Strategic and Business Planning

Set direction for manufacturing planning and control.

Focus on the medium-to-long (business plan) and long-term (strategic plan).

Determine order fulfillment strategies.

Determine process choices.

Influence process layouts.

Master Planning of Resources

Sales and operations planning (S&OP): Integrate functional plans into a product-family sales and operations plan

Master scheduling: Disaggregate the production plan to create an end-item master production schedule (MPS)

Demand management: Ensure sales and operations plans and MPS are consistent with forecasts and orders

Distribution planning: Plan distribution inventory and validate adequacy of logistics resources to execute the sales and operations plan and MPS


Detailed Scheduling and Planning

Discrete products made using job shop/intermittent production

Time-phased material planning logic: material requirements planning (MRP)

Infinite capacity planning: capacity requirements planning (CRP)

Discrete and nondiscrete products in assembly lines and continuous manufacturing

Rate-based material planning logic: production schedule

Finite capacity planning


Batch Processes Flow Processes

• End item and component quantities needed to execute the MPS

• When items and quantities will be needed

• Items and quantities currently in stock

• Sufficiency of workers and equipment

Outputs


Prioritize, sequence, and authorize work.

Execute plans, expedite, implement controls, record results.

Feedback results to master scheduling and production control to enable adjustments to plans.

Authorize production based on issuance of a schedule (MRP-based system).

Use visual systems to authorize start of production at work stations (lean/JIT-based system).

Maintain planned rate of production.

Principles of Push Systems

Rely on MPC to plan production priorities and capacity.

For batch processes– Create detailed time-phased schedules.– Release and push work orders through operations based schedules.– Use MRP-based production activity control.– Maximize capacity utilization.

For flow processes – Produce to rate-based schedules.– Maximize rate of product flow. – Create finished goods inventory as necessary.

Principles of Lean/JIT

Produce products only to customer orders.

Level demand so that work may proceed smoothly.

Link processes to customer demand through visual tools.

Maximize the flexibility of people and machinery.

Problem 1.2 Pull System Simulation

1. Did you ever reach a stockout situation?

2. How many coin flips were necessary to make your determination?

3. What can you conclude about the need for finished goods inventory?


1. What is the lowest level to which WIP and FGI can be reduced and still achieve 100 percent customer service with a one hour delivery lead time?

2. What assumption needs to be made about customer demand for this lean/JIT replenishment model to work?

You should not have reached a stockout situation.

Six flips should have been adequate.

Finished goods inventory served as a buffer against stockouts.

The rate of customer demand needs to be steady.
