Scheduling Last stage of planning before production occurs Specifies when labour, equipment, facilities are needed to produce a product or provide a service
Objectives in Scheduling
Meet customer due dates Minimise response time Minimise completion time Minimise time in the system Minimise overtime Minimise work-in-process inventory
Loading
Check availability of material, machines and labour
Sequencing
Release work orders to shop and issue despatch lists for individual machines Maintain progress reports on each job until it is complete
Monitoring
Loading
Process of assigning work to limited resources Perform work on most efficient resources
Assignment Method
1. Perform row reductions subtract minimum value in each row from all other row values 2. Perform column reductions subtract minimum value in each column from all other column values 3. Cross out all zeros in matrix use minimum number of horizontal and vertical lines to cover all the 0s 4. If number of lines equals number of rows in matrix then optimum solution has been found. Make assignments where zeros appear 5. Else modify matrix subtract minimum uncrossed value from all uncrossed values add it to all cells where two lines intersect other values in matrix remain unchanged 6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 until optimum solution is reached

Material Procurement
Objective of the Purchasing Function
To provide materials of the right Quality , in the right quantity , at the right time , at the right price from the right source thus enabling the organisation to meet customer requirements
Ten Principles from the Vendee Vendor Relationship from the standpoint of Quality Control
Purpose Both Purchaser and Supplier should sincerely practice the following ten principles while fostering a spirit of mutual trust , cooperation and tolerance and inculcate a sense of social responsibility 1. Purchaser and Supplier are responsible for understanding each others Quality Control Systems and working together to implement Quality Control ( 1957 ) 1. Purchaser and Supplier are jointly responsible for understanding each others Organisational Systems and working together to create value for the end user ( 2000 ) 2. Purchaser and Supplier should preserve their individual autonomy while respecting each others independence ( 1957 ) 2. Purchaser and Supplier must be interdependent i.e. must depend on each other while preserving their independence ( 2000 ) 3. The Purchaser is responsible for presenting his requirements to the supplier in such a way that the Supplier clearly understands what he should manufacture ( 1957 ) 3. The Purchaser and Supplier must talk in the same language so that there is no ambiguity in understanding and realising requirements ( 2000 )
4. Before starting any business transactions , purchaser and supplier should draw up and sign proper contracts covering matters such as Quality , Quantity , Price , Delivery Deadlines and Payment conditions ( 1957 ) 4. Before starting any Business Transactions , the purchaser and supplier must document requirements for Quality , Quantity , Price , Delivery , and Payment terms . There must also be a quest for continual improvement ( 2000 ) 5. The Supplier is responsible for guaranteeing that the materials supplied are of a Quality that will satisfy the purchaser during use . He is also responsible for providing the objective data needed to confirm this , as required ( 1957 ) 5. The Supplier must look beyond merely conforming to purchaser specifications . This could involve studying the end use of the component in the purchasers system and providing relevant evidence of performance where possible ( 2000 ) 6. When the purchasing contract is drawn up , purchaser and supplier should decide on evaluation methods satisfactory to both parties ( 1957 ) 6. Periodic checks ( pre determined audits ) on the Suppliers Systems by the Purchaser need to be carried out in accordance with standards or mutually agreed and documented procedures ( 2000 )
7. When preparing the contract , purchaser and supplier should decide on methods and procedures for the amicable settlement of disputes ( 1957 ) 7. An empathetic approach toward settling disputes between the purchaser and supplier must be encouraged should any such occasion arise ( 2000 ) 8. Purchaser and Supplier should give due consideration to each others standpoints and exchange the information needed by each party for Quality Control ( 1957 ) 8. Improvement and Innovation of the Product and/or Process at the Suppliers end must be encouraged through continual exchange of information , knowledge and training between the purchaser and supplier ( 2000 ) 9. To ensure a trouble-free relationship , both purchaser and supplier should , at all times , properly manage business activities such as ordering , production , inventory planning , administration and organisation ( 1957 ) 9. A seamless integration of business processes (through the use of technology at both ends wherever possible) must be encouraged at all times ( 2000 ) 10. In all business transactions , both the supplier and purchaser should always take full account of the final consumers interest ( 1957 ) ( 2000 )

Level 0
No System Followed Not much elaboration is needed about this level of competence . This is a level of incompetence rather than competence .
