4.4 Characteristic Features Relevant to Planning & Control in Supply Chains
Intended learning outcomes: Produce an overview on principle and validity of characteristics in planning & control. Explain six features in reference to customer, and item or product or product family, five features in reference to logistics and production resources, as well as seven features in reference to the production or procurement order. Describe important relationships between characteristic features of transcorporate logistics in supply chains.
4.4.1 Principle and Validity of Characteristics in Planning & Control
Intended learning outcomes: Describe the characteristic in planning & control in a supply chain. Explain the use of the results of the analysis.
4.4.2 Six Features in Reference to Customer, and Item or Product or Product Family
Intended learning outcomes: Present important features and possible values referring to the user and the product or product family. Differentiate between a convergent product structure and a divergent product structure. Disclose the VA analysis within the VAT analysis. Differentiate between continuous demand and discontinuous demand. Explain the product variety concept. Describe unit cost and transportability of an item. Disclose the T analysis within the VAT analysis and its relation to…
4.4.3 Five Features in Reference to Logistics and Production Resources
Intended learning outcomes: Present important features and their possible values in reference to logistics and production resources. Explain the production environment: make-to-stock, assemble-to-order, make-to-order, and engineer-to-order. Describe fixed-position manufacturing, job shop production, as well as single-item-oriented, high-volume and continuous line production. Differentiate between flexible capability of capacity and (quantitatively) flexible capacity.
4.4.4 Seven Features in Reference to the Production or Procurement Order
Intended learning outcomes: Present important features and possible values in reference to production or procurement order. Differentiate between order release according to demand, prediction, and consumption. Differentiate between production (or procurement) without, with infrequent, and with frequent order repetition. Identify the features flexibility of the order due date and type of long-term order. Explain the concepts of lot size, lot traceability, and loops in the order structure.
4.4.5 Important Relationships between Characteristic Features
Intended learning outcomes: Identify links among the features facility layout, orientation of product structure, and (order) batch size. Disclose links among the features product variety concept, production environment, and frequency of order repetition. Explain why the features frequency of customer demand and frequency of order repetition do not necessarily need to correspond.
4.4.6 Features of Transcorporate Logistics in Supply Chains
Intended learning outcomes: Present important features, possible values, and increasing complexity of supply chain collaboration, of supply chain coordination, and of the configuration of the supply chain.
The animation shows the three group of features presented in Sections 4.4.2, 4.4.3, and 4.4.4.
