Download or read book Lean MRP written by David Altemir and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-27 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lean MRP explains how to establish ERP production scheduling that is stable and effective. The fundamental roles of the production schedule for driving shop floor work, predicting manufacturing completions, and evaluating factory capacity are examined. With effective ERP production scheduling in place, an opportunity is created to implement a Lean manufacturing pull system on the shop floor that mimics the behavior of traditional kanbans. This essentially establishes a self-regulating traffic control system that will reduce congestion and travel times for materials and products in a factory. This is not the usual "yada-yada". The concept of Lean MRP is a novel one, which holds the promise of transformational change particularly in job shop environments. In addition to attaining the on-time performance, inventory, and lead time benefits of a pull system, Lean MRP can also help improve the accuracy of forward-looking schedule projections to support the making of reliable promises to the customer.This book is for those manufacturing managers who have always strived for a Lean operation but nevertheless feel that a computerized ERP system offers a more practical and scalable solution for managing a large, complex, and/or turbulent shop floor. Manufacturers in high mix industries such as contract manufacturing, aerospace, or industrial equipment can particularly benefit from this novel and innovative approach. For them, the prospects of Lean MRP offer an exciting opportunity to positively and comprehensively transform the whole of their operation as opposed to accepting isolated islands of Lean improvement that only skirt the periphery of the scheduling, on-time performance, inventory, and lead time challenges they face.

Download or read book Beyond Manufacturing Resource Planning MRP II written by Andreas Drexl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The logic of Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) is im plemented in most commercial production planning software tools and is commonly accepted by practitioners. However, these peo ple are not satisfied with production planning and complain about long lead times, high work-in-process, and backlogging. As many researchers have pointed out, the reason for these shortcomings is inherent to the methods that are used. The research community is thus eager to find more sophisticated approaches. This book is an attempt to compile some state-of-the-art work in the field of production planning research. It includes mate rial that somehow dominates the existing MRP II concept. 15 ar ticles written by 36 authors from 10 countries cover many aspects related to MRP II. All papers went through a single-blind refere eing process before they were selected for being published in this book. When we received papers for this issue, we discovered that MRP II is a topic about which not only management scientists show interest. As the list of authors proves, industrial engineers, computer scientists, and-operations researchers from academia as well as practitioners have contributed to this book. This, we hope, makes the book of value for a broad audience. We thank all authors who submitted papers. And, we are in debted to Dr. Werner Muller from Springer for his support in this book project.

Download or read book Customer Satisfaction Planning written by Thomas T. Hirata and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-10-15 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focus on Customer Satisfaction for Increased Profit Statistics show that a single satisfied customer can bring a company two new ones but one unsatisfied client can cost it four. With this principle in mind, Customer Satisfaction Planning: Ensuring Product Quality and Safety within Your MRP/ERP Systems presents a progressive, cost-cutting efficiency system that builds on material requirement planning (MRP) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) to facilitate improved customer satisfaction. The book illustrates how shifting the focus from inventory replenishment to customer service results in a better product, received exactly on time, and with actual cost. Such a change is bound to make the company grow, benefiting its employees and suppliers, as well as the surrounding community. Overhaul an Outmoded System Lack of discipline, human error, and part failures are all common to the inventory-focused MRP/ERP systems that many companies still use to plan production and keep track of materials. But these methods are based on antiquated principles and technology from the 1970s—several computer lifetimes ago. The author explains why his novel system will change the face of modern business management and details an implementation plan. He also documents the adjustments in logic and strategy through which companies can make major advances in inventory management and product assurance. For instance, in terms of manufacturing, customer satisfaction planning (CSP) improves the process by linking component orders to the parent order so a valid trail exists in the event of a recall. Developed on the basis that collecting and tracking information is considerably easier and less expensive than ever before, CSP calls for changes in receiving, inventory tracking, product management and assurance, kitting, and costing processes. These adjustments —and their resulting focus on the product and customer—make CSP the next logical step in business evolution.
Download or read book Implementing an Information Strategy in Manufacture written by Jack Hollingum and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grew out of the belief that, although the potential of CIM is widely recognised, there is little understanding and great nervousness concerning the practical matter of its implementation. Are you confident that your company will find the right answers to these questions: • In which areas can CIM most significantly influence the competitive position of your company? • What information is it essential to include within a CIM plan? • How can each phase of your CIM plan be cost justified, and how should it be audited for success? • How should you set priorities for implementing the various phases of a CIM plan? • What is the significance of networking to CIM? Every company investing in CIM faces these questions but too frequently they are left unanswered. Our experience is that the implementation of CIM is primarily a management challenge not a technical one. The greatest challenge is how to make the organisational changes needed to obtain the benefits from CIM. This book is a valuable guide to anyone planning to invest in CIM.
Download or read book Why MRP Is Still Relevant written by Sam Graham and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-05-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a manufacturing ERP implementation disappoints, it most usually does so because the manufacturing modules have been badly implemented. And the manufacturing module that is most frequently badly implemented is the MRP module. Many consultancies do not employ manufacturing specialists and they, at best, deploy all-rounders to implement it. The results are predictably poor. So this book looks at implementing MRP properly; whether as part of a larger ERP system or, indeed, as a stand-alone system with interfaces to other business systems, such as accounting and sales. When companies get MRP right, it makes a real difference to costs, to productivity and to customer satisfaction & retention.
Download or read book Enterprise Resource Planning and Supply Chain Management written by Karl E. Kurbel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about running modern industrial enterprises with the help of information systems. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the core of business information processing. An ERP system is the backbone of most companies' information systems landscape. All major business processes are handled with the help of this system. Supply chain management (SCM) looks beyond the individual company, taking into account that enterprises are increasingly concentrating on their core competencies, leaving other activities to suppliers. With the growing dependency on the partners, effective supply chains have become as important for a company's success as efficient in-house processes. This book covers typical business processes and shows how these processes are implemented. Examples are presented using the leading systems on the market – SAP ERP and SAP SCM. In this way, the reader can understand how business processes are actually carried out "in the real world".