Suppliers at this level should work towards performing at the next level - though this does not stop the Suppliers from aiming at any of the higher levels .
Level 1
System followed but not Documented
At this level of competence , observations normally indicate that all personnel in the organisation perform operations through experience and word of mouth . There do not exist any kind of documentation or records that provide evidence of following the system . Even if records do exist , these are largely to do with the finance or despatch functions only . The aim should be to begin documentation of all the processes in the organisation beginning with the manufacturing processes
Level 2
System followed but not entirely Documented At this level of competence , only the visible and tangible processes are documented All the manufacturing processes are documented indicating among other important features :
Control Plans indicating in detail the critical characteristics that are to be controlled during operations . Check Sheets based on the Control Plans Reports based on the Check Sheets Analysis and feedback of reports and records
The aim at this level is to create a discipline of generic process analysis and to move from a basic meeting requirements paradigm toward a designing something of value paradigm of management
Level 3
Quality System Documented but not all records in place At this level of competence , when the organisation has begun altering their products to meet and exceed customer requirements , they also begin improving the effectiveness of all their processes as well The aim of the organisation should now be to extend the documentation of all processes in the organisation using the lessons learned from documentation of the manufacturing processes . This means that initially all the processes can be documented but resulting records should also be analysed and improvements resulted accordingly . The aim now becomes to improve Business Processes of the organisation
Level 4
Quality System Documented and thoroughly followed
At this level of competence , all the organisational functions are documented , maintained and controlled akin to the Manufacturing Processes . These include Marketing , Personnel , Finance , Purchasing , Manufacturing , Tool Engineering , Stores , Packaging , Quality Control , Quality Assurance , Research and Development and Despatch . The aim of the organisation should now be to upgrade its Systems to meet the ISO 9001 or any other equivalent system certification standard as required .
Level 5
At this level of competence , the System has been certified to the ISO 9001 Model for Quality Assurance . This indicates that all Systems are in place , audited and are being thoroughly followed . The aim for Suppliers at this level of competence should be to continuously improve their systems to adapt to the latest changes in Technology , Business , Statutory and Regulatory Requirements , Environmental Regulations and Socio Economical Structure .
System Certified
Tools such as Quality Function Deployment , Product / System Reliability , Design of Experiments , ppm ( parts per million ) should be used .
Level 6
System continually growing and Improving with time At this level of competence , the System is said to be in a mature state . The aim of the organisation should be to sustain current level of systems and to simultaneously improve systems .
The Raytheon Supplier Rating System (SRS) provides three numeric ratings of supplier performance: the Quality Rating, the Delivery Rating and the Quantitative Rating (a composite of the quality and delivery ratings). The underlying methodology used to calculate these ratings is described below. 1.0 SRS Quality Rating
The SRS Quality rating is based on 3 components: Parts Per Million (PPM), Lot Acceptance Rate (LAR) and the number of Supplier Corrective Action Requests (SCAR).
Quality Rating = 0.55*(ppm Score)+0.27 * (LAR) + 0.18*(NCR The quality rating is calculated as follows: Score)
(1.1) Quality Rating = 0.545*(PPM Score) + 0.273*(LAR) + 0.182*(SCAR Score)

(1.2)
First term, Weighted 55%, is the PPM Score : PPM Score is The PPM Score is obtained from the graph below based on the calculated PPM value . PPM = Based Failures + Incoming Failures + Floor Failures)/Total Receipts * 1,000,000.the graph (Source on the calculated PPM level according to When PPM exceeds below. 500,000 the PPM Score is zero (0).

