Intended learning outcomes: Explain how to determine the process plan, the rough-cut process plan, and a possible load profile for an example product P.
Determine the process plan, the rough-cut process plan, and a possible load profile for the following product P. If not specified differently, the operations for each (intermediate) product are the same as in Figure 1.2.3.3. The lead time at every level and for purchasing adds up to 10 time units.
- P is produced from one unit of components A and B.
- A is produced from one unit of component C.
- B is produced from one unit of components X and Y, by the same operations as for producing C.
- C is produced from the components X and Z.
- X, Y, and Z are purchased components.
Apply the technique presented in Section 1.2.5, using the same rules as shown in the example but assuming that components C and B form the single item family B.
Solution a): Process plan:
Solution b): Rough-cut process plan:
Solution c): Possible product load profile:
Course section 1.7: Subsections and their intended learning outcomes
1.7 Scenarios and Exercises
Intended learning outcomes: Describe improvements in meeting entrepreneurial objectives. Differentiate between entrepreneurial objectives and the ROI. Assessing the Economic Value Added (EVA) of Supply Chain Initiatives. Derive rough-cut business objects from detailed business objects.
1.7.1 Exercise: Improvements in Meeting Entrepreneurial Objectives
Intended learning outcomes: Identify several problems with regard to the entrepreneurial objectives for an example company that manufactures a single product. Disclose and discuss possible measures in each of the four target areas (quality, costs, delivery, and flexibility).
1.7.2 Scenario: Entrepreneurial Objectives and ROI
Intended learning outcomes: Explain, using examples, how to determine exactly whether the increase in revenue will be cancelled out by the increased costs for improvement measures in the four target areas (quality, costs, delivery, and flexibility).
1.7.3 Scenario: Assessing the Economic Value Added (EVA) of Supply Chain Initiatives: The Supply Chain Value Contribution (SCVC)
Intended learning outcomes: Describe the supply chain value contribution (SCVC). Explain selected supply chain events and their relationship to current assets.
1.7.3b Scenario: An Example Representation of the Economic Value Added (EVA) of a Supply Chain Initiative
Intended learning outcomes: Explain an example representation of the value of a supply chain initiative (SCI) in the form of the Economic value added (EVA).
1.7.4 Exercise: Rough-Cut Business Objects
Intended learning outcomes: Explain how to determine the process plan, the rough-cut process plan, and a possible load profile for an example product P.
