Process Analysis III The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Outline Set-up times Lot sizes Effects on capacity Effects on process choice Operations -- Prof. Juran 2 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Set-up Times Many processes can be described (at least approximately) in terms of a fixed set-up time and a variable time per unit (a.k.a. cycle time) Capacity of a single activity is a function of lot size, set-up time, and cycle time Overall capacity of a system depends on these factors and the resulting bottlenecks across multiple activities Operations -- Prof. Juran
3 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Example: Kristen In general, a formula for the number of minutes to produce n one-dozen batches is given by this expression: 16 10n Set-up time Cycle time per 1-dozen batch This views the cookie operation as a single activity. We arrived at these numbers through analysis of individual sub-activities at a more detailed level. Operations -- Prof. Juran 4 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Example: Kristen Note that Kristens effective cycle time is 10 minutes per 12 cookies, or 0.8333 minutes per cookie, assuming a lot size of 12 cookies. We can determine the capacity of the system in a specific period of time T by solving for n: 16 10n T
Operations -- Prof. Juran 5 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Example 1 We can determine the capacity of the system in a specific period of time T by solving for n. How many 1-dozen batches could Kristen produce in 4 hours? 16 10n 16 10n 10n n T 240 224 22 one-dozen orders In this situation, the capacity of the system is a linear function of the time available.

Now lets assume the time available is fixed at 240 minutes, and study the effect on capacity that results from changing the set-up time. The capacity of this system (in lots) with an s-minute set-up is: 240/(s + 0.8333 * 12) (a nonlinear function of the set-up time) Operations -- Prof. Juran 13 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Capacity = f (Set-up Time) 30 Capacity (Lots) 25 20 15 10 5 0

the effect on capacity that results from changing the lot size. The capacity of this system (in cookies) with an s-minute set-up is: 240/(16 + 0.8333 * Q) (another nonlinear function) Operations -- Prof. Juran 18 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Extreme Case 1: 240/16 = 15 gives an upper bound to the number of lots; in that case we would use up all of our time setting up, and never make any cookies. Extreme Case 2: If we assume only one set-up, then the capacity is 240 - 16/0.8333 = 268.8 cookies The largest lot that can be completed in 240 minutes is 268. Extreme Case 3: If we assume no set-up, then the capacity is 240/0.8333 = 288 cookies The largest lot that can be completed in 240 minutes is 288. Operations -- Prof. Juran 19

It might be on the quiz Needed for cases like Kristen Drives major decisions regarding operations strategy, technology choice, process design, and capital investment Operations -- Prof. Juran
25 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Process Choice Sometimes we get to choose among several possible technologies One important factor is capacity: Which technology can meet demand fastest? This may depend on lot size Similar to make-vs-buy decisions Operations -- Prof. Juran 26 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Operations -- Prof. Juran The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Example: Make vs. Buy Colarusso Confectioners needs to fill an order for 500 sfogliatelle (a famous Italian pastry) for one of their clients. Colarusso has the in-house capability to produce sfogliatelle, but this is an unusually large order for them and they are considering whether to outsource the job to Tumminelli Industries, Inc. (a
regional pastry supplier with equipment designed for greater volume). The customer service rep from Tumminelli quotes a rate for sfogliatelle as follows: a fixed order cost of $135 plus $0.25 per sfogliatella. Colarussos inhouse costs are $75.00 to set up production and $0.39 per unit. Operations -- Prof. Juran The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., What should Colarusso do with this order for 500 svogliatelle? A B C D 1 Colarusso Tumminelli 2 Set-up cost $ 75.00 $ 135.00 3 Per unit $ 0.39 $ 0.25 4 5 500 $ 270.00 $ 260.00 6 =B$2+$A5*B$3 =C$2+$A5*C$3 7
The total cost of the order will be lower if Colarusso outsources this job to Tumminelli. Operations -- Prof. Juran The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Obviously Colarusso has an advantage for small lot sizes, and Tumminelli has an advantage for large lot sizes. What is the break-even point?