Quality Rating
Quality Rating is 60% of the Quantitative Rating and composed of 3 Sub-Criteria:
55% for rejected Parts Per Million (PPM) PPM = (total rejects / total receipts) * 1000000 PPM Score is based on the calculated PPM value 27 % for Lot Acceptance Rate (LAR) at receiving. LAR = (Quality Lots Accepted) / (Total Lots Received) 18% for NCR (3 month period) issued to the supplier and has not responded by the due date. 0 NCR = 18% 1 NCR = 12% 2 NCR = 6% >2 NCR = 0%
Example
Quality Rating Elements
PPM = Total failures in 3 months / Received Quantity in 3 months = 114 / 51532 = 2212 PPM Score = 0.9901 ( from Algorithm ) Calculated PPM = 0.9901*(55) = 54
LAR = Lots accepted / Lots received = 886 / 887 = 99.9 Calculated LAR = 0.999*(27) = 26.97 NCR = 0 So Calculated NCR = 18 Quality Rating = 54+26.97+18 = 98.97 Delivery Rating = Sum of Delivery Ratings / Deliveries Delivery Score = 450 / 887 = 0.507 = 50.7% Quantity Rating = Sum of Quantity Ratings / Lots received Quantity Score = 689 / 887 = 0.777 = 77.7% Total Score = 0.9897(60) + 0.507(20) + 0.777(20) = 85.06

What is Quality ?
Walter A. Shewhart in 1924 Quality has Four Major Dimensions A Set of Characteristics How Constituted An Attribute Absence indicates not Quality As a relationship between Characteristics Realities Objective and Subjective Objectives are Measurable Subjectives are related to Use , Cost , Value and Exchange
What is Quality ?
Quality is a state in which value entitlement is realised for the customer and provider in every critical aspect of the business relationship Mikel Harry ( 2003 ) the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements ISO 9000 : 2000
The level of Excellence with which we continually create Customer Value in the most economical way
Quality aimed at , to meet the needs of the consumer , must be stated in terms of specified Quality characteristics that can be measured . It is necessary to predict what Quality characteristics of a product will produce satisfaction in use . Quality , however , to the consumer , is not a set of specifications . The Quality of any product is interaction between the product , the user , his expectations , and the service that he can get in case the product fails or requires maintenance .
The needs of the consumer are in continual change . So are materials , methods of manufacture , and products .
Quality of a product does not necessarily mean high Quality . It means continual improvement of the process , so that the consumer may depend on the uniformity of the product and purchase it at low cost . ..W. Edwards Deming 1980
Quality Management
A people focussed management system that aims at continual increase in customer satisfaction at continually lower cost , working horizontally across functions and departments , involving all employees and processes , top to bottom , extending forwards and backwards to include the Supply chain as well as the Customer chain .
PRODUCTION
A commitment that has to be met implying satisfied requirements An effort that is carried out to meet these requirements An act carried out to assess the effectiveness of the efforts to meet these requirements

Definition of Statistical Thinking Statistical Thinking is a philosophy of learning and action based on the following fundamental principles : All work occurs in a system of interconnected processes Variation exists in all processes
Like it or not, variation is everywhere! Our drive time to work each day.
The quantity of production each shift. Departure time of trains !! Know it, model it, learn to deal with it!
Use the tools of problem solving to identify the root cause(s). Try to identify exactly when, where, how, and why the process changed. If a Special Cause hurts the process, develop procedures to eliminate the return of the problem. If a Special Cause is beneficial, develop procedures to make it a permanent part of the process.
Use the tools of improvement to study all the data (not just the good or the bad points) and identify factors that cause variation. Determine what needs to be permanently changed to achieve a different level of Quality.
Without Data
Everyone is an expert : discussions produce more heat than light Historical memory is unreliable Difficult to get agreement on : What the problem is What success looks like Progress made Process management is ineffective Improvement is slowed
Early on, we failed to focus adequately on core work processes and statistics.

Preventive Maintenance
The practice of tending to equipment so that it is never idle because of a malfunction or a breakdown thus being in a state of optimal operation at all times
Maintainability
Maintainability is the effort and cost of performing maintenance . There are two measures of maintainability Mean Time To Repair ( MTTR ) Mean Time Between Failures ( MTBF )
Example
Twenty Machines are operated for 100 hours . One Machine fails at 60 hours and another machine fails at 70 hours . The rest of the eighteen machines run for the complete 100 hours . Calculate MTBF .
Total Running Time for the machines is 18 ( 100 ) + 60 + 70 = 1930 hours Total Number of Failures = 2 So MTBF = 1930 / 2 = 965 hours
Example
For the same example what would be the reliability of the machine at a)500 hours b)900 hours
= 0.596 or 60 % = 0.394 or 40 %
Example
For the same example suppose there is a component that helps the machine revert to a reliability of 100 % , when should it be replaced so that the machine performance does not slip below 90 % Reliability R(t) = e-lT where R(t) = 0.9 So , substituting 0.9 = e -0.0010362(T) Solving by transposing , T = 109.2 hours (101.3)
Availability
Availability is the proportion of time the equipment is actually available to perform work out of the time it should be available to perform work Taking into account MTBF and MTTR The total time of running of a machine in a given period of time is MTTR + MTBF Time it is available is MTBF So Availability ( A ) = MTBF / ( MTBF + MTTR )
MTTR
MTBF
Availability
Availability can also be given as A = Actual Running Time / Planned Running Time where Planned Running Time = Total Plant Time Planned Downtime Actual Running Time = Planned Running Time All other Downtime
Availability
Planned Downtime includes Meals Rest Breaks Scheduled Preventive Maintenance All other Downtime includes Setup Time Equipment Breakdown Unavailability of Material
Example
A plant working in 2 shifts of 8 hours each has 2 hours of planned downtime per shift . On an average it has been observed that 110 minutes are consumed for set up of the machine and 75 minutes for breakdown / malfunction . Calculate availability Planned Running Time = 16 2(2) hours = 12 hours = 720 minutes Actual Running Time = 720 110 75 = 535 minutes A = 535 / 720 = 0.7431 = 74 %
Efficiency
Efficiency is a measure of how well an equipment performs when its running . There are two components of efficiency Rate Efficiency Speed Efficiency Rate Efficiency = Actual Production Volume x Actual Cycle Time / Actual Running Time
Example
If in 535 minutes it has been observed that 830 units have been produced but the actual cycle time for each unit is 0.6 what is the rate efficiency of the equipment ? Rate Efficiency = Actual Production Volume x Actual Cycle Time / Actual Running time = 830 x 0.6 / 535 = 498 / 535 = 0.9308 = 93 %
Efficiency
Speed Efficiency The Ratio of Designed Cycle Time to Actual Cycle Time is called as Speed Efficiency of the Equipment Speed Efficiency = Designed Cycle Time / Actual Cycle Time Example If designed cycle time is 0.5 per unit for previous example Speed Efficiency = 0.5 / 0.6 = 0.833 = 83%
Efficiency
Performance Efficiency Performance Efficiency = RE x SE = 0.9308 x 0.8333 = 0.7756 = 77 %
Yield
Yield is also termed as Quality Rate and is expressed as a ratio of Good Units Produced / Total Units Produced Example If the equipment under consideration produces 800 good units out of 830 units , Yield is given as 800 / 830 = 0.9639 = 96 %

What is Waste
Waste is defined as any human activity which absorbs resources but creates no value
Mistakes which require rectification Production of unwanted items resulting in inventory pile up Unnecessary Processing Purposeless Movement of employees and transport of goods from one place to another Idle time ( People Waiting for material / work ) Goods and services which do not meet the needs of customer
Types of Waste
Waste Waste Waste Waste Waste Waste Waste Waste Waste Waste Waste Waste Waste Waste of Over production of Unnecessary Inventory of Defects of Unnecessary Motions of Inappropriate Processing of Waiting of Transporting of Untapped Human Potential of Inappropriate Systems of Natural Resources of Material in the Office of Customer time of Defecting Customers
1. Waste of Overproduction
Produced to compensate loss in production due to absenteeism, equipment break down, higher rejection rate, inconsistency in operation Instead of eliminating the root causes companies produce more than what is required
2. Waste of Inventory
