OPMT 303: FINAL EXAM
What is operations |
-the part of a business organization that is responsible for producing goods or services
|
Definition of productivity |
-a measure of the effective use of resources, usually expressed as the ratio of output to input.
-tracking an operating units performance over tme
-judging the performance of an entire industry or country
|
Competitive priorities |
-how effectively an org meets the wants and needs of customers relative to others that offers that offer similar goods or services
-organizations compete through some combination of their marketing and operations function
-what do they want and how can they be satisfied
|
Competitive Priorities |
-on time delivery
-location
-flexibility
-variety
-quality
-quick response
-design (product and service)
|
Definition of capacity |
-the upper limit of ceiling on the load that an operating unit can handle. (equipment,space,employee)
|
Importance of capacity deciisons |
-Impacts an organization's ability to meet future demands
-Affects operating costs
-Major determinant of initial costs
-Involves long-term commitment
-Affects competitiveness
-Affects ease of management
-Globalization adds complexity
-planning in advance due to their consumption of financial and other resources
|
Economies of scale |
if the output rate is less than the optimal level, increasing output rate results in decreasing average unit costs
-until reach equilibrium
|
Diseconomies of scale |
if the output rate is more than the optimal level, increasing the output rate results in increasing average unit costs
|
What is a process |
-a description of the input transformation output sequence.
-a series of goal oriented activities that state the purpose to accomplish a job or service
|
Job shop (process layout) |
-layout that can handle varied processing requirements and is flexible
-produce a variety of product in small numbers
-high cost per unit, difficult cost estimation, low fixed cost, high variable costs, high skill, complex scheduling -GPe
|
batch |
-producing things in large numbers, but not a line
-somewhat routine, moderate cost per unit moderate variable fixed and labor cost,
|
line |
-layout that uses standardized processing operations to achieve smooth, rapid, high volume flow.
-lo unit cost, low flexibility, high output
|
Cost of Quality |
-failure cost: costs incurred by defective parts/product or faulty services
-internal cost: cost incurred to fix problems that are detected before sale
-external cost: all cost incurred to fix problmes that are detected after the product/service is delivered
-prevention cost: all TQ Training, planning, customer assessment, control to prevent defects
-appraisal cost: costs of activities designed to ensure quality or uncover defects
|
Tools of quality management |
-check list
-cause and effect

|
P-chart |
-is used to monitor the proportion of defectives in a process. When observations can be placed into two categories.
-good, bad pass, fail
|
aggregate planning |
-intermediate-rang capacity planning that typically covers a time horizon of 2 to 18 months
-useful for organizations that experience seasonal, other variations in demand
|
Aggregate planning inputs |
-resources: work force, facilities
-Policy statements: subcontracting, OT, inventory levels, back orders
-Costs: inventory carrying, back orders, hiring/firing, ot, inventory changes, subcontracting
|
Aggregate planning outputs |
-total cost of a plan
-projected levels of : inv,ouput, ot, employment, backordering
|
Managerial importance of aggregate planning |
-demand , you schedule your production, then resources (materials, labor, OT, etc), output is a cost model (budget)
|
Level capacity strategy |
-maintaining a steady rate of regular time output while meeting variations in demand by combination of options (line processing)
-Adv: stable output rates and workforce
-dis:greater inv cost, increase overtime, utilization vary
|
chase strategy |
-matching capacity to demand period by period, the planned output for a period is set at the expected demand for that period
-Adv: investment in inv is low, labor is high
-Dis: the cost of adjusting output rates or workforce levels
|
Master Production Scedule |
-the result of disaggregating an aggregate plan shows quantity and timing of specific end items for a scheduled horizon
-Inputs: beginning inv, forecast, customer orders
-Output: projected inv, mps, uncommitted inv
|
Independent demand |
-the demand for final products
-has a demand pattern affected by trends, seasonal patters, and general market conditions
|
dependent demand |
-describes the internal demand for parts based o the demand of the final product in which the parts are used
-sub-assemblies, components, and raw materials are examples of dependent demand items.
|
Material Requirements Planning |
- a computer based system that develops a plan for ordering and producing dependent demand items
-2 principles : parent, offset lead time
-INPUT:master schedule, BOM, Inventory records
-OUTPUT; changes order release planned order, exception planning, performance, inventory transaction, projective inventory
|
Lot-Sizing Rule (static) |
-Maintain same order quantity each time an order is issued
-Economic order quantity rule (EOQ) or fixed order quantity (FOQ)
-Quantity discounts, truckload capacity, or minimum purchase quantity
|
Lot size Dynamic |
- Each order large enough to prevent shortages (falling below the desired safety stock)—but no larger—over a specified number of weeks
- Fixed-period ordering rule: Restores safety stock and exactly covers P weeks' worth of gross requirements
Lot for lot (L4L) rule: Special case of POQ, where P = 1. Minimizes inventory
|
Lot Size comparison |
-The EOQ (FOQ) rule generates high average inventory because it creates remnants.
-The Fixed-period ordering rule (FPO) reduces average on-hand inventory because it does a better job of matching order quantity to requirements.
-The L4L rule minimizes inventory investment but maximizes the number of orders placed.
|
Capacity Requirements planning |
the process of determining short range capacity requirements
-Load Reports: report form the department of work center that compares the known and expected future capacity requirements with projected capacity availability
|
Manufacturing resource planning |
-a system that links the basic MRP system to other company systems, including finance, accounting, purchasing, and logistics
-MRPII expanded MRP with and emphasis placed on integration
(Financial planning
Marketing
Engineering
Purchasing
Manufacturing)
|
Action Notice |
-indicates management by exception approach
-action notice indicates the need to release a new order or adjust the due date of a schedule receipts.
|
Release new order |
if a planned order release is in the first week entry "action bucket"
|
Arriving too early |
-when arriving to early and enough to cover safety stock
-LATE: not enough to cover safety stock
|
rough cut capacity planning |
-validation process
-estimate how much capacity you need to produce a product. book. ---approximate balancing of capacity and demand to test the feasibility of a master schedule
-involves checking the capacities of production and warehouse facilities, labor, and vendors to ensure no gross deficiencies exist that will render the MPS unworkable
