5. Process Planning l Make-or-buy decisions l Process selection l Specific equipment selection l Process plans l Process analysis

6. Process Planning: Process Selection With Break-Even Analysis c f = fixed cost v = volume c v = variable cost per unit p =price per unit

7. Solving For Break-Even Volume

8. Break-Even Example Fixed cost = c f =$2,000 Variable cost = c v = $5 per raft Price = $10 per raft

9. Break-Even Graph

10. Choosing Between Two Processes $3v = $8,000 v = 2,667 rafts $2,000 + $5v = $10,000 + $2v Process AProcess B Below 2,667 choose A Above 2,667 choose B

11. Graphical Solution To Process Selection A B A B

12. Point Of Indifference l Volume where cost of A = cost of B l Rule for choosing process: Above point of indifference choose process with lowest variable cost Below point of indifference choose process with lowest fixed cost

13. Process Planning: Make-Or-Buy Decisions 1. Cost 2. Capacity 3. Quality 4. Speed 5. Reliability 6. Expertise

14. Process Planning: Specific Equipment Selection 1. Purchase cost 2. Operating cost 3. Annual savings 4. Revenue enhancement 5. Replacement analysis 6. Risk and uncertainty 7. Piecemeal analysis

15. Process Planning: Process Plans - documents used l Engineering drawings (Blueprints) l Bill of material l Assembly diagram l Assembly chart / product structure diagram l Operations process chart l Routing sheet
