how long does it take to fulfill a customer order? how often are quoted lead times met?)

  29. Examples of Performance Measures (continued…) • Flexibility (how quickly can existing resources be reconfigured to produce new products?) • Worker satisfaction (are workers and managers throughout the supply chain happy and motivated?) • Safety (are work environments safe for workers and the surrounding community?) • Environmental impact (how environmentally friendly are the supply chain processes and the products?)

  30. The Bottom Line In the long run, the supply chain must be profitable by delivering value to the end customer and to do so over the long run.

  31. Classification of the Production Process • Production quantity

  32. Classification of the Production Process • Production quantity • Mass production • Batch production • Job shop production

  33. Classification of the Production Process • Production quantity • Mass production • Batch production • Job shop production • Product variety

  34. Classification of the Production Process • Production quantity • Mass production • Batch production • Job shop production • Product variety • Single product or product line • Family of similar products • One-of-a-kind products

  35. Mass Production Systems

  36. Mass Production Systems • Low product variety • High production volumes • Specialized labor • Dedicated equipment • High reconfiguration costs • Make-to-stock production

  37. Batch Production Systems

  38. Batch Production Systems • Medium product variety • Products are made in larger lots • products are made to stock • Programmable/reconfigurable equipment • Significant setup costs

  39. Job Shops

  40. Job Shops • High product variety • Products are made in small lots • Products are made to order • Flexible equipment and labor • Small setups

  41. Classification of Production Systems (continued…) • Order fulfillment

  42. Classification of Production Systems (continued…) • Order fulfillment • Make-to-stock systems (MTS) • Make-to-order systems (MTO) • Hybrid MTO/MTS

  43. Classification of Production Systems (continued…) • Order fulfillment • Make-to-stock systems (MTS) • Make-to-order systems (MTO) • Hybrid MTO/MTS • Resource configuration

  44. Classification of Production Systems (continued…) • Order fulfillment • Make-to-stock systems (MTS) • Make-to-order systems (MTO) • Hybrid MTO/MTS • Resource configuration • Product layout • Process layout • Cellular layout • Fixed position layout

  45. Classification of Production Systems (continued…) • Inputs/outputs

  46. Classification of Production Systems (continued…) • Inputs/outputs • Discrete production systems (discrete inputs and outputs - cars, computers, machine tools, etc) • Continuous production systems (continuous inputs and outputs - chemicals, textiles, food processing, pharmaceuticals) • Hybrid systems (Discrete inputs/continuous outputs or continuous inputs/discrete outputs - steel, plastics, recycling)

  47. Process capabilities & business strategy • Example product attributes: price, quality, variety, service, demand uncertainty • Example process attributes: cost, quality, flexibility, lead time

  48. A firm must choose a business strategy - attribute values for its portfolio of products - that differentiates it from the competition. • A firm must choose process capabilities, attribute values for its process, that support its business strategy.

  49. A business strategy can be driven by market opportunities or by a competitive advantage in process capabilities. • In both cases, there must be a fit between process capability and business strategy.

  50. Matching Process Choice with Product Strategy Choice Area of strategic fit Process flexibility Low High Low High Product variety
