POM3ASSIGNMENT
Q.1) What is “Operations Management”? What are the objectives of OperationsManagement? Enlist key elements of Operations Management.
Answer.1)
An operation may be defined “as the process of changing inputs into outputsthereby adding value to some entity”.Right quality, right quantity, right timeand right price are the four basic requirements of the customers and assuch they determine the extent of customer satisfaction. And if these can beprovided at a minimum cost, then the value of goods produced or servicesrendered increases. Thus the objectives of production management are “toproduce goods and services of the right quality, in the right quantities,according to the time schedule and a minimum cost”.
Objectives of production management may be amplified as under:
• Producing the right kind of goods and services that satisfy customers’needs (effectiveness objective).
• Maximizing output of goods and services with minimum resource inputs(efficiency objective).
• Ensuring that goods and services produced conform to pre-set qualityspecifications (quality objective).
• Minimizing throughput-time- the time that elapses in the conversionprocess- by reducing delays, waiting time and idle time (lead time objective).
• Maximizing utilization of manpower, machines, etc. (Capacity utilizationobjective).
• Minimizing cost of producing goods or rendering a service (Costobjective).
Key elements of Operations Management
1. Product selection and design
The right kind of products and good designs of the products are crucial forthe success of an organizing. A wrong selection of the product and/or poordesign of the products can render the company’s operation ineffective andnon-competitive. Products/services, therefore, must be chosen after detailedevaluation of the product/services alternatives in conformity with theorganization’s objectives. Techniques like value engineering may be employed increating alternate designs, which are free from unnecessary features and meetthe intended functions at the lowest cost.
2. Process selection and planning
Page 1
POM3
Selection of the optimal “conversion system” is as important as choice ofproducts/services and their design. Process selection decisions includedecisions concerning choice of technology, Equipment, machines, materialhandling systems, mechanization and automation. Process planning involvesdetailing of processes if resource conversion required and their sequence.
3 Facilities (Plant) location
Plant location decisions are strategic decisions and once plant is set up at alocation, it is comparatively immobile and can be shifted later only at aconsiderable cost and interruption of production. Although problem of locationchoice does not fall within preview the production function and it occursinfrequently, yet it is of crucial importance because of its major effect on theperformance of every department including production. Therefore, it isimportant to choose the right location, which will minimize total “deliveredcustomer” cost (Production and distribution cost). Locational decisions involveevaluation of locational alternatives against multiplicity of relevant factorsconsidering their relative importance to the organization and selecting those,which are operationally advantageous to the organization.
4. Facilities (Plant) layout and materials handling
Plant layout is concerned with relative location of one department (Workcentre) with another in order to facilitate material flow and processing of aproduct in the most efficient manner through the shortest possible time. Agood layout reduces material handling cost, eliminates delays and congestion,improves co-ordination, provide good housekeeping etc. while a poor layoutresults in congestion, waste, frustration, inefficiency and loss of profit.
5. Capacity Planning
Capacity planning concerns determination and acquisition of productiveresource to ensure that their availability matches the demand. Capacitydecisions have a directInfluence on performance of production system in respect of both resourceproductivity and customer service (i.e. delivery performance). Excess capacityresults in low resource productivity while inadequate capacity leads to poorcustomer service. Capacity planning decisions can be short-term decisions.Long-term capacity planning decisions concern expansion/contraction of majorfacilities required in the conversion process, economics of multiple shiftoperation, development of vendors for major components etc. Short termcapacity planning decisions concern issues like overtime working,sub-contracting, shift adjustments etc. Break even analysis is a valuable toolfor capacity planning.
6. Production Planning and Control (PPC)
Production planning is the system for specifying the production procedure toobtain the desired output in a given time at optimum cost in conformance withspecified standard of quality, and control is essential to ensure that
Page 2
POM3manufacturing takes place in the manner stated in the plan.
7. Inventory control
Inventory control deals with determination of optimal inventory levels of rawmaterials, components, parts, tools; finished goods, spares and supplies toensure their availability with minimum capital lock up. Material requirementplanning (MRP) and just-in-Time (JIT) are the latest techniques that can helpthe firm to reduce inventory.
8. Quality assurance and control
Quality is an important aspect of production system and it must ensure thatservices and products produced by the company conform to the declaredquality standards at the minimum cost A total quality assurance systemincludes such aspects as setting standards of quality, inspection of purchasedand sub-contracted parts, control of quality during manufacture and inspectionof finished product including performance testing etc.
9. Work study and job design
Work-study, also called time and motion study, is concerned with improvementof productivity in the existing jobs and the maximization of productivity in thedesign of new jobs. Two principal component of work-study are:
(i) Method study(ii) Work measurement
Method study has been defined (BS 3138) as the systematic recording andcritical examination of the existing and proposed ways of doing work, as ameans of developing and applying easier and more effective methods andreducing costs. Method study when applied to production methods yields one ormore of the following benefits:
• Improved work environment• Improved facility layout• Better utilization of facilities• Greater safety• Lesser materials handling• Smooth production flow• Lower work-in-process• Higher earnings for the workmen
10. Maintenance and replacement
Maintenance and replacement involve selection of optimal maintenancePreventive and/or breakdown) policy to ensure higher equipment availability atminimum maintenance and repair cost. Preventive maintenance, which includes
Page 3
POM3preventive inspection, planned lubrication, periodic cleaning and upkeep, plannedreplacement of parts, condition monitoring of the equipment and machines, etc.is most appropriate for critical machines.
11. Cost reduction and cost control
Effective production management must ensure minimum cost of production andin this context cost reduction and cost control acquires significant importance.There are large number of tools and techniques available that can help tomake a heavy dent on the production cost.
Q.2) What is batch Production? What are its key characteristics? Compare thesecharacteristics with those of project production.
Answer.2)
Batch production is characterized by the manufacture of a limitednumber of a product (but many such quantities of different products)produced at periodic intervals and stocked in warehouses as finished goods(or finished parts) awaiting sales (or withdrawal for assembly). Typicalexamples of batch production are: process industries such as pharmaceuticals,paints, chemicals; medium and heavy engineering industry engaged in themanufacture of electric motors, switch gears, heavy motor vehicles, internalcombustion engines; manufacture of ready made garments; manufacture ofassembly shops such as machine tools; sub contractors which take on machiningof batches of components to the drawings of a large manufacture etc.
Characteristics of batch production
(a) Short runs:
Short production runs and frequent changes of set also characterizebatch production up. The equipment and the assembly set up is used for alimitednumber of parts or assemblies and is then changed to make a differentproduct. The production is generally made to stock.
(b) Skilled labour in specific trades:The labour force is expected to posses skill in one specific
manufacturing process, Turning, milling, drilling, welding, grinding, hobbing,fitting etc.
The operator may perform simpler machine set-ups but the separate machinetool setter performs those involving complex operations.
(c) Supervision to possess knowledge of a specific processThe supervision has considerable knowledge of a specific process.
Supervisor in the grinding section for example, may not expert in turning anddrilling work but s expected to possess a find of knowledge of different types ofgrinding operations.
Page 4
POM3
Similarly a supervisor in the gear shop is expected to have sound knowledge inworking of different types of gear cutting machines.
(d) Limited span of control:The amount of supervision required in batch production is lower than
that of jobbing production. The ration of direct workmen to supervisors ismore or less a function of batch size. The smaller the batches, the lower arethe ratio of direct workers to supervisors, and vice versa. This is becausesmaller lots require each supervisor to spend a great deal of his time inallocating new work, giving instructions, follow up on the shop floor for propermovement of materials from and to the machines, identifying delays andinterruptions, and arranging, in consultation with planning, work load in hissection to keep his men busy.
(e) General purpose machines and process type of layoutPlant and equipment is procured and arranged to
obtain maximum flexibility. General purpose machines and handling equipmentcapable of performing variety of operations with minimum set –up times areinstalled in lieu of variety of products. The machines are arranged to giveprocess layout-layout by function. Similar machines capable of doing similartypes of operations are grouped together and kept at one place. Presses forexample, are put together and kept at one place milling machines are placedtogether at another place, drilling machines are kept at the third place, gearcutting machines are located at the fourth place and so on. Each Group ofmachines is usually designated as a work centre or a section or a shop.
(f) Manual materials handling:Materials handling in batch production as compared to jobbing production aresmall. Individual components and parts are placed in trolleys and trays andare transported as unit loads. Materials handling may be mechanized bydeploying power driven trucks.
(g) Manufacturing cycle time affected due to queues:The manufacture cycle time is comparatively smaller than jobbing productionbut is much more than mass and flow production. The batches of work tendto queue up at different machines due to differing cycles times, batch sizes andsequence of operations.
(h) Large work-in-progress:Work in progress is comparatively large due to varying work content ofdifferent components, imbalance in manufacturing times, formation of queuesbetween the machines.
(i) Flexibility of production schedules:Disruptions due to machine breakdown or absenteeism do not seriously affectproduction as job can be shifted to another machine or another operator fromanother machine can be shifted.
(j) Need to have production planning and control:Functions of production planning and control in a batch production unit aremore complex than those in jobbing production or mass and flow production:
Page 5
POM3
• Materials control and tools control functions are important. Somekind of replenishment system needs to be used to ensure routinereplenishment
• Detailed operational layout and route sheets are prepared for eachpart of the product.
• Loading and scheduling needs to be more detailed and moresophisticated since every machine requires to be individually scheduled.
• Progressing function is very important to collect information onprogress of work. A separate progress card needs to be maintained to recordprogress of each component.
• Expediting is generally necessary since quite often jobs, due toimbalances in work content, tend to lag behind
Q.3) (a) Why are locational decisions important? What factors should be takeninto account while deciding location of a unit to manufacture washingmachines?
