Inputs to the Process SOPs Demand Management Strategic Capacity Levels
Forecasts of customer demand Need for spares, etc. Pricing Strategic Capacity Levels Existing buildings Processes SOPs External Capacities Suppliers Subcontractors ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
11
Advantages of SOP Negotiated process Functional coordination
“Agreed” demand Functional coordination Budgets and cash flow analyses Reduces operations task to “meeting the plan” ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
12
SOP Approaches Top-Down Bottom-Up Similar products OR stable mix
Standards available for planning time, cost requirements from history and/or planning documentation Can “Average” product Bottom-Up Different products AND unstable mix Requires forecasts and production data for individual products Can be extremely data- intensive ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
13
Top-Down Planning Develop the aggregate sales forecast and planning values. Translate the sales forecast into resource requirements. Personnel, equipment, materials Generate alternative production plans. Chase, level, mixed Select the best of the plans. Lowest cost, best fit to capability ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield

Top-Down Example (Other Issues …)
Are complete costs shown? Expand out for budget and cash flow analysis “Input” (suppliers) and “output” (logistics and warehousing) considerations Lead time, materials availability, storage space? Variations in actual production Scrap, rework, equipment breakdowns Input and output considerations such as lead-time, availability, storage space, etc. ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
24
Top-Down Example (Expand the options …)
We can now subcontract production Maximum subcontract of 1400 units per month Cost is $5 more per unit than internal production cost Will this option: 1) increase costs? 2) decrease costs? 3) have no effect on costs? Plan will decrease costs by holding employment steady and using subcontracting last three months (536, 688, and 1176), finishing with 1000 units in inventory – total cost is $136,704. ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield

Options for Services Smooth out demand: Tiered workforce:
Appointments Discounts and promotions Seasonal complements Tiered workforce: Full-time and part-time Customer involvement Minimize on-line activities ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
32
Self-Test Go into SOP.xls and try to develop a aggregate production plan with lower costs than either the pure chase or pure level strategies. Do this by varying the actual workforce in place, making sure you keep inventory levels above 0 at all times. Suppose firing and hiring costs were to double while inventory holding cost per unit was cut in half. How do you think this would affect the relative attractiveness? ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield

Advanced Topic: Optimization Modeling
What is optimization modeling? Essential conditions Application to operations problems ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
34
Optimization Modeling
Family of mathematical techniques used to allocate limited resources among competing demands in an optimal way What is our financial objective? What are our constraints? ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
35
Optimization Example 1 Product mix: Find the product mix that will maximize revenue, given limits on materials, labor hours, and machine hours available ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
36
Optimization Example 2 SOP: Find the workforce and inventory levels which will minimize hiring, firing, and inventory costs while still meeting demand. ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
37
Optimization Example 3 Transportation Problem: Minimize the cost of shipping items from different plants to different stores ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield

Optimization Essential Conditions I
Explicit objective Maximize revenue or profit Minimize costs 2. Some constraint(s) Resource limits Demand requirements ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
40
Optimization Essential Conditions II
Conditions can be expressed mathematically Revenue = $1000X Variable cost = $310X Assembly hours needed = 15X Divisibility OK to make half a unit or hire two thirds of an individual ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
41
SOP Optimization Two major types of problems
Maximize profit or revenues subject to resource constraints Minimize costs subject to demand requirements ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
42
Maximization Problem I
CSE: $1000 per unit Home Gym: $150 per unit Labor requirements: Assembly Painting CSE Home Gym ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
43
Maximization Problem II
Hours available per month Assembly 2200 hours Painting 750 hours Sales of home gyms limited to 150 per month ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
44
In mathematical form: (CSE C, Home Gym H)
Maximize: $1000C + $150H Subject to the following conditions: 50C + 2H < (Assembly hours constraint) 2C + 3H < 750 (Painting hours constraint) H < (Demand limit on home gyms) C, H > 0 (think about it!) ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield

Bottom Up Plan to Allocate Capacity to Maximize Profits
and After Solving ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
47
Key Points This is the most revenue we could generate, given the constraints “No slack” assembly time, Home gym demand More painting time or more CSE demand wouldn’t change anything More constraints can only make the problem more difficult, fewer constraints can only help ©2006 Pearson Prentice Hall — Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management — Bozarth & Handfield
