Intended learning outcomes: Explain decoupling of procurement or production from demand for two examples.
Figure 4.2.3.1 discussed stocking with different inventory control processes for temporal synchronization between supply and demand. Using that kind of process chart, represent decoupling of procurement or production from demand for the two examples discussed with Figure 4.4.5.3, namely:
- Manufacturing throughout the year to meet demand occurring mainly at a holiday time
- Manufacturing in large batches where demand is continuous; delivery can be made from storage
Course section 4.8: Subsections and their intended learning outcomes
4.8 Scenarios and Exercises
Intended learning outcomes: Differentiate between various concepts for planning & control within the company. Using process charts for synchronization between use and manufacturing with inventory control processes. Elaborate a basic process analysis as well as manufacturing processes in the company-internal layout.
4.8.1 Scenario: Concepts for Planning & Control within the Company
Intended learning outcomes: Identify different companies together with their products or product families where different concepts would be adequate for planning & control. Disclose the branch of industry the company is in and the production type(s) the company does implement for these products or product families.
4.8.2 Exercise: Synchronization between Use and Manufacturing with Inventory Control Processes
Intended learning outcomes: Explain decoupling of procurement or production from demand for two examples.
4.8.3 Exercise: Basic Process Analysis (BPA) and Manufacturing Processes in the Company-Internal Layout
Intended learning outcomes: Describe the basic process analysis (BPA) using the example of an aluminum frame. Present in detail the company-internal layout using this example process.