Answer.3a)
Locational decisions generally arise when:
• A new manufacturing (or servicing) unit is to be set up.• Existing plant operations are difficult to expand due to poor selectionof site earlier.• The growth of the business makes it advisable to establish additionalfacilities in new territories.• There is emergence of new social (chronic labour problems) political(political instability or economic conditions that suggest a change in thelocation of the existing plant.• The product development has over weighted the advantages of theexisting plant.• The changes in the industrial Policy of the Government, favoringdecentralizing and dispersal of industries to achieve overall development of thecountry, do not permit expansion of the existing plant
FACTORS GOVERNING PLANT LOCATION
Plant location studies are conducted in three phases:
(i) General territory selection(ii) Community selection, and(iii) Site selection
1. Proximity to market:
Page 6
POM3
Every company is in business to market and it can survive only if theirproduct reaches the consumers on time and at the competitive price. Theratio of selling costs to sales generally increases with distance. Therefore, inthe choice of location o the plant, the factor of “proximity to the market” isgiven the highest priority. Locating a plant nearer to the market is preferredif:
• The product is fragile.• The product is susceptible to spoilage.• The promptness of service is required.• The product is relatively inexpensive and transportation costs addsignificantly to the cost.
Bread, soap factories, etc. require the market to be nearby. If factory cannotbe started in Bombay, it may be started in Thane, Kalyan or Poona. If theproduct is exported, location near ports is desirable. This is particularlyimportant for producers who sell bulky commodities, which incur hightransportation costs
Nearness to market not only lowers transportation costs but also gives manyother benefits namely:
• A good many administrative problems, which cause perpetual headachesand add to costs, are avoided.• Liaison with dealers or whole sellers can be maintained economicallyand easily• Other costs such as commission to middlemen, which at times run ashigh as 20 to 50 percent can be reduced significantly.• Customer’s accounts do not remain outstanding for settlement. Thisrecovery is easy and less time saving which itself reduces selling costs.
2. Proximity to source of raw materials:
Since raw materials usually constitute 50 to 60 percent of the total productcost, it is important that the firm gets its requirements of raw materials atthe right time and at the reasonable price for which the plant must be locatedin the neighborhood of some source which can meet the raw materialsrequirement of the unit “Proximity to supply of raw materials” factor assumesstill greater importance if raw materials are of perishable nature or if theyare expensive to transport, or if their weight is substantially reduced byprocessing.
Proximity to sources of raw materials is equally important for small units.This is because usually small units are not considered important customers.
Page 7
POM3They get least priority and in the event of scarcity are the one to be struckoff first from the list. The availability of materials to small units to a largeextent thus depends on their follow up and personal visits to the supplier’splant which is possible only if the buyer’s plant is close by.
3. Infrastructural facilities:
Infrastructural facilities consider availability of utilities like power water,disposal of waste etc. These form the life-blood of many types of industrieswithout which there facilities may come to a stand still. Underestimating theneed of any one of the utilities can be extremely costly and inconvenient.
Certain industries, for example, aluminium, steel, etc are power intensive andmust be located close to the sites of power generation failing which theshortage of, or increase in cost of generating power may spell problems fortheir survival.
Similarly, chemical process industries like paper and pulp, cement, steel, sugarlaundries, metal plating, food preparation etc. requires perennial source ofwater. Mineral content of water may also be an important factor. Treatmentof water is an expense to be considered while comparing economics of differentlocations.
Drainage facilities are important for process industries otherwise disposal ofprocess waster can create lot of difficulties.
4. Transport facilities:
Transportation cost to the value added is a key determinant of the plantlocation. The structure of the transportation cost depends on (i)Characteristics of the commodity (ii) average distance of shipment (iii) mediumof shipment: rail, road, and air sea.
The need for transport arises because raw materials and fuel are to be movedto factory site and finished goods are to be transported from factory tomarkets. Other things being equal since transport cost has a major effect onproduct cost, the regions well served by transport facilities are most suitablefor industrial locations.
5. Labour and wages:
Plant location should be such that required labour is easily available in theneighbourhood. Importing labour from outside is usually costly and it causeslot of administrative problems. Availability of required labour locally is bettersince problem of arranging accommodation and other related problems do notarise. Since normally workers with specific skills are required, some sort oftraining facility should also be available in the neighborhood. Skilled employeesare easily available if ITI’s, or Engineering colleges are there in theneighbourhood.
6. Legislation and taxation:
Page 8
POM3The policies of the state Government and Local Bodies relating to issue oflicenses, building codes, labour laws, etc. are the factors in selecting/rejectinga particular community/site.
In order to disperse industries and ensure balanced economic growth, bothCentral and State government offer a package of incentives for setting upindustries in particular locations. Exemption from excise duty, sales tax andoctroi, soft loans from financial institutions, subsidy in electricity charges, etc.are some of the incentives offered.
Since taxes and duties levied by the State Government and Local bodiessubstantially influence product cost, the incidence of such taxes/levies must betaken into account while selecting a community/site.
7. Climatic conditions:
Climatic factors may not have a major influence these days because of modernair conditioning facilities available today. However, it may be important factorfor certain industries like textile mills, which require high humidity.
8. Industrial and labour attitudes:
Community attitudes towards supporting hostile trade union activities are animportant factor. Locating facilities in a certain region/community may not bedesirable as frequent labour problems and interruptions are harmful to theplant in the long run. Political situation in the state and attitude of thegovernment towards labour activities also influences selection of the site forthe plant.
9. Safety requirement:
Safety factor may be important for certain industries such as:
- Nuclear power plants- Explosive factoriesLocation of such industries close to border areas is undesirable.
10. Community facilities (or social infrastructure):
Community facilities imply accommodation, educational, entertainment andtransport facilities.
Accommodation is needed unless the employees are local residents.Accommodation should be easily available, comparatively cheap and near somepublic transport stop.The locational area should be fully developed, be accessible by road and shouldhave a convenient and efficient public transport system operating between thearea and the township to enable employees, officials, customers and suppliers tomake easy trips for their work
Page 9
POM3
11. Community attitudes:
Community attitudes towards work (i.e. whether the people in the location arehard working or otherwise) as well as their attitudes towards the incomingentrepreneurs (helpful and cooperative or otherwise) can make or mar anindustry. Locational decisions, therefore, must take such factors also intoaccount particularly while setting up labour intensive units.
12. Supporting industries and services:
Locational factors should also include proximity of services needed by the firm.A firm desirous of getting some or all parts made from outside or some ofthe operations done from outside must see that such sub-contractors arelocated in the neighbourhood. Getting a job done from units located at far offplaces will mean not only additional transportation cost but also timeconsuming and costly. Also if units are too far off, the control on quality ofwork done by them cannot be exercised.
13. Suitability of the land:
Site selection should also take into account topography and soil structure ofthe land. The soil structure must be capable of bearing loads of foundations.Though modern building techniques can overcome the limitations of the soil,but if considerable improvement is required then selection of a low cost andmay ultimately turn out to be expensive.
14. Availability and cost of the land:
Site size (Plot size) must be large enough to accommodate the presentproduction facilities, parking and access facilities but also leave sufficient roomfor future expansion. As a general rule, a site five times the actual plant sizeis considered minimum for all these things including future expansion.
ECONOMY SURVEY OF THE SITE SELECTION:
An ideal location is one where the cost of obtaining materials and processingthem into finished product plus the cost of distributing the finished product tocustomers is minimum.
Page 10
POM3One of the most commonly used approaches consists of following steps:
Step 1: Prepare a list of all relevant factors.
Step 2: Estimate expenses on materials, transport, wages, power etc for eachlocation on each of the above factors.
Step 3: Collect data on intangible factors like community facilities, communityattitudes etc.
Step 4: Analyse the tangible data for each location and calculate rate ofreturn on investment.
Step 5: Select provisionally a locational based on financial data.
Step 6: Compare the intangible data for the different locations and select theoptimal location considering intangible data.

OBJECTIVE OF A GOOD PLANT LAYOUT
Only through an efficient layout, the organization can attain the followingobjectives:
(i) Economy in handling of materials, work-in-process and finished goods.
(ii) Minimization of product delays.
(iii) Lesser work-in-progress and minimum manufacturing cycle time.
(iv) Efficient utilization of available space.
(v) Easy supervision and better production control.
(vi) Greater flexibility for changes in product design and for futureexpansion.
(vii) Better working conditions by eliminating causes of excessive noise,objectionable odor smoke etc.
PRINCIPLES OF A GOOD LAYOUT
(i) Overall integration of factors:A good layout is one that integrates men, materials, machines and supportingactivities and others in a way that the best compromise is obtained
No layout can satisfy each and every principle of a good layout. Some
Page 11
POM3criterion may conflict with some other criterion and as a result no layout canbe ideal it has to integrate all factors into the best possible compromise.
(ii) Minimum movement:A good layout is one that permits the minimum movement between theoperations.
The plant and machinery in case of product layout and departments incase of process layout should be arranged as per sequence of operations ofmost of the products.
? Since straight line is the shortest distance between any two points,men and materials as far as possible should be made to move along thestraight path
A door may be made in a wall or a hole may be drilled in a ceiling if thateliminates or reduces material handling in place of stairs or a distant door.
(iii) Uni-direction flow:A good layout is one that makes the materials move only in the forwarddirection, towards stage of completion, with any backtracking.
? Since straight line is the shortest distance between any two, points,materials as far as possible should be made to move on the principle ofstraight line flow. And when straight line flow is not possible, other flows likeU-shaped flow, circular flow or zig zag flow may be adopted, but the layoutmay ensure that materials move in the forward direction (Fig 4.1)
? To ensure forward flow, equipment if necessary may be duplicated.
(iv) Effective use of available space:A good layout is one that makes effective use of available space both horizontaland vertical
• Backtracking and duplicated movements consume more time, involveun-necessary materials handling, add to cost and lead to inefficiency.
• Raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods should be piledvertically one above another rather than being strewn on the floor.
• Pallets or equivalents should be made use of to pile up several layersone above another
• Area below the work tables or in the cupboards built into the wall arewelcome since they reduce requirement of space
(v) Maximum visibility:A good layout is one that makes men, machines and materials ready observable
Page 12
POM3at all times.
• All departments should be smoothly integrated, convenient to serviceand easy to supervise
• Every piece of positioning or screening or partitioning should bescrutinized and carefully planned.
• Special cupboards, enclosures, offices, partitions etc. should be avoidedexcept when their utility is established beyond doubt.
(vi) Maximum accessibility:A good layout is one that makes all servicing and maintenance point readilyaccessible.
• Machines should be kept sufficiently apart and with reasonableclearance fromThe wall so that lubrication, adjustment and replacement of belts, removal ofparts at the time of repairs etc can be done conveniently by the maintenancestaff.
Area in front of electrical panels and fire extinguishers should be kept freefrom obstructions.
Q.4) How does production planning differ from production control? What arethe key functions of production planning and control?
Answer.4)Production planning versus production control.
Planning (Planning the work) Control (Working the Plan)Planning involves collection and maintenance of data regarding time standards,materials and their specifications, machines and their quantities, tools andtheir process capabilities, drawings and operational layouts etc.
Planning is seeing that requirements tool, machines, men, instructions,authorization and the like-will be available at the right time and in the rightquantities and are of proper quality.
Planning involves preparations of load charts and fitting various work ordersinto uncommitted time available on the company’s facilities (men or machines).
Planning involves preparation of all necessary forms and paper work.
Planning involves designing suitable feed back as to what may happen.
Planning involves forwarding thinking regarding the remedial action to be takenif the job falls behind schedule.
Planning therefore is a centralized
Page 13
POM3Activity (in the office) and includes such functions as materials control, toolscontrol, process planning and scheduling. Control involves dissemination of datapreparation of reports regarding output, machine and labour efficiency,percent defectives etc.
Control is seeing the requirements are actually made available at the rightplace and in the right quantities.
Control involves actual seeing that the jobs are started and completed as perschedule prepared by the scheduling cell of the PPC.
Control involves actual issue of forms and paper work.
Control involves keeping track of what is happening and collecting informationas to what has happened.
Control involves suggesting remedial action when the job is falling behindschedule.
Control is thus a diffused activity (in the shops) and includes functions such asdispatching, progressing and expediting.
FUNCTIONS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL:
Production planning and control is normally assigned two sets of functions:(I)Regular functions and(ii) Optional functions.
(i) Regular functions are those, which are generally assigned to PPC inmost of the organizations through the importance of the function, may varyfrom industry to industry.
(ii) Optional functions are those, which may be assigned to PPC dependingupon policy of the management of the firm.
Page 14
POM3
Common (or Regular Functions) Optional Functions
Order Preparation includes activities like making of work orders, convertingwork orders to shop orders, preparing auxiliary orders and releasing suchorders to those concerned to authorize their activities
Materials control concerns preparations of materials estimates, indentingnon-stock materials, ascertaining availability of materials purchased to stock,continual follow-up with purchase and stores for timely receipt of materials,and advising stores to allocate required quantities or available materials(alternatively on their receipt) against specific shop orders.
Process planning or Routing concerns fixation of method of manufacture:operations and their sequence, machine tool for each operation, jigs andfixtures, measuring instruments and gauges etc. to enable shops to producegoods of the right quality at the lowest cost.
Tools control concerns preparations of estimates of cutting tools (Standards asweek As non-standards tools), gauges and measuring instruments, jigs andfixtures etc indenting non-stick tooling: follow up with tool room for timelymanufacture of jigs and fixtures; periodical replenishment ofworn-out-non-consumable tooling (e.g. work arbors, collets, copying masters,Allen keys, spanners, etc.
Scheduling concerns preparation of machine loads, fixation of calendar dates ofvarious operations to be performed on a job, coordination with sales toconfirm delivery dates of new items and periodical preparation of dispatchschedules of regular items.
Dispatching concerns preparation and distribution of shop orders andmanufacturing instructions to the concerned department as their authority toperform the work according to the predetermined schedule.
Progressing concerns collection of data from manufacturing shops, recording ofprogress of work, and comparing progress against the plan.
Expediting concerns intensive progress chasing to identify delays andinterruptions which may hold up production, devising cures from time to timeto keep rate of production in line with the schedule, communicating possiblefailure in delivery commitments to Sales Department.
Cost Estimation concerns preparations ofPreproduction cost estimates to be used by sales department for quotationpurposes (Alternatively this may be assigned to Costing Department OrIndustrial Engineering Department)
Page 15
POM3
Work measurement concern fixation of time to be allowed to a qualifiedworkman to carry out a specific task, under specified conditions and at thedefined level of performance. Work measurement employs scientific, well-knowntechniques like time study, work sampling standard data, production study,analytical estimating etc. (Alternatively, work measurement function may beassigned to Industrial Engineering department.Sub-Contract concerns offloading of certain work on outside vendors foreconomic reasons or to augment the existing manufacturing facilities(Sub-contract work alternatively) be handled by Materials/purchase Department)
Capacity planning concerns estimation of requirements of men and machines asthe basis of decision making to meet the firm’s increased volume of business(Some companies prefer to assign this function to Engineering department.
Demand forecasting concerns making projection of company’s product market.Though, long term forecasts are given by Sales Department but short termforecasts required for materials planning, machine loading, sub contracting etcmay be prepared by PPC department
Q.12 (a) What is critical path? What does it signify? How is it identified?
Answer.2)(a)
Critical path analysis, an important aid to planning, scheduling andcoordinating the activities if large scale projects. Is a synthesis of twoindependent techniques: Programme Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)and Critical Path Method (CPM).Though the two techniques were developed independently, they are onlysuperficially different. The two method have many features in common andare now combined into a technique called Critical Path Analysis (CPA) orNetwork Analysis.
There are three basic different between a PERT network and CPM network:
• PERT is event oriented while CPM is activity oriented (i.e. PERTprepares network from events while CPM builds if from activities)
• PERT provides for an allowance for uncertainty while CPM does not (i.e.PERT makes three time estimates for each activity while CPM makes one timeestimate)
Page 16
POM3• Activity time in CPM technique are related to costs while it is not soin PERT since it is event oriented
Significance of critical path
Critical path analysis offers several advantages. It
(i) Forces through pre-planning. Each and every activity compromisingthe project is identified and recorded. Nothing is left to memory or chancewhich prevents crises in scheduling(ii) Increases coordination of tasks as technological relationship betweenthe activities suggests which activities can run simultaneously and which shouldsucceed others.(iii) Helps computations of different project duration’s for different level ofresources and thereby select a plan that minimizes total project cost.(iv) Indicates optimal start and finish times of each activity of the project.(v) Defines areas of responsibility of different departmental heads fortimely execution of the project.(vi) Facilitates progress reporting and limits unnecessary discussion at theprogress meetings.(vii) Identifies troubles spot often in advance and apply remedial measures.(viii) Enables the plan to be revised in accordance with changes/changingcircumstances.(ix) Helps to exercise “control by exception” and prevents cost overruns.
A Project comprises a series of activities and the identification of the individualactivities requires knowledge and experience of the men responsible for theplanning of the project. Even the preliminaries-mere listing of theactivities-make the operating personnel:
• Think of details about the project well in advance.
• Observe critically the way in which the various activities interact orcompete for scarce resources
• Improve upon the original plans even before network is formallydrawn and analyzed.
A project, therefore, must be torn into a set of identifiable activities. Thereare no set rules but general guidelines are as under:
• An activity should represent the smallest unit of the operation or setof operations over which management desires control.
• An activity should represent an operation or set of operations, whichcan be performed using a particular kind of equipment or a specialskill. For example in construction project, plumbing is considered as oneactivity while wiring can be considered as another activity since the firstactivity requires plumbers and the second activity needs electricians.

Q.5) What is preventive maintenance? Why it is better than BreakdownMaintenance? What are the key activities of Preventive Maintenance?
Answer.5)
Preventive maintenance anticipates failures and adopts necessary actions tocheck failures before they occur. It includes activities like inspection,lubrication cleaning and unkeeps, minor adjustments and replacements foundnecessary at the time of inspection etc. Preventive maintenance can be either:running maintenance or “shut down maintenance”. Running maintenanceincludes maintenance activities (e.g. minor adjustments In machinesrevealed through inspections, lubrication, cleaning and unkeep etc.) Which arecarried out when the machine is still running. Shutdown maintenance includespreventive maintenance activities such as minor component replacement whoseneeds are identified through inspections, which require stoppage of Machines.

Suchmaintenance. Practice is known as predictive maintenance or condition basedmaintenance.
Q.10) (a) What are X-R Charts? How are they made and used in controlling aprocess?
Answer.10)
X-R chart is a pair of chart consisting of a average (called X chart) and arangeChart (called R chart) placed one below another on a piece of graph paper.The X chart is used to control the mean value of the characteristic anR-chart is used to restrict the range of variations in the values. X-R chartsare drawn when the characteristics are measurable. Each chart consists ofthree values: a central line, upper control limit and lower control limit. Thecentral line represents the arithmetic average of the sample means whichequals the mean of the population, u. The upper and lower control limits arelocated at three standard deviation on either side of the central line.Samples of fixed size are drawn at regular intervals and measurements aretaken. The samples wise values of the mean and range are plottedin their respective X and R charts.The spread of sample points in the charts is studied to decide the remedialaction (if any) to be taken. The X chart analyses whether or not the mean ofthe quality Characteristics is within control while R-chart analyses whether ornot the variability is within control.
