Trade-Offs (1 of 4)
Lot-size-inventory trade-off
Large lot sizes yield benefits in terms of quantity discounts and
lower annual setup costs, but it increases the amount of safety
stock (and inventory carrying costs) carried by suppliers
Inventory-transportation cost trade-off
Suppliers prefer to ship full truckloads instead of partial loads
to spread shipping costs over as many units as possible. This
leads to greater holding costs for customers
15-‹#›

Learning Objective 15.14
Trade-Offs (2 of 4)
Cross-docking
A technique whereby goods arriving at a warehouse from a
supplier are unloaded from the suppliers truck and loaded onto
outbound truck, thereby avoiding warehouse storage
Lead time-transportation costs trade-off
Suppliers like to ship in full loads, but waiting for sufficient
orders and/or production to achieve a full load may increase
lead time
21. 15-‹#›
© McGraw-Hill Education.
Learning Objective 15.14
Trade-Offs (3 of 4)
Product variety-inventory trade-off
Greater product variety usually means smaller lot sizes and
higher setup costs, as well as higher transportation and
inventory management costs

are held until late in the process to add differentiating features
15-‹#›

38. Sequence: Performance Metrics (1 of 2)
Common performance metrics:
Job flow time
This is the amount of time it takes from when a job arrives until
it is complete
It includes not only processing time but also any time waiting to
be processed
Job lateness
This is the amount of time the job completion time is expected
to exceed the date the job was due or promised to a customer
Jobs that are in a shop are considered to be WIP inventory

Makespan
The total time needed to complete a group of jobs from the
beginning of the first job to the completion of the last job

Two Work Center Sequencing
Johnson’s Rule
Technique for minimizing makespan for a group of jobs to be
processed on two machines or at two work centers
Minimizes total idle time

Learning Objective 16.8
Johnson’s Rule Conditions
Job time must be known and constant for each job at the work
center
Job times must be independent of sequence
Jobs must follow same two-step sequence
All jobs must be completed at the first work center before
moving to second work center

Learning Objective 16.8
Johnson’s Rule: Optimum Sequence
List the jobs and their times at each work center
Select the job with the shortest time
If the shortest time is at the first work center, schedule that job
first
If the shortest time is at the second work center, schedule the
job last
Break ties arbitrarily
Eliminate the job from further consideration
Repeat steps 2 and 3, working toward the center of the
sequence, until all jobs have been scheduled

Theory of Constraints (1 of 4)
Theory of constraints
Production planning approach that emphasizes balancing flow
throughout a system, and pursues a perpetual five-step
improvement process centered around the system’s currently
most restrictive constraint
Bottleneck operations limit system output
Therefore, schedule bottleneck operations in a way that
minimizes their idle times

Learning Objective 16.9
Theory of Constraints (2 of 4)
Drum-buffer-rope
Drum = the schedule
Buffer = potentially constraining resources outside of the
bottleneck
Rope = represents synchronizing the sequence of operations to
ensure effective use of the bottleneck operations

Learning Objective 16.9
Theory of Constraints (3 of 4)
Varying batch sizes to achieve greatest output of bottleneck
41. operations
Process batch
The economical quantity to produce upon the activation of a
given operation
Transfer batch
The quantity to be transported from one operation to another,
assumed to be smaller than the first operation’s process batch
16-‹#›

Learning Objective 16.9
Theory of Constraints (4 of 4)
Improving bottleneck operations:
Determine what is constraining the operation
Exploit the constraint (i.e., make sure the constraining resource
is used to its maximum)
Subordinate everything to the constraint (i.e., focus on the
constraint)
Determine how to overcome (eliminate) the constraint
Repeat the process for the next highest constraint

Theory of Constraints: Metrics
Three important theory of constraints metrics:
Throughput
The rate at which the system generates money through sales
Inventory
Inventory represents money tied up in goods and materials used
42. in a process
Operating expense
All the money the system spends to convert inventory into
throughput: this includes utilities, scrap, depreciation, and so on

Service Operation Problems
Service scheduling often presents challenges not found in
manufacturing
These are primarily related to:
The inability to store or inventory services
The random nature of service requests
Service scheduling may involve scheduling:
Customers
Workforce
Equipment

Learning Objective 16.10
Scheduling Service Operations
Scheduling customers: demand management
Appointment systems
Controls customer arrivals for service
Reservation systems
Enable service systems to formulate a fairly accurate estimate
demand on the system for a given time period
Scheduling the workforce: capacity management
43. Cyclical scheduling
Employees are assigned to work shifts or time slots, and have
days off, on a repeating basis

TO: Kelly Anderson, CEO
FROM: Alexis Finley, Operations Manager
DATE: April 27, 2020
SUBJECT: Supply Chain Management Plan
44. Background
Kibby and Strand is currently facing quality issues when
marketing started shortening delivery times to get their products
to their customers. The dilemma has created a domino effect in
the organization due to truck drivers being stuck in the
receiving department since the vehicles were filled to the
maximum with materials. Employees were overwhelmed and not
able to unload the large quantities of materials fast enough
causing truck drivers to be late at the loading dock. By
evaluating each department and creating a supply chain plan for
them, Kibby and Strand hopes to mitigate these issues.
Analysis
Kibby and Strand’s operational strategy is to provide the
highest quality of products and services to their customer’s
order on or before the requested delivery dates.
· Receiving – the receiving department plays a critical role in
the organization such as gathering data on seasonal trends. For
instance, calculate future sales and order enough raw materials
to fulfill customers’ wants for that specific quarter. In addition,
the receiving department will maintain a minimum level of
different materials so production is not halted as anticipated
orders come through during that season. And lastly, the
receiving department will maintain a standard number of
employees to ensure delivery of raw materials are processed and
sorted in a timely manner.
· Production – the production department is responsible for
converting raw materials and other inputs into finished goods.
The production department will succeed by maintaining and
developing high skilled machine operators capable of
45. maintaining high use and efficient automated machinery. In
between the processes of production, the department works to
improve the efficiency of the production line so that it can meet
the output targets set by company management and ensure
finished products offer consumers the best value and quality.
· Shipping - the shipping department is responsible for
receiving, logging and storing products until they can be
distributed to the customer before their contract deadline. In
addition, the department will be in charge of managing shipping
costs when selecting the most efficient delivery method in order
to meet contract commitments. And lastly, the shipping
department employees must fulfill shipping orders by picking
the right product from inventory and packaging the goods to get
them ready for shipment.
Execution
The checklist for receiving, production, and shipping should be
filled out at each assembly line to make sure contracts are being
finished in a timely manner.
