TYPES OF MODELS IN POM


Mathematical Models – show functional relationship among variables. The mathematical model helps in working out a large number of possible outcomes in a cost effective manner and then selecting the best solution under the circumstances. – Optimisation: Algorithm for problem solving – Heuristics – a way of using rules of thumb or defined decision procedures to attack a problem. This way we reach a satisfactory solution quickly Uncertainty of Outcomes Expected value = Outcome * Probability of Outcome

Quality Concept
 Quality
    
is external and internal customer satisfaction. Quality is fitness for use.
Quality is making what the customer wants so as to delight the customer. It means near 100% accuracy in the first run.First time right and Quality first attitude. Meeting standards. No rework No complaints or reprocessing requirement from the customer Quality means pursuing what is ideal. Not making any compromises.
14
Quality Concept
 Two
 
components of Quality.
Product features and freedom from deficiencies are the main determinants of customer satisfaction. Product Features

Quality Concept
 Two
   
components of Quality.
Freedom from deficiencies. Product free of defects and errors at delivery, during use and during servicing Sales, billing and other business processes free of errors. Freedom from deficiencies refers to quality of conformance. Increasing the quality of conformance results in lower costs, fewer complaints and increased customer satisfaction.
16
Productivity Concept
     
Productivity = Output/Input Productivity of: Land …. How effectively land is used and returns on the project capital investment may depend on Location, area Building ….. How effectively space is used depends on effectiveness of Plant Layout Plant, Machinery, Tools …. Their productivity depends on Precision, Quality, Cycle Time, Downtime. Materials : Low productivity because of more Wastage, rejects, poor quality, unreliable vendors
17
Productivity Concept
       
Productivity = Output/Input Productivity of: People .. Productivity goes down because of idleness, absenteeism, rework, misfit, lack of skill/training. Partial or factoral productivity; Outputs relative to one or more inputs are partial measures of productivity Total factor productivity is the ratio of outputs to all inputs Productivity = Outputs/(Labor+Capital+materials+Energy) Output per labor… Labor productivity. Similarly for materials, energy, machine and so forth.

Quality Concept
 Productivity
goes down when quality improvement is planned through 100% inspection, screening, defect etc.  When quality is built in the process itself it results in productivity improvement.  Meaningless to raise productivity when defective products are being produced.  When Quality improves, Productivity increases because Waste is eliminated. However Capability should exist (example-typist)

Forecast Error
 When
we evaluate different forecasting methods, we need a measure of effectiveness. Forecast error is the numeric difference of forecasted demand and actual demand. A forecast method yielding large errors is less desirable than one yielding smaller errors.
•

MAD – MEAN ABSOLUTE DEVIATION
A forecast error measure that is the average forecast error error without regard to direction; calculated as the sum of the absolute value of forecast error for all periods divided by the total number of periods evaluated.
30
Forecast Error

• MAD – MEAN ABSOLUTE DEVIATION MAD = sum of the absolute value of forecast error for all periods Number of periods n = ∑ forecast errori  i=1

31
Forecast Error
 MAD
 BIAS  Bias
expresses the absolute magnitude but not the direction of error .
is a forecast measure that is the average of forecast error with regard to direction and shows any tendency consistently to over- or under forecast; calculated as the sum of the actual forecast error for all periods divided by the total number of periods evaluated.
32
Forecast Error

• Bias Bias = sum of the algebraic value of forecast error for all periods Number of periods n = ∑ (forecast errori ) i=1
n
n = ∑ (forecasted demandi  actual demandi ) i=1 n where n is the number of periods. Unlike MAD, Bias indicates the directional tendency of forecast errors. If the forecast repeatedly overestimates actual demand, Bias will have a positive value; consistent underestimation will be indicated by a negative value

33
Exercise

An ice cream parlour experienced the following demand for ice cream. The current forecasting procedure is to use last year’s corresponding weekly sales as this year’s forecast. Calculate MAD and Bias, and interpret results.. Week March 1 March 8 March 15 March 22 Forecasted demand (Kgs) 210 235 225 270 Actual Demand (Kgs) 200 260 215 300
34
Forecasting Methods-Quantitative
         