STEPS TO PREPARE X-R CHART
A pre-requisite to the preparation of the chart is the decision on the followingaspects:
• Quality Characteristics refer to the property of the product, which isto be assessed. The quality characteristics must be capable of being measured.In case of more than quality characteristics, separate chart is made for eachquality characteristic.• Sample size refers to number of pieces comprising each sample.Sample size is an important decision. It is a common practice to use sampleof n = 4 or 5 to have low appraisal cost. Large samples such as n = 15 or20 are used if the process standard deviation is large.• Sample Population refers to the number of samples to be collected toconstruct a control chart. The number of samples must be sufficient.Usually, 20 samples each of size 4 or 5 are enough to have good estimates ofthe process average (X) and dispersion (R).• Time Interval measures the time gap between consecutive samples.Time interval, as a genera rule, should be proportional to the averagefrequency of out-of-control conditions. It is a fairly complex decision since anumber of factors such as cost economy, susceptibility of the process to
Page 21
POM3disturbances; convenience of the inspector etc. requires to be considered.
The making of X-R Charts involves the following Steps:
Step 1: Collect Data
(a) Collect sufficient samples spread over a reasonable period. Eachsample must be of equal size.(b) Measure each component comprising the sample for the given qualitycharacteristic(c) Record individual measurements on a work data sheet.
Step 2: Calculate mean (X) and Range (R) of each sample
A The mean which is written as X (X bar) is average of eachsample and isObtained by totaling the individual measurements of the units comprising thesample and dividing the total by the sample size (number of units in eachsample)B The range, which is written as R, is obtained as the difference betweenthe highest and the lowest measurement of a sample.C The values of X and R are recorded sample wise either on the extremeright of the individual measurements on the data sheet or in a separate table.
Step 3: Calculate grand Average (X) and mean Range (R)
A The grand average, which is written as, X (X double bar) is theaverage of the sample averages and is obtained by dividing the total of theaverages of all the samples by the total number of samples.B The mean range, which is written as, R (R bar) is the average of theranges and is obtained by dividing the total of the ranges of the samples bythe total number of samples.
Step 4: Set up Control chart for the average
A Set up a control chart with the central line drawn at X (X doublebar), upper control limit located X + A2R (R bar) and the lower control limitset up at X-A2R.B Plot the averages to see whether the process was under control whensamples were drawn.C If all points fall within the control limits, the process is said to beunder controlD If process is not under control (indicated by some points fallingoutside the control limits), eliminate points outside the control limits andcompute new trial control limits for the remaining points.E Repeat step 4 (d) until all points fall within the control limitsF Control limits in a particular situation should be revised from time totime as additional data is accumulated.
Step 5: Calculate control limits of the range chart
Page 22
POM3
A The control chart for range chart is set up with central line as R,upper control limit (UCLR) located at D4R above the central line and lowercontrol limit (LCL) at D3R below the central lineB Plot the value of the range of each sample.C If all points fall within the control limits no modification is necessaryunless it is desired to reduce the process dispersionD if range chart exhibits lack of control indicated by some points fallingoutside the control limits, eliminate those points out of control and computenew trial control limitsE Repeat step 5 (d) until all points fall within the control limits.F Control limits in a practical situation should be revised time to timeas additional data is accumulated.
Step 6: Use control chart
A Collect samples of fixed size at specified intervals of time.B Measure each unit of the sample for the quality characteristics,calculate mean and the range of each sample.
C Plot the values of X and R of each sample in their respectivechartsD Study the trend of the points to interpret and suggest remedialaction

(iv) Set Up control chart for the average
Central Line = CLx = X(X bar) = 2.992
Upper Control Limit = UCLx = X (X bar) + A2.R(R bar)
= 2.992 + 0.5768 x 0.14
= 3.476
Lower Control Limit = UCLx = X (X bar) - A2.R(R bar)
= 2.992 - 0.5768 x 0.14
= 2.507
(v) Set up a range chart
Central line CLR = R(R bar) = 0.14
Lower control limit = LCLR = D3.R (Rbar)

Q.6) What is method study? Describe the procedural steps to develop easier andeffective methods.
Answer.6)
Method study is the systematic recording and critical examination of existingand proposed ways of doing work, as a means of developing and applying easierand more effective methods and reducing costs.
Method study is an organized approach and its investigation rests on thefollowing six basic steps outlined in the block diagram• Select the work to be analyzed.• Record all facts relating to the existing method.• Examine the recorded facts critically but impartially.• Develop the most economical method commensurate with plantRequirements• Install the new method as standard practice.• Maintain the new method.
Selection of the job
Selections of the jobs to be studied for methods improvement by the methodstudy practioner is a managerial responsibility and it (selection) may be basedon economic technical or human consideration. Economic considerationjustifies selection based on the economic worth (i.e. money saving potential) ofthe job.Technical consideration identifies jobs, which require studies to overcomemanufacturing difficulties (excessive rejection, relaxation in prefixedperformance standards, inability if the shops to stick to specified machiningparameters such as speeds, feeds, depth of cut etc., inconsistent quality etc.)Human consideration in job selection is usually given weightage whileintroducing method study practices for the first time.
Recording of facts
Systematic recording is the most crucial step in method improvement. Sincerecording by long hand (or by descriptive method) has its limitations, it is notrecommended for use in method study. Instead, five symbols and eightcharting conventions are used to record facts relating to the job under study.
Page 25
POM3Five typical symbols are O, ||, ?, D and V and eight charting conventionsconcern composition of the chart, reject, rework, repletion, change of state,introducing of new material, combined events and numbering of events. Thedocument on which details of the process are recorded by the above referredsymbols and conventions is called chart. There are four basic types of chart:(i) operation process chart (ii) Flow process chart (iii) multiple activity chartsand (iv) two handed process chart.
Besides charts, two types of diagrams-flow diagram and string diagram aredrawn when recording details of an existing layout. Travel chart is anothertypical chart, which is used to record frequency of movements (weight xdistance) between work centres/departments.
Repetitive short cycle operation which involves quick hand/feel motions (i.e.microscopic motions) may be studied with micro motion study. Glibreth,founder father of micro motion study, also developed photographic techniquescalled cyclograph and chronocylegraph to record path of the motions of themembers of the body.
Critical examination
Critical examination aims to analyze the facts critically and thereby give riseto alternatives, which form the basis of selection and development of easier,and effective methods.
Critical examination is conducted through a systematic and methodicalquestioning process. Each activity recorded on the chart, whether it relates toprocessing or inspection, or material handling, or to any other aspect, ispicked up one at a time and is examined minutely. The questioning process isconsidered under five major heads, namely the purpose, the place, thesequence, the person and the means. These five aspects in critical examinationare referred to as five governing considerations.
Development and selection:
Development and selection stage concerns short listing of ideas generated at thecritical examination stage, testing each short listed idea for its technical andeconomic feasibility, and making selection among the alternatives whereverchoice exists. To develop ideas and to ascertain their technical and economicalfeasibility, the method study practioner needs to solicit the cooperation ofpersonnel from different departments of the company. Various techniquesavailable for the development and selection purpose are: cost benefit analysis,break even analysis, investment analysis and critical path analysis.
Installation
‘Installation’ (or implementation) of the proposed method involves preparationof project report on recommendations making oral presentation to the top
Page 26
POM3management, securing approval of the decision maker, assisting linemanagement during implementation, arranging training of workmen, and gettingjobs (operations) retime after implementation, arranging training of workmen,and getting jobs (operations) retimed after implementation.
Maintenance
“ Maintenance” phase is the follow up phase after implementation, which servesas a monitoring and control mechanism. It helps to ensure that the revisedmethods are set into concrete and workmen do not revert back to oldmethods. It also provides an opportunity to the practitioner to assess theeffectiveness of the approach followed by him and makes changes in themethodology (if required).
Q.9) (a) What desirable conditions need to be present to be present toguarantee success of an incentive scheme?
Answer.9)
A good wage incentive plan should have the following characteristics.
• Administrative simplicity:The incentive system should be simple and must be easily understood by theworkers and their representatives. An incentives scheme, which can beunderstood, only by engineers and mathematicians or a scheme which involvesthe use of complex formulate or references and cross-references is sure tofail. The incentive scheme should be such that workmen can calculate theirown earnings easily and quickly.
• Minimum clerical work:The system should fit into existing system of production and cost control. Itshould not involve any significant addition to the clerical work.
• Maximum coverage:The system should cover as many workmen as possible. A scheme if applied toa few workmen creates a demoralizing effect on the morale of those notcovered by the scheme.
• DirectIncentive payments should increase at least in direct proportion to the increasein output by the operator. There are two reasons:Firstly because it is more difficult to producer extra units and secondlybecause saving in the overheads are far greater at higher levels of production.
• Period of PaymentThe period of payment should be as short as possible
• Adequate guaranteed minimum hourly rateThe scheme must ensure adequate guaranteed minimum hourly rate to all
Page 27
POM3incentive workers regardless of their output. Such an hourly guaranteed rateis normally referred to as the guaranteed base rate.The guaranteed base rate must be realistic and should be at least equal to thehourly rate payable to a non-incentive worker doing similar job in theindustry. Incentive earnings of the workers should never be regarded as asubstitute for poor wages.
• Accurate and yet attainable performance standardsPerformance standards should be set through systematic work measurementstudies. The experts to that there is no dispute or malpractice and yet thestandards are attainable so that a worker working at normal pace can attainthem should base the standards of measurement on the assessment.
Further the incentive plan should be such that it provides an opportunity toall average workers to earn reasonable earnings.
• Consistency of the standardsStandards once fixed should not be changed unless there is a permanentchange in methods, or change in equipment, or change in material and planshould provide for the provisions to modify the performance standards.
• Inbuilt check on process rejectionsA good incentive scheme should exercise a check on the operator againstachieving higher bonus by poor workmanship. Payment should be made onlyfor pieces declared acceptable by the inspection department and a workmanconstantly producing substandard pieces should be liable for disciplinary action.
