is based on balanced capacity and a defective part can shut down an entire JIT system (Jacobs & Chase‚ 2011‚ p. 695). A synchronous manufacturing system has excess capacity throughout the system‚ except for at the bottleneck and if a bad part is produced upstream of the bottleneck‚ only that part is lost (Jacobs & Chase‚ 2011‚ p. 695). I believe an MRP system would be suitable for the production of simple parts or assemblies as long as the cost of rejected parts is not too high. This really

1. Introduction 1.1 Objective: The main purpose of the study was to compare the theoretical knowledge with practical scenario. It was to help us to understand the basics of Operational design and process analysis as well as apply those concepts in reality. To gather a more hands-on experience‚ we conducted process analysis on the process followed by Citibank‚ N.A. to provide pay link service to its customers. 1.2 Goal of the Project: The goal of this project was to analyze the efficiency of

1.0 Introduction Eastern gear Inc. is a manufacturer of custom made gears ranging in weight from a few ounces to over 50 pounds. The gears are made of different metals depending on the customer’s requirements. Eastern gear sells its products primarily to engineering research and development laboratories or very small manufacturers. The president of Eastern Gear decided to accept a few larger orders for 100 gears or more. Although lower prices were accepted on these orders‚ they helped pay the

SoCal Study Group Beach Bods Theme 4 Step 1 – Identify the BOTTLE NECK – in this case‚ the 2nd reactor (Fluidized Bed) was the bottleneck at the 4th step of the 7step process. The 2nd reactor is limited to 400 tons per cycle and each cycle takes 4 hours to complete. Since this is a continuous process system‚ it is important to ensure the 2nd reactor is always full as it has limited capacity. From there‚ we worked backwards through the previous three steps to arrive at the initial tons

Case Summary Circuit Board Fabricators‚ Inc. is a small manufacturer of circuit boards located in California. (Chase‚ Jacobs‚ and Aquilano‚ 2004) Large computer companies such as Apple and Hewlett-Packard hire Circuit Board Fabricators to "make boards for prototypes of new products." (Chase‚ et al.‚ 2004) The case study suggests that Circuit Board Fabricators has a good business plan established within the organization. CBF has implemented a largely automated process using industry standard
