1 Enterprise Business Processes and Applications (IS 6006) Masters in Business Information Systems 4 th Nov 2008 Fergal Carton Business Information Systems

2 Last week MRP principles –BOM crystallises connection between supply and demand –Build process takes account of space, yield, time, cost, labour, equipment … –Outsource or not for sub-components, influence on BOM –Lead time for customer and commit time for production –MRP reduces buffer stocks Look up examples of Bills of Materials What is so difficult about connecting supply and demand? –Why can’t actual demand be forecasted? –Dell, Aer Lingus, Glaxo SmithKline –Fiat car design : 18 months because of sub-contracting parts Work orders / process orders allow inventory to be consumed –Mirror image of the sales order –Drives customer demand through to batches in the production process Additional Reading –Look at paper titles for relevance to this course (eg. Supply Chain) –We focus on reality of using integrated systems and issues arising

3 This week BOM example iPhone Process orders / work orders ERP modules (Sales, Finance, Logistics, Procurement, Manufacturing) ERP is single instance Production planning: assignment practice

4 What is a Bill of Materials? Links demand and supply Sales require a customer oriented language to describe functionality –See example for iPhone Manufacturing need a supplier oriented language to describe Bill of Materials

5 Model names (sales)

6 Model numbers (manufacturing)

7 Other BOM examples? ?

8 Work order / Process order ?

9 Production planning Planning approaches (build to plan) –Top down quarterly plan drives both Production (units) and Sales (€) targets –Takes into account sales forecast, historical performance and market expectations –Production plan must then be broken down into units, configurations, geograpahies –Local production planners then turn this into: an MRP plan to drive purchasing and a Master production schedule to drive manufacturing

10 Manufacturing modes and lead times Difference between process and discrete manufacturing –Process manufacturing consumes inventory at a steady rate, but yield of finished goods may vary –Discrete manufacturing consumes a predefined amount of inventory per article of finished goods Lead times: –key to replenishment policy: what’s my buffer stock? –Fiat Idea : re-uses previous model components to reduce cost & lead time

11 ERP is often single instance Single point of data entry (PO’s, SO’s, …) Inventory control Opportunity to re-design processes Single technical platform (support) Common language, common pool of data SalesShippingCollect cashProduction Customer information (ship-to, bill-to, install-at, …)

19 Apple iPod manufacturing process Sales forecast Build plan for quarter Procurement schedule for raw materials Starts plan by week (Master production Schedule – MPS) Work-in-progress / process control Test, quality control and material purge Adjust build plan / starts plan for actual demand Deliver goods to finished goods area Handover to distribution

20 iPhone Production planning –Read narrative –Draw a process map of the proudction planning process –What are the strengths / weaknesses of the process mapping exercise?

21 Strengths of process mapping Separates physical from virtual flows Flexible Intuitive Fast Facilitates sharing of ideas Helps define roles and responsibilities Highlights potential for automation –Bottlenecks, delays, errors, redundancy, …

22 Weaknesses of process mapping Biased representation? –Difficult to meet all people involved –Dependent on accuracy of information given by participants –Holes in understanding -> poor process –Doesn’t take into account new processes –Interpreted differently –Consistency in analysis when using multiple analysts –Only maps repetitive processes? –What about manual work? Find right level of abstraction Only theoretical? Complexity / overcomplication

23 How will you use the process map? Spot problems Optimise process Tool to explain / educate Map alternatives Draw “how we would like the process to work”