More than the required stock of finished product, work-in process and raw materials that do not add any value Increased requirement of transportation, storage and handling costs are outcomes Scrapping due to limited shelf life or obsolete designs / products
3. Waste of Defects
Interruption of production and expensive rework Scrapping of Rejects Damaged tools , jigs and fixtures
4. Waste of Motion
Any motion of a persons body not directly related to adding value Lifting or carrying heavy loads
5. Waste of Processing
6. Waste of Waiting
Operators work put on hold because of line imbalances, lack of parts, or machine downtime or operator monitoring the machine when machine is adding value to the job
7. Waste of Transport
Transport is an essential part of operations, but moving materials and products add no value Any process physically distant from main line adds waste of transport Use of modern material handling concepts could be a solution
The purpose of efficient system is to create thinking people Not using creative brain power of employees, not listening, thinking that only managers have idea worth pursuing
checking,
electricity, gas, oil, coal and so on Energy & water are not only the significant sources of cost , but there is moral and social responsibility to preserve them for future generations
To reduce the wastage of materials a Life Cycle Cost approach is needed. Material conservation to be incorporated during design, manufacturing, consumer usage and beyond use in recovery
A waste that is causing concern to service managers and marketing professionals is the loss of existing customers It costs five times more to acquire a new customer as it does to retain the existing one
Mistake proofing Mistake proofing is a scientific technique for improvement of operating systems including materials, machines and methods with an aim of preventing problems due to human error. The term error means a sporadic deviation from standard procedures resulting from loss of memory, perception or motion.
Defect Vs errors
It is important to understand that defects and errors are not the same thing. A defect is the result of an error, or an error is the cause of defects as explained below. Cause Error Result Defect
Prevention of defects
End result
Work Procedure
Detect error
zero defect
Types of Error
Error in memory of PLAN : Error of forgetting the sequence/ contents operations required or restricted in standard procedures.
Error in memory of EXECUTION : Errors of forgetting the sequence/contents of operations having been finished.
Error in PERCEPTION of type : Error of selecting the wrong object in type or quantity. Error in perception of MOVEMENT : Error of misunderstanding/misjudging the shape, position, direction or other characteristics of the objects. Error in motion of objects. HOLDING : Error in failing to hold
Error in motion of CHANGING : Errors of failing to change the shape , position , direction , or other characteristics of object according to the standard.
Complex design Inadequately written standards Too many parts Mix up Too many steps Specifications or critical conditions Too many adjustments Frequent repetition
Finger print ID lock is an excellent example of mistake proofing. There's no need to fumble for your keys in the dark any more. The Fingerprint ID Door Lock is a cylindrical lock combined with a security bolt that will let you into the house using just your finger. It reads your unique fingerprint and only allows entry to prints it recognises.
Gas pumps are equipped with hose couplings that break away and quickly shutoff the flow of petrol.
Automobiles controls have a mistake proofing device to ensure that the key in the on position before allowing the driver to shift out of park ( for automatic gears ).The keys can not be removed until the car is in park.
3.5 inch diskette can not be inserted unless diskette is oriented correctly.This is as far as diskette can be inserted upside-down. The beveled corner of the diskette pushes a stop in the disk drive out of the way allowing diskette to be inserted.This feature,along with the fact that the diskette is not square,prohibit incorrect orientation.
Electronic car locks can have three mistake proofing devices: Ensures that no door is left unlocked. Door automatically locks when car exceeds a predetermined speed Lock wont operate when door is open and engine is running.
New lawn mowers are required to have a safety bar on the handle that must be pulled back in order to start the engine.If you let go of the safety bar,the mowers blade stops in 3 seconds or less.This is an adaptation of thedead man switch from railroad locomotives.
