Week 6 - Discussion 2

Describe the types of waste a lean management approach would try to eliminate?

Give an Abstract, Introductions, and overview of  the  “Implementation of lean principles in Warehouse Operations: A Case Study in Liberia Health Ministry“

A supplier provides parts to a manufacturing company that demands frequent deliveries. At the present time it takes six hours to make a round trip between the supplier’s warehouse and the customer, including loading, travel, and unloading time. The lot size is 12 pallet loads on a truck, and the manufacturer uses 2 pallets per hour.a. How many trucks are needed to ship the pallets to the manufacturer?b. What is likely to happen if the truck breaks down?c. How can the supplier ensure that the customer does not run out of parts even in the face of delivery problems or other uncertainties?d. What will happen to the supplier if the manufacturer runs into trouble and shuts down for a period of six hours?

List the pressures that lean systems pose for supply chains,whether in the form of process failures due to inventoryshortages or labor stoppages, and so forth. Reflect on howthese pressures may apply to a firm that is actually imple-menting lean philosophy in their operations

Carol Cagle has a repetitive manufacturing plant pro-ducing trailer hitches in Arlington, Texas. The plant has an average inventory turnover of only 12 times per year. She has therefore deter-mined that she will reduce her component lot sizes. She has devel-oped the following data for one component, the safety chain clip: Annual demand = 31,200 unitsDaily demand = 120 unitsDaily production (in 8 hours) = 960 unitsDesired lot size (1 hour of production) = 120 unitsHolding cost per unit per year = $12Setup labor cost per hour = $20 How many minutes of setup time should she have her plant man-ager aim for regarding this component?

answer

In a Lean approach to supply chains, product (material) in storage is considered Waste. True False

Carol Cagle has a repetitive manufacturing plant producing trailer hitches in Arlington, Texas. The plant has an average inventory turnover of only 12 times per year. He has therefore determined that he will reduce his component lot sizes. He has developed the following data for one component, the safety chain clip: Setup labor cost Annual holding cost $30 per hour $13 per unit 960 units/8 hour day 36,000 (250 days each x daily demand of 144 units) Daily production Annual demand Desired lot size 120 units (one hour of production) To obtain the desired lot size, the set-up time that should be achieved = ☐ minutes (round your response to two decimal places).

Discuss how the transition from a traditional operational environment to a lean system will be accomplished for the following purposes: A company that provides services?

Industry 4.0's technologies are improving the implementation of Lean principles, depending on their capability levels , how will be the future technology trend in Inventory and Warehouse Management?

Meritor is so pleased with the outcome from previous suggestions that the consultants are invited back for more work. The consultants now suggest a more complete robotic automation of the making of muffler assemblies and also a reduction in container size to eight per container. Meritor implements these suggestions and the result is that the muffler assembly fabrication cell now averages approximately 32 assemblies per hour, and the catalytic converter assembly cell can now respond to an order for a batch of catalytic converters in one hour. The safety stock remains at 12.5 percent. How many kanban cards are needed? (Answer in Appendix D)

Flores Manufacturing, Inc., is moving to kanbans to support its electronic-board assembly lines. Determine the size of the kanban for subassemblies and the number of kanbans needed. Setup cost Annual holding cost subassembly Daily production Annual usage Lead time Safety stock $23 $200 per subassembly 550 subassemblies 50,000 (= 50 weeks x 5 days each x daily usage of 200 subassemblies) 3 days 1 day's production of subassemblies The kanban size is (round your response to the nearest whole number). The number of kanbans is (round your response to the nearest whole number).