Simple Average SA = (∑ Di) /n Where Di =demand for period i, n= no. of periods. Simple Moving Average MA = (∑ Di) /m, Where Di = demand for period i, m= chosen no. of periods Weighted Moving Average WMA = ∑ Wt Dt Where Dt = demand for period t, 0 ≤ Wt ≤ 1, and ∑ Wt =1 Exponential Smoothing Ft = α Dt-1 +(1- α ) Ft-1 Where t is the period and 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 Ft is the forecast of next period’s demand; Dt-1 is the actual demand for most recent period; Ft-1 is the demand forecast for most recent period; α is the exponential smoothing coefficient.
35
Forecasting Methods-Quantitative
  
Exponential Smoothing Expanding, Ft = α (1- α )0 Dt-1 + α (1- α )1 Dt-2 + α (1- α )2 Dt-3 + α (1- α )3 Dt-3 and so on

The weights α (1- α )0 , α (1- α )1 , α (1- α )2 become successively smaller and they follow the exponential curve.
36
Regression Analysis
A
forecasting model in which from historical data, a functional relationship is established between variables and then used to forecast dependent variable values.  Ft = a + bXt, where Ft is the forecast demand, and X is the independent variable, t is time period.  Using past demand figures Dt, the coefficients a and b are found as under:  b = [n (∑ Xt Dt)– (∑ Xt )(∑ Dt )]÷ [n(∑ Xt 2)-(∑ Xt )2
 a= [∑ Dt
–b ∑ Xt] /n
37
Exercise
 Demand
for part no. 3710 was 200 in April, 50 in May and 150 in June. The forecast for April was 100 units. With a smoothing constant of 0.20, what is the forecast for July?  A small electronics company produces pocket calculators and records the demand monthly: Nov 45; Dec 57; Jan 60. Using 50 as the exponential smoothing forecast for Nov, and using a coefficient of 0.3, forecast Feb sales.

39
Qualitative Methods in Forecasting  Delphi Technique
    
A qualitative forecasting technique in which a panel of experts working separately and not meeting, arrive at a consensus through the summarizing of ideas by a skilled coordinator. The experts with diverse backgrounds like physicist, economist, engineer, chemist may make up a panel. The coordinator poses a question in writing to each expert on a panel. Each expert writes a brief prediction. The coordinator brings the written predictions together, edits them, and summarises them. On the basis of the summary, the coordinator writes a new set of questions and gives them to the experts. These are answered in writing. Again, the coordinator edits and summarises the answers, repeating the process until the coordinator is satisfied with the overall prediction synthesised from the experts.
40
 



Nominal Grouping Technique Like the Delphi technique, the nominal group technique involves a panel of experts. Unlike the Delphi technique, the nominal group technique affords opportunity for discussion among the experts. Seven to ten experts are asked to sit around a table and the facilitator hands them copies of questions needing a forecast. Each expert writes down a list of ideas which the facilitator writes in a flip chart so that every one can see them. The experts give their ideas in a round robin manner. The experts then discuss these ideas and thereafter rank the ideas in writing, according to priority. The group consensus is the mathematically derived outcome of the individual rankings. The keys to the nominal group process are clearly identifying the question, allowing creativity, encouraging discussion, and ultimately ruling for consensus.

Initial Use Failures Failure Rate Wear Out Failures
‘A’
Useful Performance Life
New Product Design is concerned with ‘A’. Reliability engineering determines least height (failure rate) and greatest length (useful performance life) based on financial, technical and consumer considerations. Data is obtained from failure rate data based on test results and field use experience.
51
Reliability
 
     
Reliability of assembly of components A and B if arranged in series, that is, if one component fails the system fails. Reliability (assembly) = P( A ) * P( B ) Reliability of components A and B if arranged in parallel, that is, the system fails only if both components fail together. Reliability (assembly) = P (A) + P (B) – P ( A ∩ B) Failure is performance below acceptable standard Failure Rate FR (%) =(No. of failures/ No. of units tested ) X 100 FR(N) = (No. of failures/No. of units hours of operating time), where FR(N) is number of failures during a period of time. MTBF, i.e Mean Time between failures, is a popular measure of reliability. MTBF = No. of unit hours of operating time/ No. of failures = 1/ FR(N) Higher the MTBF, better is the reliability.
Improving individual components reliability through better design, better sourcing of material (purchase) Providing of redundancy Preventive Maintenance Increasing Repair Capabilities

