    you are faced with some of these

    significant setup or changeover and

    unlike labor resources cannot easily be

    added added to the production line
  • 00:01:31
    certain jobs may only be allowed to run
  • 00:01:34
    on certain equipment or need routine
  • 00:01:36
    maintenance or go down tooling molds and
  • 00:01:39
    dyes can add to the complexity of

    scheduling equipment and labor may be a

    constraint based on certain skill levels
  • 00:01:48
    or you may want to plan future
  • 00:01:50
    requirements for long-term Staffing
  • 00:01:53
    considerations in a traditional MRP and
  • 00:01:55
    scheduling environment material
  • 00:01:57
    requirements are resolved by MRP
  • 00:02:00
    and capacity requirements are handled by
  • 00:02:02
    the scheduling system with this
  • 00:02:05
    two-phased approach the production
  • 00:02:07
    schedule can get out of phase with the
  • 00:02:09
    material requirements for example a job
  • 00:02:12
    can get released to the shop floor only
  • 00:02:14
    to find out there is a raw material
  • 00:02:16
    shortage or job gets moved on the
  • 00:02:18
    schedule but the preceding jobs do not
  • 00:02:20
    get rescheduled accordingly creating a
  • 00:02:22
    material shortage of excess work and
  • 00:02:27
    process let's look at a relatively
  • 00:02:29
    simple process process in this example
  • 00:02:31
    our routing calls for a saw paint and
  • 00:02:34
    assembly operation each operation
  • 00:02:37
    requires one or more resources we have
  • 00:02:40
    two saws however one can only handle
  • 00:02:43
    wood up to a certain thickness the other
  • 00:02:45
    saw is capable of handling any size for
  • 00:02:49
    certain jobs a special saw blade is
  • 00:02:51
    required the paint booth requires
  • 00:02:54
    laborers with certain skills and there
  • 00:02:56
    is significant setup when the paint
  • 00:02:58
    color changes from dark darker to
  • 00:03:00
    lighter color the last operation is the
  • 00:03:03
    assembly process we only need to know
  • 00:03:06
    that three people are on the assembly
  • 00:03:08
    line to make sure we have enough people
  • 00:03:09
    to work
  • 00:03:12
    today our small scenario seems simple
  • 00:03:15
    enough except for the fact that
  • 00:03:16
    different departments can have
  • 00:03:18
    conflicting goals and management
  • 00:03:20
    typically has multiple objectives that
  • 00:03:22
    need to be met maximizing profit may be
  • 00:03:25
    a difficult goal to meet when orders are
  • 00:03:27
    late the planner is going to expedite
  • 00:03:29
    the job work overtime or do whatever it
  • 00:03:32
    takes and cannot necessarily see the
  • 00:03:35
    impact on profit
  • 00:03:38
    objectives how difficult can it be to
  • 00:03:41
    manage the SK planning and scheduling
  • 00:03:42
    activities involved in building a
  • 00:03:44
    birdhouse well let's find out our
  • 00:03:47
    finished product consists of a bird
  • 00:03:49
    house and a bird feeder there are two
  • 00:03:51
    lines one for the house and one for the
  • 00:03:53
    feeder the process is identical for each
  • 00:03:56
    with the exception that the house can
  • 00:03:58
    only use saw number one the feeder could
  • 00:04:02
    actually go on to either saw number one
  • 00:04:04
    or saw number
  • 00:04:08
    two four orders come in and the jobs are
  • 00:04:12
    scheduled according to the order due
  • 00:04:17
    date one week later and we are in real
  • 00:04:20
    trouble one of the orders is already
  • 00:04:22
    late the red bird feeder is sitting in
  • 00:04:25
    the final assembly area however there is
  • 00:04:27
    no red bird house as we work our way
  • 00:04:30
    back we start to see all sorts of
  • 00:04:32
    inefficiencies and bottlenecks remember
  • 00:04:34
    our paint booth requires significant
  • 00:04:36
    setup time when we switch from dark to
  • 00:04:38
    light color paint but the planner failed
  • 00:04:41
    to take the color into consideration
  • 00:04:43
    when scheduling jobs four six and seven
  • 00:04:48
    there are three jobs lined up on sander
  • 00:04:50
    number one while the second sander
  • 00:04:52
    stands
  • 00:04:53
    idle finally to make our day saw number
  • 00:04:57
    two goes down
  • 00:05:00
    now let's see what happens when we
  • 00:05:02
    optimize our schedule to reflect all of
  • 00:05:05
    the objectives we have of minimizing
  • 00:05:07
    setup maximizing profit and meeting
  • 00:05:10
    ontime deliveries the bird feeder job
  • 00:05:14
    number two gets moved to saw number one
  • 00:05:17
    when saw number two goes down jobs three
  • 00:05:20
    and five are offloaded to sander number
  • 00:05:22
    two to eliminate the bottleneck on sard
  • 00:05:25
    number one and finally job six is moved
  • 00:05:29
    up to eliminate setup time the end
  • 00:05:31
    result is lower costs and higher profits
  • 00:05:34
    making sure that none of the other jobs
  • 00:05:36
    are
