Factory Simulation Paper – Part 2 I know that several of you are.docx

Factory Simulation Paper – Part 2
I know that several of you are concerned about the format and
length of this paper since they are not defined. Here are some
tips that I have learned about Operations Management that
might help.
Two ways that business professionals display information is in a
Decision Paper or Information Paper. These are both very
similar with the only difference being that the information paper
is designed to inform a decision maker and a decision paper is
providing the information necessary to make a decision. At this
point in your short Operations Manager career I would
recommend an Information Paper approach. This way you can
specifically inform your boss (the CEO) what you have done to
the factory and what the results were.
Here is a typical Information Paper format.
Title Page: With your name, the title of your paper (use
something real, not MGT 307), and a date
Body:
Start with an introductory paragraph that informs the boss of
what you are trying to tell them.
Bottom Line paragraph that says where you are and what is
next. This should be short.
Assumptions paragraph that states any assumptions that you
made or will have to make in the future.
Facts and Analysis paragraphs are the meat and potatoes. What
did you do? What did you expect to happen? What really did
happen? Support these facts with graphics. The graphics can
be visual displays of data or tables of data. You choose how
best to sell your results. You can do this either as a week by
week discussion or by a topic (forecasting, scheduling, etc.).
Summary and conclusion: This set of paragraphs brings all of
the highlights to a close.
References – if you need them. I don’t require them unless you
specifically call out something that the boss may need to take a

deeper look at.
Hopefully this format now allows you to tell your story about
the three things that you are being graded on:
1. How did your team’s factory improve over time? Use real
metrics to show that your team became more effective and more
efficient. 15 points
2. What did your team do and how did it affect your team’s
results? Use real metrics to show what happened. 50 points
3. What would you do differently and why? Use information
from the book/slides/videos/class to support your comments. 35
points
Good luck!
Factory Process Improvement Update
The First Two Months
Jerry Burch
April 2, 2018
Purpose:
This paper provides information about what we have done over
the first two months to improve the factory effectiveness and
efficiency. We have several things that have worked well and

others that we are still working on.
Bottom Line:
In the first two months we have increased X by Y. We expect
this to continue since we still have several projects that are just
now beginning to take effect. In particular we anticipate …
which will …
Assumptions:
We assumed that continuous improvement processes will be
used to improve efficiency and effectiveness without hiring any
more employees and without making any financial improvement
to the factory.
Facts and Analysis:
(Here is where you really get to shine. A great way to display
this information is to start a paragraph telling what you were
trying to accomplish. Then put a graph just below that shows
what happened. Then put a paragraph explaining the data.
Repeat the process until you are done.)
Our first concern was to reduce the forecasting error around
Models A and B. To address this we chose to use a _______
forecasting technique based on the apparent ______ that we
saw. Figure 1 shows the Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE)
over time.
Figure 1 – Mean Absolute Percent Error over 7 week period
As you can see from Figure 1 we were able to reduce the MAPE
from around 30% to 15% over the 7 week period. We did this
by implementing _____ during week 4 which really helped and
then the second largest gain came in week ____ when we _____.
We think that we may be able to reduce the MAPE another
____% by _____ in the future.
Summary and conclusion:
In the first seven weeks of this project we have successfully
reduced ___ by ___%, increased ___ by $_____, … This gives
us an overall reduction of ____ of __ and _____ of an additional
____. We have made a few mistakes like _____ and ____ that
have slowed our progress and we will correct this by _____ in

the next ____ weeks/months.
References – if you need them. I don’t require them unless you
specifically call out something that the boss may need to take a
deeper look at.