Maintainability
 
Maintainability refers to the ease with which the product can be put back into service again after a breakdown. MTTR, i.e mean time to repair, is a measure of Maintainability. Lower the MTTR, better is the maintainability.
Fault diagnostic must be quick Search time for tools etc. must reduce Access must be easy Design should be simple so that maintenance is easy Spares should be available Circuit diagrams, drawings, manuals should be available Training of repair personnel so that repair capability is enhanced Modular repair, so that module is replaced at the user end and detail component level repair is done later Standardisation of items, spares System and procedures for maintenance Incentives and motivation for maintenance personnel
Tactics for improving maintainability:

LAYOUT PLANNING
89
Plant Layout


Layout is physical location of departments, work centers, equipments, in the conversion process; spatial arrangement of physical resources including utilities like piping, wiring, cabling, etc. Layout has to be designed tailor made to operations, broadly categorised as: – Intermittent operations : made to order, batch, low volume, labor intensive products, having more variety in product mix, using general purpose equipments, interrupted product flow and frequent schedule changes – Continuous operations: standardised, high volume, capital intensive products, produce to stock/keep inventory, small variety product mix, special purpose equipment, and continuous product flow
90
Principles of Good Plant Layout

         
Moving shortest possible distance (minimum man-hours/cost in man/material movement, high transportation efficiency); avoid backtracking Adequate open space- for operators, materials, safe places, storage, work in progress, aisles, etc.; avoid congestion Efficient space utilization Smooth production flow, follow the manufacturing process Flexibility for expansion Easy to manage/supervise Safety Environment, pollution control, effluent disposal Health Hygiene, illumination, ventilation Fulfillment of statutory requirements
91
Types of Plant Layout
  
 
Process Oriented or Functional Layout: equipments are grouped together according to functional type Product oriented or Line Layout : equipments are in line to provide a specialised sequence of tasks Fixed layout: the arrangement of facilities so that product stays in one location: tools, equipments, workers are brought to it as needed (for example, ships, aircrafts) Combination layout (product + process) Cellular layout: arrangement of facilities so that equipment used to make similar parts or families of parts is grouped together

Shape of Layout
– Straight line – Oval shape, Circular – Zig Zag, S shape, L shape – U shape


Problem with straight line layout is that when the line becomes too long, then trouble in component supply and controlling line. Also when jigs must be returned to first stage of production. Developing Layouts:
– Use of templates: 2D cutouts of equipments,man etc – Load distance model

 Is the line efficient? Calculate idleness of man and machine. Idle time will increase cost which ultimately may make the unit non competitive. Balancing the Line Line balancing problem is assigning tasks among workers in the assembly line stations so that performance times are made as equal as possible. Longest Operation Time (LOT) Rule: A line balancing heuristic that gives top assignment priority to the task that has longest operation time.
109
 Balancing
the Line: Six Steps  1. Define tasks  2. Identify precedence relationships  3. Calculate minimum number of stations required to produce desired output  4. Apply the LOT rule to assign tasks to each station  5. Evaluate effectiveness and efficiency  6. Seek further improvement
110
       
Balancing the Line: Window frame assembly example Find minimum number of stations: Min. no.stations = Total processing time/Cycle time Time required = sum of total time of tasks= Sum of time for A to H tasks= 380 seconds If cycle time is 90 secs, minimum no. of stations= 380/90= 4.22 I.e 5 stations. If cycle time is 80 secs, no. of stations = 380/80 =5 Actual layout may need more because of precedence requirements. Initial layout uses 6 work stations.
111

Balancing the Line: Window frame assembly example
 LOT
1: assign first the task that takes the most time to the first station. Maintain precedence requirements.  LOT 2: After assigning a task, determine how much time the station has left to contribute (Time minus Task Times)  LOT 3: If the station can contribute more time, assign it a task requiring as much time as possible. Maintain precedence relationship. Else return to LOT 1 and continue until all the tasks have been assigned to stations.

PPC concerns with volume and timing of outputs; matching of resources namely materials, manpower and equipments to meet desired output as per schedule; utilization of operations capacity to the maximum and balancing outputs with capacity; maintaining cost effectiveness and meeting customer’s schedule deadlines. PPC is planning production, fixing route/sequence, scheduling (start and end timings) and follow up. Planning function includes planning, loading, routing, scheduling, process planning, material planning, tool planning, demand forecasting, inventory planning Control function includes coordinating entire production, sales, stores, link to all functions, progressing, follow up, expediting, material control, inventory control, ensuring production targets, delivery deadlines, capacity utilization.

Master production Schedule: shows week by week how many of each product must be produced according to customer orders and demand forecasts. This is a more detailed level of planning and disaggregates the product groups into individual products. Rough cut capacity planning (also called resource requirements planning) is process of testing feasibility of MPS in terms of capacity. To check if MPS causes overload of any work center/machine/deptt making MPS unworkable. Check generally applied to bottleneck facilities. MRP shows time phased requirements for releasing materials and receiving materials for implementing MPS. Shop floor control: coordinates weekly and daily activities that get jobs done Loading: the cumulative amount of work currently assigned to a work center for future processing

Prioritising items; separating the vital few from the trivial many, using the Pareto principle.Few items (about20%) responsible for about 80% of the problems. ABC Analysis:based on annual consumption value in money terms. VED Analysis: for maintenance spares and other similar items classified according to their importance ranked as Vital, Essential and Desirable. SDE Analysis: from procurement angle. Ranking items as Scarce, Difficult and Easy to obtain. FSN or FSD Analysis: based on material movement/rate of consumption. Priritised as fast, Slow and Non Moving items or Dead items. Used to clear inventory of deadwood.

IMPORTANCE OF MATERIALS MANAGEMENT Sales Rs 10 million Materials Rs 6 million Labour Rs 1 million Overheads Rs 2 million Profits Rs 1 million If one is given the responsibility to increase profits by 30% i.e. by Rs 0.3 million, there are following options : 1) Increase sales volume by 30% by making substantial increase in marketing efforts. 2) Reduce material cost by 5% 3) Reduce labour cost by 30% 4) Reduce overheads by 15% Which option will you take?
161
 IMPORTANCE
   
OF MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
Also ROI =(Profit/Sales) X Sales/(Fixed Assets+Current Assets) Current Assets are predominantly materials.Lower the current assets, higher is the ROI. Fixed Assets constitute capital already sunk and the only scope for improving the return on investment lies in the efficient management of materials which constitute the bulk of the current assets.
162
INTEGRATED MATERIALS FUNCTION Materials management function is to plan, control, organise, coordinate, source, purchase, transport, store and control the materials in an optimum manner so as to provide a pre decided service to the customer in terms of quality and schedule at the minimum cost. Materials Management brings together under one manager all the planning, organising, and control activities associated with the flow of materials into and through an organisation. Physical distribution is even broader , encompassing managing materials flow into the organisation as well as managing materials storage and transportation flow out as finished products.
163
Functions of Materials Management • Material Planning • Purchasing • Vendor Development • Stores Management • Material Control • Inventory Control • Waste Reduction • Standardisation • Variety Reduction • Value engineering • Transportation • Material handling • Disposal of Scrap Surplus and Obsolete Material
164
Some of the above functions have conflicting interest. For example, Purchase would like to buy in large quantities to avail quantity discount and save on ordering cost as well as time. The Finance function is worried over blocked capital because of inventories. While production wants large inventory support so that production goes unhampered and does not stop on account of material shortages. As the above functions can be conflicting and inter related, there is a need to have an integrated set up so the top materials executive can exercise control and coordinate with an over view that ensures optimal utilisation of the company’s resources.
165
The advantages of integration are : • Better accountability - through centralisation of authority and responsibility. • Cost Reduction • Elimination of waste • Better inventory planning • Faster inventory turnover • Meeting delivery deadlines through material availability • Higher productivity and higher profits • Better communication and better coordination • Adaptability to computerisation