• Payment of partially completed jobsThe problem of payment for the incomplete work arises only in case of longcycle jobs. Situations do arise when the jobs are of very long cycle durationand cannot be finished within the bonus period. Similarly, a semi-finished jobmay require to be handed over by one operator to another at the end of shift,or prior to having a holiday. The scheme should clearly spell out as howassessment of work done by the workmen on the same job will be carried outand how disputes arising out of such assessment would be resolved.
• Payment of Idle TimeAdequate safeguards must be provided to compensate the operator for the timelost due to reasons beyond his control. A good incentive scheme should ensurethat an operator does not suffer financial loss for reasons attributable to themanagerial weakness, e.g.: lack of material due to bad buying, breakdowns ofthe machines due to poor maintenance practices, non-availability of work etc.Thus an operator rendered idle because of factors attributable to themanagement should be given a lieu bonus.
Page 28
POM3• SafeguardsThe scheme should be fair not only to the employees but also to the employer.Safeguarding clauses as under should be incorporated to protect.
a. Management’s right to change a standard when there are changes inmethods. Materials and machinesb. Management’s right to withdraw or discontinue temporarily a schemeduring bad period.c. Management’s right to initiate disciplinary action against operators whocontinually produce sub-standard articles.d. Management’s right to initiate disciplinary action against employeeswho, time and again, do not achieve minimum standard of production even inthe presence of fair and accurate standards.e. Management’s right to initiate disciplinary action against employeeswho, time and again are found using speeds and feeds higher than thoserecommended in the process sheet (or operational layouts)
• Maximum ceiling on the earningsThe system should have built-in-control against higher earnings beyond acertain limit. Firstly, the system should discourage workers to work beyond acertain limit otherwise too attractive an incentive scheme may induce theworker to work more and more and thereby adversely affect his health.Secondly, the system should ensure that in case of loose standards the companydoes not lose financially.
• Consistency of PlanThe plan should be consistent over a period of time. Frequent changes in theplan make it’s functioning difficult. Faith in plan is lost if there are frequentrevisions.
• Acceptance of Labour BodyThe scheme should finally have acceptance of the labour body. The body ofworkers’ representatives to prevent any misunderstanding and ill-feeling lateron must accept the basic incentive plan and its provisions.
• Continuous UseThe scheme should be in continuous use. The temporary use of the scheme ingood times and its discontinuation in bad times makes it’s functioning difficult.
• Define End ResultsThe plan must result in reduction in per unit labor cost.

Q.1) What is “Operations Management”? What are the objectives of Operations Management? Enlist key elements of OperationsManagement.
Answer.1)
An operation may be defined “as the process of changing inputs into outputs thereby adding value to some entity”.Right quality,right quantity, right time and right price are the four basic requirements of the customers and as such they determine theextent of customer satisfaction. And if these can be provided at a minimum cost, then the value of goods produced or servicesrendered increases. Thus the objectives of production management are “to produce goods and services of the right quality, inthe right quantities, according to the time schedule and a minimum cost”.
Objectives of production management may be amplified as under:
• Producing the right kind of goods and services that satisfy customers’ needs (effectiveness objective).
• Maximizing output of goods and services with minimum resource inputs (efficiency objective).
• Ensuring that goods and services produced conform to pre-set quality specifications (quality objective).
• Minimizing throughput-time- the time that elapses in the conversion process- by reducing delays, waiting time and idletime (lead time objective).
• Maximizing utilization of manpower, machines, etc. (Capacity utilization objective).
• Minimizing cost of producing goods or rendering a service (Cost objective).
Key elements of Operations Management
1. Product selection and design
The right kind of products and good designs of the products are crucial for the success of an organizing. A wrong selection ofthe product and/or poor design of the products can render the company’s operation ineffective and non-competitive.Products/services, therefore, must be chosen after detailed evaluation of the product/services alternatives in conformity withthe organization’s objectives. Techniques like value engineering may be employed in creating alternate designs, which are freefrom unnecessary features and meet the intended functions at the lowest cost.
2. Process selection and planning
Selection of the optimal “conversion system” is as important as choice of products/services and their design. Processselection decisions include decisions concerning choice of technology, Equipment, machines, material handling systems,mechanization and automation. Process planning involves detailing of processes if resource conversion required and theirsequence.
3 Facilities (Plant) location
Plant location decisions are strategic decisions and once plant is set up at a location, it is comparatively immobile and canbe shifted later only at a considerable cost and interruption of production. Although problem of location choice does not fallwithin preview the production function and it occurs infrequently, yet it is of crucial importance because of its major effecton the performance of every department including production. Therefore, it is important to choose the right location, whichwill minimize total “delivered customer” cost (Production and distribution cost). Locational decisions involve evaluation oflocational alternatives against multiplicity of relevant factors considering their relative importance to the organization andselecting those, which are operationally advantageous to the organization.
4. Facilities (Plant) layout and materials handling
Plant layout is concerned with relative location of one department (Work centre) with another in order to facilitate materialflow and processing of a product in the most efficient manner through the shortest possible time. A good layout reducesmaterial handling cost, eliminates delays and congestion, improves co-ordination, provide good housekeeping etc. while a poorlayout results in congestion, waste, frustration, inefficiency and loss of profit.
5. Capacity Planning
Capacity planning concerns determination and acquisition of productive resource to ensure that their availability matches thedemand. Capacity decisions have a directInfluence on performance of production system in respect of both resource productivity and customer service (i.e. deliveryperformance). Excess capacity results in low resource productivity while inadequate capacity leads to poor customer service.Capacity planning decisions can be short-term decisions. Long-term capacity planning decisions concern expansion/contractionof major facilities required in the conversion process, economics of multiple shift operation, development of vendors for major
components etc. Short term capacity planning decisions concern issues like overtime working, sub-contracting, shiftadjustments etc. Break even analysis is a valuable tool for capacity planning.
6. Production Planning and Control (PPC)
Production planning is the system for specifying the production procedure to obtain the desired output in a given time atoptimum cost in conformance with specified standard of quality, and control is essential to ensure that manufacturing takesplace in the manner stated in the plan.
7. Inventory control
Inventory control deals with determination of optimal inventory levels of raw materials, components, parts, tools; finishedgoods, spares and supplies to ensure their availability with minimum capital lock up. Material requirement planning (MRP) andjust-in-Time (JIT) are the latest techniques that can help the firm to reduce inventory.
8. Quality assurance and control
Quality is an important aspect of production system and it must ensure that services and products produced by the companyconform to the declared quality standards at the minimum cost A total quality assurance system includes such aspects assetting standards of quality, inspection of purchased and sub-contracted parts, control of quality during manufacture andinspection of finished product including performance testing etc.
9. Work study and job design
Work-study, also called time and motion study, is concerned with improvement of productivity in the existing jobs and themaximization of productivity in the design of new jobs. Two principal component of work-study are:
(i) Method study(ii) Work measurement
Method study has been defined (BS 3138) as the systematic recording and critical examination of the existing and proposedways of doing work, as a means of developing and applying easier and more effective methods and reducing costs. Method studywhen applied to production methods yields one or more of the following benefits:
• Improved work environment• Improved facility layout• Better utilization of facilities• Greater safety• Lesser materials handling• Smooth production flow• Lower work-in-process• Higher earnings for the workmen
10. Maintenance and replacement
Maintenance and replacement involve selection of optimal maintenance Preventive and/or breakdown) policy to ensure higherequipment availability at minimum maintenance and repair cost. Preventive maintenance, which includes preventive inspection,
planned lubrication, periodic cleaning and upkeep, planned replacement of parts, condition monitoring of the equipment andmachines, etc. is most appropriate for critical machines.
11. Cost reduction and cost control
Effective production management must ensure minimum cost of production and in this context cost reduction and cost controlacquires significant importance. There are large number of tools and techniques available that can help to make a heavy denton the production cost.
Q.2) What is batch Production? What are its key characteristics? Compare these characteristics with those of projectproduction.
Answer.2)
Batch production is characterized by the manufacture of a limited number of a product (but many such quantities ofdifferent products) produced at periodic intervals and stocked in warehouses as finished goods (or finished parts) awaitingsales (or withdrawal for assembly). Typical examples of batch production are: process industries such as pharmaceuticals,paints, chemicals; medium and heavy engineering industry engaged in the manufacture of electric motors, switch gears, heavymotor vehicles, internal combustion engines; manufacture of ready made garments; manufacture of assembly shops such as machinetools; sub contractors which take on machining of batches of components to the drawings of a large manufacture etc.
Characteristics of batch production
(a) Short runs:Short production runs and frequent changes of set also characterize batch production up. The equipment and the assembly
set up is used for a limitednumber of parts or assemblies and is then changed to make a different product. The production is generally made to stock.
(b) Skilled labour in specific trades:The labour force is expected to posses skill in one specific manufacturing process, Turning, milling, drilling, welding,
grinding, hobbing, fitting etc.
The operator may perform simpler machine set-ups but the separate machine tool setter performs those involving complexoperations.
(c) Supervision to possess knowledge of a specific processThe supervision has considerable knowledge of a specific process. Supervisor in the grinding section for example, may
not expert in turning and drilling work but s expected to possess a find of knowledge of different types of grindingoperations.
Similarly a supervisor in the gear shop is expected to have sound knowledge in working of different types of gear cuttingmachines.
(d) Limited span of control:The amount of supervision required in batch production is lower than that of jobbing production. The ration of direct
workmen to supervisors is more or less a function of batch size. The smaller the batches, the lower are the ratio of directworkers to supervisors, and vice versa. This is because smaller lots require each supervisor to spend a great deal of his timein allocating new work, giving instructions, follow up on the shop floor for proper movement of materials from and to the
machines, identifying delays and interruptions, and arranging, in consultation with planning, work load in his section to keephis men busy.
