Introduction• Purpose is to :
– Perform an economic analysis of the assembly layout, including development, manufacturing, transportation and assembly costs.
– Run a discrete event simulation of this assembly line and improve the design should any problem arise.
• Approach for economic analysis was to utilize cost estimates already done in previous reports and complete them with new reasonable estimates in the areas not covered before. Then input the data in the spreadsheet provided and extract results to analyze them.
– Costs are only estimates as no complete information of manufacturing process is available.
– In general costs were estimated assuming this product is inserted in an on-going process of incremental improvements of an architecture already established for previous generations of this product.
– Costs that might be shared by a family of products were estimated that way as this team is aware that this sharpener is actually one of many in its family
• CellSim software used for assembly process discrete time simulations

• Even though the pencil sharpener is a simple product, the analysis performed during this course has shown that this component has an important amount of engineering. That is the reason why we have estimated a rather high cost for engineering labor.

• Cost of injection molds vary widely depending on area of mold base cavity plate (cm2), and combined thickness of cavity and core plates in mold base (cm). See Appendix No 1.We do not have detailed manufacturing information to make a good estimate for this molds. However, for the size and shape of the parts we can infer that there are 5 more complicated molds, costing $9,000 each, and four simpler ones that might cost around $ 4,000, as indicated in the chart in the Appendix mentioned above.
• Injection molding and razor blade manufacturing machinery are assigned costs estimated assuming they also make parts for other products* too and that maybe more than one machine may be run in parallel during full production period. This is because injection molding process might take longer (cooling time) than assembly process, in which our production capacity calculations are based.
*Razor blades are provided by “Exacto” sister division, internal procurement.

• Marketing introduction costs assume that this products share some of the existing marketing facilities of the company.
• Staff hiring and training costs assume the company mainly reallocates staff and does the complete hiring/training process for just a few workers.
• Sale price was estimated based on the retail cost the team paid for the sharpener and then deducting an estimated retailer margin.
• Transportation cost refers to shipment from China to the U.S. Estimate is based on a $5000 cost of a standard shipment container, which can roughly accommodate 50,000 packaged sharpener units.
• This cost is assuming this is a modification of an existing product, not a breakthrough. The cost includes 2 engineers and 1 assistant working for 2 months.

Analysis Results• The project cash flows have an
NPV of $1.285 K, using an annual rate of return of 20%.
• During the 8th month the project recovers its investment. From that period on, every cash flow is positive (not discounted).
• These figures show that the business is quite attractive, however it is important to notice that there are still some relevant costs that are missing , such as cost of capital, depreciation and taxes. Still, we believe that it is worthwhile to continue this analysis using the figures we have estimated so far, in order to arrive to an approximation of what the manufacturer’s (HUNT’s) business is.

Analysis Results (cont.)
• Including cost of capital, we can see that investment recovery takes around one year. Therefore, under these conditions the investment is attractive as long as the the product can be sold beyond month 12 and the volume and price are as estimated.
• Now the question is what is the rate of return that makes NPV=0 (IRR), under this favorable conditions. Raising step by step the rate of return in the spreadsheet we found that this rate is 11.88% a month.
• The team has also thought of the case in which the manufacturer might face powerful retailers and have to lower the price, which we consider a realistic setting. In this case we found that the breakeven price was two dollars per unit.

Final Thoughts on Economic Analysis• When calculating the IRoR including taxes (34%) and depreciation of assets subject to it*,
we found that the results were not as good as without taking into account those two factors but the project still shows quite healthy figures.
• Including taxes and depreciation we obtain IRoR=120.88%, which is close to what we got without these factors (11.88% a month).
• Even though the above described landscape looks very attractive, there are previous investments that are not included for not being relevant cost in which the company has already incurred.
– Architecting and design– Market capture– Brand name– Manufacturing facilities… and others.
• There also exist some long term consequences to consider:– By not “doing” in-house, the company is transferring knowledge that it might not be able to
recover in the future as its absorptive capacity gets affected. We do not have much information in this regard, but HUNT might be outsourcing the whole process, which would be a mistake in the long run.
– Unfortunately, what we know is that this family of pencil sharpeners is completely manufactured in China, thus we suspect the company may be doing the same with more sophisticated products. Then, it runs the risk of becoming dependent for knowledge rather than for capacity.
• All in all, our opinion is that HUNT is doing a very good business with this product but has to be careful with the way it manages the supply chain.
• * We have depreciated all costs related to machinery, tooling, and a portion of its installation. We have not considered the engineering labor included in manufacturing and assembly fixed costs.

Part B: Discrete Time Simulations• CellSim software code used to for discrete time simulations for assembly
process flow#1 and #3, as described in Project Report#3– Assembly Flow#2 comprises a different set of assembly tasks, which would
obfuscate the comparison analysis
• Each model requires approximately 12 “Machines” and 14 “Storage Areas” as defined by the CellSim code
– CellSim “machines” actually correspond to manual workstations
• Individual processes, as enumerated in Part Handling and Insertion Times (see appendix), consolidated to 1 CellSim process/machine
– Incorporating each of the 52 individual processes as listed in the appendix makes the CellSim much too slow to simulation 8 hours of work flow
– Additional process detail adds little to overall simulation insights
• Simulations bypass “run-in” initialize– To determine daily start-up and completion requirements
• Setup times included in process times (batch size = 1)• Did not account for machine down times (repair or maintainence)• Results from the simulation code can be used to:
– Determine most efficient work flows and operating guidelines– Determine minimum acceptable process variations– Establish minimum holding capacities and manufacturing production rates
14
Assembly Flow#1 Description• Model Description
– Assembly Flow#1 implements each of the 52 assembly tasks as defined in the table of Parts Handling and Insertion Times
• As provided in Project Report#5 (see appendix)
– Model based on parallel operations of similar tasks (ie, riveting ops) for non-bottle-neck assemblies
• Features 4 separate workstations, with either 2 or 3 workers per workstation• Work flow and task allocations established to keep throughput times for each
worker sub-station less than 28.85 seconds/unit• Bottleneck operation is identified as SA1b/Sharpener Final Assembly
– SA1b throughput time estimated to be 28.54 sec/unit– Substation SA5a/Gearbox Pre-Assembly is a close second (28.09 sec/unit)
• CellSim model description– Implements Flow#1 model as shown, except for additional output bins to
collect simulation data for units which failed either of the two tests (2% Unit fail rate) or the final inspection (1 % fail rate)
• 13 machines (work stations) and 15 storage areas (part bins)
– Batch size of 1 unit/machine– Capacity of parts bins (inventory size) set to 20 units for each machine
output, except package & ship (final task) set to 2000 units

Mold Cost Estimation*• From a survey of available prefabricated mold bases, it has been shown by Dewhurst and
Kuppurajan that mold base cost is a function of the surface area of the selected mold base plates and the combined thickness of the cavity and core plates. The graph below shows mold base cost plotted against a single parameter based on area and thickness values. The data in the graph can be represented by:
