2.3 Suggestions to Improve the Author(s) Point Based on the analysis by author and from their article, the seru production are very encourage and important to the company like Sony and Canon because they use this seru production to minimize their cost and increase their production. We agree with the author that is because the seru production can give many benefit to the organization such as it can reduce lead time, setup cost, work in process inventories, finished-product inventories, cost, required workforce, and floor space. Besides that, seru production also influences on the profits, product quality, and workforce motivation (Singh, 2017). In this suggestion, our suggestion will explain more about seru production. What the company must …show more content…
Yatai is a seru that have only one operator who is completely cross trained to assemble the product from beginning to finish without any aids. Stecke et al. (2012) says that the continuous evolution among yatai seru types in practice. When reconfiguring conveyor assembly lines, divisional seru should be formed first. With the advance of cross-training to get multi skilled operators, rotating seru can replace divisional seru, some of which can change into yatai. Besides that, the other seru designs, such as compound seru constructed by combining of the divisional seru, rotating seru, and/or yatai, and internally linked seru formed by interconnecting the three types of seru by a conveyor …show more content…
This situation means that the delivery system should get to provide a smooth flow of material among serus for the raw material and finished product. For the products that composed of many modules, different module must be processed in separate serus, and then assembled in a final assembly seru. In this situation, the delivery system of the internal linked of the seru production system is especially obvious needed. When make a well delivery system, the seru production system can achieve high performance. When want to determining the materials delivery plan, there are several comprehensive factors that including delivery time, delivery method, delivery route, delivery batch, and delivery frequency should be considered in an integrated
Achieving quality of conformance involved conform to specifications that involve providing customers with a quality product at the right price which accounts for the cost of materials. In order for a company to achieve and produce a successful product that customers want and need, it is vital that quality management and lean systems play front row. Quality management helps organizations to reduce waste and inventory. “Lean is about challenging the way things are done and opening our eyes to that waste and inefficiency” (Lean Benefits - Benefits of Lean, Why Lean is Important, 2015). Within each of these concepts are important tool and techniques that organizations can use to achieve a quality product. In this paper I will discuss “cost of quality” from the quality management side and “kaizen’s” from the lean system side, while discussing how each of these concepts are implemented into my own life or
Above recommendations might improve the quality and reduce the defects & customer complaints. They might also help making the ramp up faster, improving the process and increasing the savings per product launch ---------> Maintain the high quality image, Increase in the market share. However there would be a trade-off on flexibility and creativity.
In the novella Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck characterizes Curley’s wife as manipulative through her dialogue. To begin, Curley’s flirtatious comments characterize her as manipulative. When Curley’s wife was looking for her husband, she notices Lennie looking at her and says, “Nobody can’t blame a person for lookin'” (31). Curley’s wife is seeking interaction from Candy, using her beauty and gender. She is married but being the only woman on the ranch makes her feel lonely, so she feels that the only way she can get attention is to use her own sexuality.
Operations – To work out the right layout and work flow process in the company. The manpower resource allocation is also critical in the situation on the right balance of resource to handle the production. If possible, adopt a hybrid model to handle the flexibility in the product nature, make both the production line being able to configure standard and customized so to reduce setup and changeover time and cope with the demands.
Ownership and control of production ; vertically integrated manufacturing operation to enable its constant introducing of new items and also ensure short lead time
The basic premise for JIT is fairly simple: a company only produces an item when there is a need, or just-in-time for a company or individual to purchase it (Manoocherhi, 1988). The theory of JIT also accepts that there may be a need for an item at another work station and this would also create the need for production. Rather than utilizing the common practice of mass production and attempting to sell and distribute the products after they are created, JIT waits until there is a defined need that must be met. By doing this, JIT systems allow companies to decrease the level of production, decrease the necessary manpower hours utilized in mass production modes of supply, and eliminates the waste inherent in over-production. These techniques are especially effective for small companies, who are far less able to absorb the impact of unsold products. JIT has been shown to significantly impact reductions in overhead costs that reduce re-investments, and encourage stabilizing business practices(Manoocherhi, 1988).
The global supply chain variability is causing customer delivery delayed by around 40% and also experiencing quality problems that is introduced by the humidity difference between the locations of Chinese manufacturing plants. Moreover, it is taking much longer to deliver products, and the spare parts preventing any timely customer services. The goal is to come up with a faster product delivery and product cycle employing strategic and tactical changes that might improve supply chain problem and address the quality and increase customer
Materials go to the factory → products come out and go to customers → companies do consumer research → companies do design of product + service and re-design → then it will affects three parts 1) materials; 2) processes; 3) product. As a result, it will improve the process.
There are two main phases that are important in the movement of materials: material management and physical distribution. Materials management is the timely movement of raw materials, parts, and supplies. The physical distribution is the movement of the firm’s finished products to the customers. Both phases involve every stage of the process including storage. The ultimate goal of logistics is to coordinate all efforts of the company to maintain a cost effective flow of goods.
The chapter 2 literature review emphasized several approaches and key academic theories for the examination of role of integrated production system in the manufacturing industry to enhance the productivity. At this stage, it is crucial to expand knowledge and understanding of the philosophy and methodology of research. It is essential for the selection of most suitable methods to reach at the consistent and authentic conclusion according to the defined research objectives.
Therefore, to determine the material handling system is very important for reduce cost and increased profits. The fact material handling systems represent a major part of the total manufacturing cost make necessity to choose adequately the material handling system when a manufacturing system is designed. One of the most successful applications of experts systems is selection of equipment for material handling (SEMH). SEMH lookups the knowledge bottom to be able to suggest the degree associated with mechanization, and also the type of product coping with equipment to become utilized, according to some traits. Fisher, Farber, and Kay (1998) have introduced MATHES: material handling equipment selection expert systems for the selection of a material handling equipment from 16 possible choices. MATHES as well as 172 principles takes course, product stream quantity, product sizing's in addition to distance concerning sectors because variables. Swaminathan, Matson, and Mellichamp (1992) have developed EXCITE: expert consultant for in-plant transportation equipment addressing 35 equipment
In manufacturing process there are different steps and jobs needs to be done in specific ways and time such as sourcing the parts we need in the production, make the items, and shipping it for the customers.
This is the activity carried out by organizations that own production sites, and their performance has a major impact on product cost, quality, speed of delivery and delivery reliability, and flexibility [8]. As it is quite an important part of the supply chain, production needs to be measured and continuously improved. Suitable metrics for the production level are as follows. Order lead-time, the total order cycle time, called order to delivery cycle time, refers to the time elapsed in between the receipt of customer order until the delivery of finished goods to the customer. The reduction in order cycle time leads to reduction in supply chain response time, and as such is an important performance measure and source of competitive advantage [9]. It directly interacts with customer service in determining competitiveness. Range of product and services: According to [8] a plant that manufactures a broad product range is likely to introduce new products more slowly than plants with a narrow product range. Plants that can manufacture a wide range of products are likely to perform less well in the areas of value added per employee, speed and delivery reliability. This clearly suggests that product range affects supply chain performance. Effectiveness of scheduling techniques is another important measure of supply chain effectiveness. Scheduling refers to the time or date on or by which
In order to facilitate the growth of assets a firm must control its assets by matching production and sales. To manage sales and productions, organizations “employ level production methods to smooth production schedules and use manpower and equipment efficiently at a lower cost” (Block & Hirt, ...