(e) General purpose machines and process type of layoutPlant and equipment is procured and arranged to obtain maximum flexibility. General purpose machines
and handling equipment capable of performing variety of operations with minimum set –up times are installed in lieu of varietyof products. The machines are arranged to give process layout-layout by function. Similar machines capable of doing similartypes of operations are grouped together and kept at one place. Presses for example, are put together and kept at one placemilling machines are placed together at another place, drilling machines are kept at the third place, gear cutting machines arelocated at the fourth place and so on. Each Group of machines is usually designated as a work centre or a section or a shop.
(f) Manual materials handling:Materials handling in batch production as compared to jobbing production are small. Individual components and parts are placedin trolleys and trays and are transported as unit loads. Materials handling may be mechanized by deploying power driventrucks.
(g) Manufacturing cycle time affected due to queues:The manufacture cycle time is comparatively smaller than jobbing production but is much more than mass and flow production.The batches of work tend to queue up at different machines due to differing cycles times, batch sizes and sequence ofoperations.
(h) Large work-in-progress:Work in progress is comparatively large due to varying work content of different components, imbalance in manufacturing times,formation of queues between the machines.
(i) Flexibility of production schedules:Disruptions due to machine breakdown or absenteeism do not seriously affect production as job can be shifted to another machineor another operator from another machine can be shifted.
(j) Need to have production planning and control:Functions of production planning and control in a batch production unit are more complex than those in jobbing production ormass and flow production:
• Materials control and tools control functions are important. Some kind of replenishment system needs to be used toensure routine replenishment
• Detailed operational layout and route sheets are prepared for each part of the product.
• Loading and scheduling needs to be more detailed and more sophisticated since every machine requires to be individuallyscheduled.
• Progressing function is very important to collect information on progress of work. A separate progress card needs to bemaintained to record progress of each component.
• Expediting is generally necessary since quite often jobs, due to imbalances in work content, tend to lag behind
Q.3) (a) Why are locational decisions important? What factors should be taken into account while deciding location of a unitto manufacture washing machines?
Answer.3a)
Locational decisions generally arise when:
• A new manufacturing (or servicing) unit is to be set up.• Existing plant operations are difficult to expand due to poor selection of site earlier.• The growth of the business makes it advisable to establish additional facilities in new territories.• There is emergence of new social (chronic labour problems) political (political instability or economic conditions thatsuggest a change in the location of the existing plant.• The product development has over weighted the advantages of the existing plant.• The changes in the industrial Policy of the Government, favoring decentralizing and dispersal of industries to achieveoverall development of the country, do not permit expansion of the existing plant
FACTORS GOVERNING PLANT LOCATION
Plant location studies are conducted in three phases:
(i) General territory selection(ii) Community selection, and(iii) Site selection
1. Proximity to market:
Every company is in business to market and it can survive only if their product reaches the consumers on time and at thecompetitive price. The ratio of selling costs to sales generally increases with distance. Therefore, in the choice oflocation o the plant, the factor of “proximity to the market” is given the highest priority. Locating a plant nearer to themarket is preferred if:
• The product is fragile.• The product is susceptible to spoilage.• The promptness of service is required.• The product is relatively inexpensive and transportation costs add significantly to the cost.
Bread, soap factories, etc. require the market to be nearby. If factory cannot be started in Bombay, it may be started inThane, Kalyan or Poona. If the product is exported, location near ports is desirable. This is particularly important forproducers who sell bulky commodities, which incur high transportation costs
Nearness to market not only lowers transportation costs but also gives many other benefits namely:
• A good many administrative problems, which cause perpetual headaches and add to costs, are avoided.• Liaison with dealers or whole sellers can be maintained economically and easily• Other costs such as commission to middlemen, which at times run as high as 20 to 50 percent can be reduced significantly.
• Customer’s accounts do not remain outstanding for settlement. This recovery is easy and less time saving which itselfreduces selling costs.
2. Proximity to source of raw materials:
Since raw materials usually constitute 50 to 60 percent of the total product cost, it is important that the firm gets itsrequirements of raw materials at the right time and at the reasonable price for which the plant must be located in theneighborhood of some source which can meet the raw materials requirement of the unit “Proximity to supply of raw materials”factor assumes still greater importance if raw materials are of perishable nature or if they are expensive to transport, or iftheir weight is substantially reduced by processing.
Proximity to sources of raw materials is equally important for small units. This is because usually small units are notconsidered important customers. They get least priority and in the event of scarcity are the one to be struck off first fromthe list. The availability of materials to small units to a large extent thus depends on their follow up and personal visitsto the supplier’s plant which is possible only if the buyer’s plant is close by.
3. Infrastructural facilities:
Infrastructural facilities consider availability of utilities like power water, disposal of waste etc. These form the life-blood of many types of industries without which there facilities may come to a stand still. Underestimating the need of anyone of the utilities can be extremely costly and inconvenient.
Certain industries, for example, aluminium, steel, etc are power intensive and must be located close to the sites of powergeneration failing which the shortage of, or increase in cost of generating power may spell problems for their survival.
Similarly, chemical process industries like paper and pulp, cement, steel, sugar laundries, metal plating, food preparationetc. requires perennial source of water. Mineral content of water may also be an important factor. Treatment of water is anexpense to be considered while comparing economics of different locations.
Drainage facilities are important for process industries otherwise disposal of process waster can create lot of difficulties.
4. Transport facilities:
Transportation cost to the value added is a key determinant of the plant location. The structure of the transportation costdepends on (i) Characteristics of the commodity (ii) average distance of shipment (iii) medium of shipment: rail, road, and airsea.
The need for transport arises because raw materials and fuel are to be moved to factory site and finished goods are to betransported from factory to markets. Other things being equal since transport cost has a major effect on product cost, theregions well served by transport facilities are most suitable for industrial locations.
5. Labour and wages:
Plant location should be such that required labour is easily available in the neighbourhood. Importing labour from outside isusually costly and it causes lot of administrative problems. Availability of required labour locally is better since problemof arranging accommodation and other related problems do not arise. Since normally workers with specific skills are required,some sort of training facility should also be available in the neighborhood. Skilled employees are easily available if ITI’s,or Engineering colleges are there in the neighbourhood.
6. Legislation and taxation:
The policies of the state Government and Local Bodies relating to issue of licenses, building codes, labour laws, etc. are thefactors in selecting/rejecting a particular community/site.
In order to disperse industries and ensure balanced economic growth, both Central and State government offer a package ofincentives for setting up industries in particular locations. Exemption from excise duty, sales tax and octroi, soft loansfrom financial institutions, subsidy in electricity charges, etc. are some of the incentives offered.
Since taxes and duties levied by the State Government and Local bodies substantially influence product cost, the incidence ofsuch taxes/levies must be taken into account while selecting a community/site.
7. Climatic conditions:
Climatic factors may not have a major influence these days because of modern air conditioning facilities available today.However, it may be important factor for certain industries like textile mills, which require high humidity.
8. Industrial and labour attitudes:
Community attitudes towards supporting hostile trade union activities are an important factor. Locating facilities in acertain region/community may not be desirable as frequent labour problems and interruptions are harmful to the plant in thelong run. Political situation in the state and attitude of the government towards labour activities also influences selectionof the site for the plant.
9. Safety requirement:
Safety factor may be important for certain industries such as:
- Nuclear power plants- Explosive factoriesLocation of such industries close to border areas is undesirable.
10. Community facilities (or social infrastructure):
Community facilities imply accommodation, educational, entertainment and transport facilities.
Accommodation is needed unless the employees are local residents. Accommodation should be easily available, comparativelycheap and near some public transport stop.The locational area should be fully developed, be accessible by road and should have a convenient and efficient publictransport system operating between the area and the township to enable employees, officials, customers and suppliers to makeeasy trips for their work
11. Community attitudes:
Community attitudes towards work (i.e. whether the people in the location are hard working or otherwise) as well as theirattitudes towards the incoming entrepreneurs (helpful and cooperative or otherwise) can make or mar an industry. Locationaldecisions, therefore, must take such factors also into account particularly while setting up labour intensive units.
12. Supporting industries and services:
Locational factors should also include proximity of services needed by the firm. A firm desirous of getting some or all partsmade from outside or some of the operations done from outside must see that such sub-contractors are located in theneighbourhood. Getting a job done from units located at far off places will mean not only additional transportation cost butalso time consuming and costly. Also if units are too far off, the control on quality of work done by them cannot beexercised.
13. Suitability of the land:
Site selection should also take into account topography and soil structure of the land. The soil structure must be capable ofbearing loads of foundations. Though modern building techniques can overcome the limitations of the soil, but if considerableimprovement is required then selection of a low cost and may ultimately turn out to be expensive.
14. Availability and cost of the land:
Site size (Plot size) must be large enough to accommodate the present production facilities, parking and access facilities butalso leave sufficient room for future expansion. As a general rule, a site five times the actual plant size is consideredminimum for all these things including future expansion.
ECONOMY SURVEY OF THE SITE SELECTION:
An ideal location is one where the cost of obtaining materials and processing them into finished product plus the cost ofdistributing the finished product to customers is minimum.
One of the most commonly used approaches consists of following steps:
Step 1: Prepare a list of all relevant factors.
Step 2: Estimate expenses on materials, transport, wages, power etc for each location on each of the above factors.
Step 3: Collect data on intangible factors like community facilities, community attitudes etc.
Step 4: Analyse the tangible data for each location and calculate rate of return on investment.
Step 5: Select provisionally a locational based on financial data.
Step 6: Compare the intangible data for the different locations and select the optimal location considering intangibledata.
Q.3) (b) What are objectives of a good layout? Discuss any six principles of a good layout?
