Case Study Production Planning

7. Production Planning (Bonus Portion)

7.1 Work Centers

The following work centers are available.
 
SMBRAKE Street Motorcycle Brake Assembly
MCBRAKE Motorcross Motorcycle Brake Assembly
SMASSM Street Motorcycle Assembly
MCASSM Motorcross Motorcycle Assembly
EXTSUB External Sub Contracting

These workcenters are assigned to cost centers and activity types as defined by controlling and production management. The quantity of resources in the workcenter must match the quantities budgeted in controlling.

7.2 Capacity

Assume all work centers are not hierarchically structured and have the following capacity.

  • Start time 8:00 a.m.
  • Stop time 6:00 p.m.
  • One hour break time at lunch.
  • Effectively at 80%.
At each work center labor capacity is to be evaluated. The available capacity should be adapted after a planning run with capacity evaluation. Discuss possible bottlenecks and discuss methods to solve the problem.

7.3 Routings

7.3.1 Routings for the brake assembly

  • Assemble front brake.
  • Assemble rear brake
  • Quality inspection.

  • Quality inspection.
7.4 Bills of  Material

7.4.1 Bill of Material of motocross motorcycle

7.4.4 BILL OF MATERIAL STREET MOTORCYCLE

7.5 Materials Requirements Planning

Master production schedule / materials requirements planning needs to be carried out for the creation of dependent requirements & planned orders. The planned orders need to be converted to production orders on all levels of the assembly.

7.6 Production Orders

The production orders should make use of the bills of material & routings. The assignment of materials to the operational steps is maintained in the routings. Component availability checking should include production orders and purchase orders at the time of the creation and only on-hand available stock at the time of the release of the production orders. Confirmation of the last operation in the routing should trigger a goods movement to inventory. If the automatic goods movement ever fails a rework goods movement should be processed.

7.7 Capacity Planning

The capacity planning is used to identify bottlenecks in available production capacity. In the case that these exist, pre-production is increased in the month of least demand. If this is not sufficient, the earliest date available to promise is determined.
