Stock Out Risk
1 - Service Level
26
Excess Cost
Different between purchase cost and salvage value of items left over at the end of the period Cexcess = Ce = Cost per unit – Salvage value per unit
27
Aggregate Planning Characteristics
- Intermediate Capacity Planning (2-18 months) - good for variation in demand (seasonal, etc) - big picture approach (groups together similar products)
28
Goal of Aggregate Planning
Achieve a production plan that equates demand and capacity over the entire planning horizon while minimizing cost
29
Rolling Horizon
- Most organizations use rolling 3, 6, 9 and 12 month forecasts - forecasts are updated periodically
30
Aggregate Planning Strategies
- Proactive: Alter demand to match supply (capacity) - Reactive: Alter supply (capacity) to match demand - Mixed
31
Demand Options (Aggregate Planning Strategies)
- Pricing and Promotions - Back Orders - New Demand - Yield/Revenue Management
32
Pricing and Promotions
Demand Option - shift demand from peak to off-peak periods - Price elasticity is important
33
Back Orders (Delayed Order Filing)
Demand Option - Orders are taken in one period and deliveries promised for a later period - Possible loss of sales, increased record keeping, lowered customer service level
34
New Demand
Demand Option | Offer different products/services during off-peak periods
35
Yield/Revenue Management
Demand Option - Maximizing revenue by using a variable pricing strategy. - Prices are set relative to capacity availability
36
Supply Options (Aggregate Planning Strategies)
- Hire/Fire Workers - Inventories - Overtime - Part Time Workers - Subcontracting - Level Capacity - Chase Demand
37
Level Capacity Stratgey
Supply Option - Maintaining a steady rate of regular-time output; - Variations in demand are met by using Inventories
38
Chase Demand Strategy
Supply Option -Matching capacity to demand; the planned output for a period is set at the expected demand for that period - Advantages - Investment in inventory is low - Labor utilization in high - Disadvantages - The cost of adjusting output rates and/or workforce levels
39
Dependent Demand
Demand for component parts that are used in the production of finished goods
40
Material requirements planning
- Planning and scheduling technique used for batch production of assembled items - translates Master production schedule requirements to time-phased requirements
41
Goal of MRP
Scheduling of ordering, fabrication, assembly for timely completion while keeping low inventory levels
42
MRP Inputs
Master Schedule Bill of materials Inventory records
43
What does the Master schedule state?
Which end items are produced When these items are needed In what quantities
44
Bill of Materials (BOM)
A hierarchical listing of all the assemblies, parts, raw materials needed to produce on unit
45
Product Structure tree
a visual depiction of the requirements in the BOM, listed by levels
46
Cumulative Lead Time
The sum of lead times of all phases required from ordering parts to final assembly
47
What is the relation between the master schedule and cumulative lead time ?
The master schedule should be at least equivalent to the cumulative lead time.
48
MRP Processing
Takes the end item requirements and splits them into time-phased requirements based on the master schedule.
49
Inventory Records
Includes information of an item by time periods (Time buckets)
50
Gross requirements
Total expected demand ignoring supply
51
Schedule receipts
Open orders scheduled to arrive
52
Projected on hand
Expected inventory on hand
53
Net requirements
Actual amount needed
54
Planned-order receipts
quantity expected to received
55
Planned-order releases
Planned amount to order
56
Primary MRP Outputs
Order receipts Order releases Changes
57
Order receipts
amount and time of future orders
58
Order releases
Authorizing the execution of planned orders
59
Secondary MRP Outputs

Data on any major discrepancies encountered
63
MRP Benefits
Slide 12-24
64