Answer.3)(b)
OBJECTIVE OF A GOOD PLANT LAYOUT
Only through an efficient layout, the organization can attain the following objectives:
(i) Economy in handling of materials, work-in-process and finished goods.
(ii) Minimization of product delays.
(iii) Lesser work-in-progress and minimum manufacturing cycle time.
(iv) Efficient utilization of available space.
(v) Easy supervision and better production control.
(vi) Greater flexibility for changes in product design and for future expansion.
(vii) Better working conditions by eliminating causes of excessive noise, objectionable odor smoke etc.
PRINCIPLES OF A GOOD LAYOUT
(i) Overall integration of factors:A good layout is one that integrates men, materials, machines and supporting activities and others in a way that the bestcompromise is obtained
No layout can satisfy each and every principle of a good layout. Some criterion may conflict with some other criterion and asa result no layout can be ideal it has to integrate all factors into the best possible compromise.
(ii) Minimum movement:A good layout is one that permits the minimum movement between the operations.
The plant and machinery in case of product layout and departments in case of process layout should be arranged as persequence of operations of most of the products.
? Since straight line is the shortest distance between any two points, men and materials as far as possible should be madeto move along the straight path
A door may be made in a wall or a hole may be drilled in a ceiling if that eliminates or reduces material handling in place ofstairs or a distant door.
(iii) Uni-direction flow:A good layout is one that makes the materials move only in the forward direction, towards stage of completion, with anybacktracking.
? Since straight line is the shortest distance between any two, points, materials as far as possible should be made to moveon the principle of straight line flow. And when straight line flow is not possible, other flows like U-shaped flow, circularflow or zig zag flow may be adopted, but the layout may ensure that materials move in the forward direction (Fig 4.1)
? To ensure forward flow, equipment if necessary may be duplicated.
(iv) Effective use of available space:A good layout is one that makes effective use of available space both horizontal and vertical
• Backtracking and duplicated movements consume more time, involve un-necessary materials handling, add to cost and lead toinefficiency.
• Raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods should be piled vertically one above another rather than being strewnon the floor.
• Pallets or equivalents should be made use of to pile up several layers one above another
• Area below the work tables or in the cupboards built into the wall are welcome since they reduce requirement of space
(v) Maximum visibility:A good layout is one that makes men, machines and materials ready observable at all times.
• All departments should be smoothly integrated, convenient to service and easy to supervise
• Every piece of positioning or screening or partitioning should be scrutinized and carefully planned.
• Special cupboards, enclosures, offices, partitions etc. should be avoided except when their utility is established beyonddoubt.
(vi) Maximum accessibility:A good layout is one that makes all servicing and maintenance point readily accessible.
• Machines should be kept sufficiently apart and with reasonable clearance fromThe wall so that lubrication, adjustment and replacement of belts, removal of parts at the time of repairs etc can be doneconveniently by the maintenance staff.
Area in front of electrical panels and fire extinguishers should be kept free from obstructions.
Q.4) How does production planning differ from production control? What are the key functions of production planning andcontrol?
Answer.4)Production planning versus production control.
Planning (Planning the work) Control (Working the Plan)Planning involves collection and maintenance of data regarding time standards, materials and their specifications, machines andtheir quantities, tools and their process capabilities, drawings and operational layouts etc.
Planning is seeing that requirements tool, machines, men, instructions, authorization and the like-will be available at theright time and in the right quantities and are of proper quality.
Planning involves preparations of load charts and fitting various work orders into uncommitted time available on the company’sfacilities (men or machines).
Planning involves preparation of all necessary forms and paper work.
Planning involves designing suitable feed back as to what may happen.
Planning involves forwarding thinking regarding the remedial action to be taken if the job falls behind schedule.
Planning therefore is a centralizedActivity (in the office) and includes such functions as materials control, tools control, process planning and scheduling.
Control involves dissemination of data preparation of reports regarding output, machine and labour efficiency, percentdefectives etc.
Control is seeing the requirements are actually made available at the right place and in the right quantities.
Control involves actual seeing that the jobs are started and completed as per schedule prepared by the scheduling cell of thePPC.
Control involves actual issue of forms and paper work.
Control involves keeping track of what is happening and collecting information as to what has happened.
Control involves suggesting remedial action when the job is falling behind schedule.
Control is thus a diffused activity (in the shops) and includes functions such as dispatching, progressing and expediting.
FUNCTIONS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL:
Production planning and control is normally assigned two sets of functions:
(I)Regular functions and(ii) Optional functions.
(i) Regular functions are those, which are generally assigned to PPC in most of the organizations through the importance ofthe function, may vary from industry to industry.
(ii) Optional functions are those, which may be assigned to PPC depending upon policy of the management of the firm.
Common (or Regular Functions) Optional Functions
Order Preparation includes activities like making of work orders, converting work orders to shop orders, preparing auxiliaryorders and releasing such orders to those concerned to authorize their activities
Materials control concerns preparations of materials estimates, indenting non-stock materials, ascertaining availability ofmaterials purchased to stock, continual follow-up with purchase and stores for timely receipt of materials, and advising storesto allocate required quantities or available materials (alternatively on their receipt) against specific shop orders.
Process planning or Routing concerns fixation of method of manufacture: operations and their sequence, machine tool for eachoperation, jigs and fixtures, measuring instruments and gauges etc. to enable shops to produce goods of the right quality atthe lowest cost.
Tools control concerns preparations of estimates of cutting tools (Standards as week As non-standards tools), gauges andmeasuring instruments, jigs and fixtures etc indenting non-stick tooling: follow up with tool room for timely manufacture ofjigs and fixtures; periodical replenishment of worn-out-non-consumable tooling (e.g. work arbors, collets, copying masters,Allen keys, spanners, etc.
Scheduling concerns preparation of machine loads, fixation of calendar dates of various operations to be performed on a job,coordination with sales to confirm delivery dates of new items and periodical preparation of dispatch schedules of regularitems.
Dispatching concerns preparation and distribution of shop orders and manufacturing instructions to the concerned department astheir authority to perform the work according to the predetermined schedule.
Progressing concerns collection of data from manufacturing shops, recording of progress of work, and comparing progress againstthe plan.
Expediting concerns intensive progress chasing to identify delays and interruptions which may hold up production, devisingcures from time to time to keep rate of production in line with the schedule, communicating possible failure in deliverycommitments to Sales Department.
Cost Estimation concerns preparations ofPreproduction cost estimates to be used by sales department for quotation purposes (Alternatively this may be assigned toCosting Department Or Industrial Engineering Department)
Work measurement concern fixation of time to be allowed to a qualified workman to carry out a specific task, under specifiedconditions and at the defined level of performance. Work measurement employs scientific, well-known techniques like timestudy, work sampling standard data, production study, analytical estimating etc. (Alternatively, work measurement function maybe assigned to Industrial Engineering department.Sub-Contract concerns offloading of certain work on outside vendors for economic reasons or to augment the existingmanufacturing facilities (Sub-contract work alternatively) be handled by Materials/purchase Department)
Capacity planning concerns estimation of requirements of men and machines as the basis of decision making to meet the firm’sincreased volume of business (Some companies prefer to assign this function to Engineering department.
Demand forecasting concerns making projection of company’s product market. Though, long term forecasts are given by SalesDepartment but short term forecasts required for materials planning, machine loading, sub contracting etc may be prepared byPPC department
Q.12 (a) What is critical path? What does it signify? How is it identified?
Answer.2)(a)
Critical path analysis, an important aid to planning, scheduling and coordinating the activities if large scale projects. Is asynthesis of two independent techniques: Programme Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Method (CPM).Though the two techniques were developed independently, they are only superficially different. The two method have manyfeatures in common and are now combined into a technique called Critical Path Analysis (CPA) or Network Analysis.
There are three basic different between a PERT network and CPM network:
• PERT is event oriented while CPM is activity oriented (i.e. PERT prepares network from events while CPM builds if fromactivities)
• PERT provides for an allowance for uncertainty while CPM does not (i.e. PERT makes three time estimates for each activitywhile CPM makes one time estimate)
• Activity time in CPM technique are related to costs while it is not so in PERT since it is event oriented
Significance of critical path
Critical path analysis offers several advantages. It
(i) Forces through pre-planning. Each and every activity compromising the project is identified and recorded. Nothing isleft to memory or chance which prevents crises in scheduling(ii) Increases coordination of tasks as technological relationship between the activities suggests which activities can runsimultaneously and which should succeed others.
(iii) Helps computations of different project duration’s for different level of resources and thereby select a plan thatminimizes total project cost.(iv) Indicates optimal start and finish times of each activity of the project.(v) Defines areas of responsibility of different departmental heads for timely execution of the project.(vi) Facilitates progress reporting and limits unnecessary discussion at the progress meetings.(vii) Identifies troubles spot often in advance and apply remedial measures.(viii) Enables the plan to be revised in accordance with changes/changing circumstances.(ix) Helps to exercise “control by exception” and prevents cost overruns.
A Project comprises a series of activities and the identification of the individual activities requires knowledge andexperience of the men responsible for the planning of the project. Even the preliminaries-mere listing of the activities-makethe operating personnel:
• Think of details about the project well in advance.
• Observe critically the way in which the various activities interact or compete for scarce resources
• Improve upon the original plans even before network is formally drawn and analyzed.
A project, therefore, must be torn into a set of identifiable activities. There are no set rules but general guidelines are asunder:
• An activity should represent the smallest unit of the operation or set of operations over which management desirescontrol.
• An activity should represent an operation or set of operations, which can be performed using a particular kind ofequipment or a special skill. For example in construction project, plumbing is considered as one activity while wiring can beconsidered as another activity since the first activity requires plumbers and the second activity needs electricians.
