Problem Statement: How Meagel Stelplast can improve and expand its manufacturing operation.
Overview: Meagel Stelplast manufactures automobile horns for replacement market. The Replacement market has uneven demand for horns. It manufactures good quality horns but the productivity, when compare to its competitor of similar size, is less.
MSL is aspiring to become a supplier of horns to the original equipment manufacturers to assure steady cash flow through steady flow of orders. Current State:
Wages: Fixed Salary to 6 employees
Pay per piece manufactured to 6 employees
Average Raw material Inventory 3000 units
Raw material Reorder point (Quantity) 500 units
Plant Operations 26 days, 9 hours
Breaks Lunch 30 min, Tea Break 10 min (2 times)
Workers 6 Fixed Payment, 6 (Variable payment)
Product Variety Top 2 products sells 80%
Supply Chain MTO Horns are functional products and supply chain should be efficient.
Threats/ Challenges:
1. Employee retention “Recent MNREGA scheme” incentivises rural worker which makes difficult to retain current employees.
3. Competitors “Many unorganised SME’s and Chinese import”
4. Fluctuating raw material “Copper and Tungsten fluctuated widely”
5. Manual Process “maintenance of orders, invoice and BOM consumer lot of time”
Desired State:
MSL wanted to become a preferred supplier to the original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s) to assure steady cash flow through steady flow of orders.