Use APA style subheadings, double-spacing, 12-point font, one-
inch margins (left, right, top, and bottom), page
numbering, and logical flow from topic to topic.
Information and/or quotes from other sources should be relevant
and thoughtfully placed. Consult the
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association,
sixth edition, for proper form of citations and
references. You may use sources from the Web, your textbook
or other books, and scientific journals. Magazines
and newspapers are generally not acceptable. For instance, the
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology is
acceptable, but Psychology Today is not. If you are not sure,
ask your instructor.
The following criteria will be considered in the evaluation of
your paper:
1. Accuracy—Are your stated facts or ideas correct?
2. Clarity—Is your essay clear and easy to follow? You may
want to read your essay out loud to yourself. This
will help you catch incomplete sentences or lapses in logic.
3. Depth—Are the issues and implications well thought out and

explored?
4. Originality—What is your thesis (the main point of your
essay)? Have you stated your own views and
articulated them well? Use your own words. Do not copy
material directly from your text or other sources
without quotation marks. If you want to use the author's exact
words, put them in quotation marks and cite
the page number from your text or other source material. Don't
forget to express your own opinion.
5. Supporting evidence—Are your ideas supported with
empirical evidence? This is a crucial part of any well-
written essay. You may support your ideas with theories,
previously conducted research, or other
information you encounter in the text and other sources (journal
articles and so forth). You may also use
personal experiences as supporting evidence when appropriate.
6. References—Did you use appropriate references to support
the main points of your paper? You may find
references in the textbook bibliography that support your ideas.
Be sure you have these references—that is,
that you have the articles on hand if you used them, and make
sure that your references relate to the point
you are making or support your inferences.
7. Form, composition, spelling, and so forth —Isyour paper neat
and error-free? It helps to run spellcheck
before submitting your work and to have a colleague or friend
read over your work.
8. APA style—Did you follow the formatting rules of the
American Psychological Association (APA)? Use your
APA publication manual. You may also want to visit the APA
Web site, the APA Tutorial in the PSYC Learning

Tools in the Course Content Area of your WebTycho classroom
the UMUC Guide to Writing and Research,
and/or UMUC's library Web page.

InstructionsInstructionsYou have just been hired as the
Operations Manager of a factory that builds speakers.It is a
fairly simple process where the following steps occur:You
receive weekly demands from your customers and you must try
to fill those orders that week.You order on Fridays for the
demand that you expect for the next week and the material
shows up Sunday before the work week. If you do not order
enough that week, you will not be able to fill all of your orders
(you have a stock out)You have five employees that you can put
at any of the five work stations. However, you can not hire
more and you can't have more than one person at a
workstation.You make two different speakers (Model A and
Model B). Each speaker has 5 components that are soldered
together to make a solid state speaker.The difference between
Model A and B is that Model B is a higher end speaker and has
two upgraded parts (Part 1 and Part 3).The current process is set
up as an assembly line. Each morning every employee goes to
receiving and gathers enough parts to last them an hour. They
then work on those parts and until they are finished and then go
get another hours worth of parts. This effectively means that
each person is spending about 10 minutes each hour stocking

their area.Everyone starts the day at the same time and everyone
works until the work for that day is done.The current workload
has you people working overtime. The fully loaded pay
(including insurance and taxes) is $18.12 per hour and everyone
gets paid the same. Overtime is paid at time and a half.Each
week you team needs to make the following decisionsReview
the information on the Student Report for that week. This first
weekly report is Student Report 0You will find a lot of
information on the Student Report 0. Perhaps the most
important part is the weekly demand dataPlease notice that you
have 11 weeks of demand before you started the job.You also
have the current demand for the first week that you are
employed. In this case Model A total demand is 333 and Model
B is 144Fill out your team's Student input 1 to make your first
decisionPlease do not change the format of the page since the
information will be used in this manner by the instructorDecide
how many Model A and Model B you want to make that week
and put that informtion into the sheetDecide which of your
employees will work at each work stationDecide how many
additional parts you need to order to meet the expected demand
for the next weekAnd then decide what changes you want to
make to the factory or the operations of the factory. You are
allowed three requests to the CEO each week, so pick the things
that you think will matter the most.Submit the entire Excel
worksheet back to D2L before the due date.

for the four weeks of managing the operations. At this point
these results should be much higher ($80k+) Here are some
things that you have done right, and things you could have
fixedPart 4580You did a very good job of training your
employees early and switching your process to free up some
time. You also switched to a supplier that had better quality
parts.Part 5580However, you could have addressed the quality
issue more directly by inspecting parts when they arrived or
inspecting assemblies along the wayModel A62Other things that
you could have addressed were performing physical inventories
which would have reduced you cost of inaccurate
inventoryModel B36The last thing is that you ended up with too
much inventory which actually caused you to lose money this