Critical path is 1-3,3-5,5-6 and the duration for the project is 16 weeks (4+6+6)
Variance isVi = (b –a) X (b – a)

= 1.34
The approximate probability value when Z = 1.34 is 0.9099
?The probability of completion of critical path by the schedule time of 19 weeks = 91%
Q.5) What is preventive maintenance? Why it is better than Breakdown Maintenance? What are the key activities of PreventiveMaintenance?
Answer.5)
Preventive maintenance anticipates failures and adopts necessary actions to check failures before they occur. It includesactivities like inspection, lubrication cleaning and unkeeps, minor adjustments and replacements found necessary at the time ofinspection etc. Preventive maintenance can be either: running maintenance or “shut down maintenance”. Running maintenanceincludes maintenance activities (e.g. minor adjustments In machines revealed through inspections, lubrication, cleaning andunkeep etc.) Which are carried out when the machine is still running. Shutdown maintenance includes preventivemaintenance activities such as minor component replacement whose needs are identified through inspections, which requirestoppage of Machines. Preventive inspection is one of the key activities of preventive maintenance which is usuallyperformed by making use of human senses – watch) eye), listen (ear), Touch (hand, leg, body) smell (nose) and taste (tongue) –but the trend is Changing towards use of condition monitoring instruments. Such maintenance. Practice is known as predictivemaintenance or condition based maintenance.
Q.10) (a) What are X-R Charts? How are they made and used in controlling a process?
Answer.10)
X-R chart is a pair of chart consisting of a average (called X chart) and a rangeChart (called R chart) placed one below another on a piece of graph paper. The X chart is used to control the mean value ofthe characteristic an R-chart is used to restrict the range of variations in the values. X-R charts are drawn when thecharacteristics are measurable. Each chart consists of three values: a central line, upper control limit and lower controllimit. The central line represents the arithmetic average of the sample means which equals the mean of the population, u. Theupper and lower control limits are located at three standard deviation on either side of the central line.Samples of fixed size are drawn at regular intervals and measurements are taken. The samples wise values of the meanand range are plotted in their respective X and R charts.The spread of sample points in the charts is studied to decide the remedial action (if any) to be taken. The X chart analyseswhether or not the mean of the quality Characteristics is within control while R-chart analyses whether or not the variabilityis within control.
STEPS TO PREPARE X-R CHART
A pre-requisite to the preparation of the chart is the decision on the following aspects:
• Quality Characteristics refer to the property of the product, which is to be assessed. The quality characteristics mustbe capable of being measured. In case of more than quality characteristics, separate chart is made for each qualitycharacteristic.• Sample size refers to number of pieces comprising each sample. Sample size is an important decision. It is a commonpractice to use sample of n = 4 or 5 to have low appraisal cost. Large samples such as n = 15 or 20 are used if the processstandard deviation is large.• Sample Population refers to the number of samples to be collected to construct a control chart. The number of samplesmust be sufficient. Usually, 20 samples each of size 4 or 5 are enough to have good estimates of the process average (X) anddispersion (R).• Time Interval measures the time gap between consecutive samples. Time interval, as a genera rule, should be proportionalto the average frequency of out-of-control conditions. It is a fairly complex decision since a number of factors such as costeconomy, susceptibility of the process to disturbances; convenience of the inspector etc. requires to be considered.
The making of X-R Charts involves the following Steps:
Step 1: Collect Data
(a) Collect sufficient samples spread over a reasonable period. Each sample must be of equal size.(b) Measure each component comprising the sample for the given quality characteristic(c) Record individual measurements on a work data sheet.
Step 2: Calculate mean (X) and Range (R) of each sample
A The mean which is written as X (X bar) is average of each sample and isObtained by totaling the individual measurements of the units comprising the sample and dividing the total by the sample size(number of units in each sample)B The range, which is written as R, is obtained as the difference between the highest and the lowest measurement of asample.C The values of X and R are recorded sample wise either on the extreme right of the individual measurements on the datasheet or in a separate table.
Step 3: Calculate grand Average (X) and mean Range (R)
A The grand average, which is written as, X (X double bar) is the average of the sample averages and is obtained bydividing the total of the averages of all the samples by the total number of samples.B The mean range, which is written as, R (R bar) is the average of the ranges and is obtained by dividing the total of theranges of the samples by the total number of samples.
Step 4: Set up Control chart for the average
A Set up a control chart with the central line drawn at X (X double bar), upper control limit located X + A2R (R bar) andthe lower control limit set up at X-A2R.B Plot the averages to see whether the process was under control when samples were drawn.C If all points fall within the control limits, the process is said to be under controlD If process is not under control (indicated by some points falling outside the control limits), eliminate points outsidethe control limits and compute new trial control limits for the remaining points.E Repeat step 4 (d) until all points fall within the control limitsF Control limits in a particular situation should be revised from time to time as additional data is accumulated.
Step 5: Calculate control limits of the range chart
A The control chart for range chart is set up with central line as R, upper control limit (UCLR) located at D4R above thecentral line and lower control limit (LCL) at D3R below the central lineB Plot the value of the range of each sample.C If all points fall within the control limits no modification is necessary unless it is desired to reduce the processdispersionD if range chart exhibits lack of control indicated by some points falling outside the control limits, eliminate thosepoints out of control and compute new trial control limitsE Repeat step 5 (d) until all points fall within the control limits.F Control limits in a practical situation should be revised time to time as additional data is accumulated.
Step 6: Use control chart
A Collect samples of fixed size at specified intervals of time.B Measure each unit of the sample for the quality characteristics, calculate mean and the range of each sample.
C Plot the values of X and R of each sample in their respective chartsD Study the trend of the points to interpret and suggest remedial action
Q10 (b) ABC company produces a solvent, which must contain 3 percent of alcohol. It tries to maintain the actual percentage at3 + 0.3 percent. It tests hourly in samples of five. The following table shows the results of last five samples. Set up acontrol chart for mean and examine whether the process is under control.
A) Solution:(i) Collect data(ii) Calculate mean (X bar) and range(R bar)
Sample No. Arithmetic Mean (X bar) Range(R)
1 2.92 0.32 2.98 0.13 3.06 0.1
4 3 05 3 0.2
(iii) Calculate grand average and the mean range
X(X bar) = 2.92 + 2.98 + 3.06 + 3 + 35
= 2.992
R = 0.3 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0 + 0.25
= 0.14
(iv) Set Up control chart for the average
Central Line = CLx = X(X bar) = 2.992
Upper Control Limit = UCLx = X (X bar) + A2.R(R bar)
= 2.992 + 0.5768 x 0.14
= 3.476
Lower Control Limit = UCLx = X (X bar) - A2.R(R bar)
= 2.992 - 0.5768 x 0.14
= 2.507
(v) Set up a range chart
Central line CLR = R(R bar) = 0.14
Lower control limit = LCLR = D3.R (R bar)
= 0 x 0.14
= 0
Lower control limit = UCLR = D4.R (R bar)
= 2.114 x 0.14
= 0.29596
Q.6) What is method study? Describe the procedural steps to develop easier and effective methods.
Answer.6)
Method study is the systematic recording and critical examination of existing and proposed ways of doing work, as a means ofdeveloping and applying easier and more effective methods and reducing costs.
Method study is an organized approach and its investigation rests on the following six basic steps outlined in the blockdiagram• Select the work to be analyzed.• Record all facts relating to the existing method.• Examine the recorded facts critically but impartially.• Develop the most economical method commensurate with plant Requirements• Install the new method as standard practice.• Maintain the new method.
Selection of the job
Selections of the jobs to be studied for methods improvement by the method study practioner is a managerial responsibility andit (selection) may be based on economic technical or human consideration. Economic consideration justifies selection based onthe economic worth (i.e. money saving potential) of the job.Technical consideration identifies jobs, which require studies to overcome manufacturing difficulties (excessive rejection,relaxation in prefixed performance standards, inability if the shops to stick to specified machining parameters such as speeds,feeds, depth of cut etc., inconsistent quality etc.) Human consideration in job selection is usually given weightage whileintroducing method study practices for the first time.
Recording of facts
Systematic recording is the most crucial step in method improvement. Since recording by long hand (or by descriptive method)has its limitations, it is not recommended for use in method study. Instead, five symbols and eight charting conventions areused to record facts relating to the job under study. Five typical symbols are O, ||, ?, D and V and eight chartingconventions concern composition of the chart, reject, rework, repletion, change of state, introducing of new material, combinedevents and numbering of events. The document on which details of the process are recorded by the above referred symbols andconventions is called chart. There are four basic types of chart: (i) operation process chart (ii) Flow process chart (iii)multiple activity charts and (iv) two handed process chart.
Besides charts, two types of diagrams-flow diagram and string diagram are drawn when recording details of an existing layout.Travel chart is another typical chart, which is used to record frequency of movements (weight x distance) between workcentres/departments.
Repetitive short cycle operation which involves quick hand/feel motions (i.e. microscopic motions) may be studied with micromotion study. Glibreth, founder father of micro motion study, also developed photographic techniques called cyclograph andchronocylegraph to record path of the motions of the members of the body.
Critical examination
Critical examination aims to analyze the facts critically and thereby give rise to alternatives, which form the basis ofselection and development of easier, and effective methods.
Critical examination is conducted through a systematic and methodical questioning process. Each activity recorded on thechart, whether it relates to processing or inspection, or material handling, or to any other aspect, is picked up one at a timeand is examined minutely. The questioning process is considered under five major heads, namely the purpose, the place, thesequence, the person and the means. These five aspects in critical examination are referred to as five governingconsiderations.
Development and selection:
Development and selection stage concerns short listing of ideas generated at the critical examination stage, testing each shortlisted idea for its technical and economic feasibility, and making selection among the alternatives wherever choice exists. Todevelop ideas and to ascertain their technical and economical feasibility, the method study practioner needs to solicit thecooperation of personnel from different departments of the company. Various techniques available for the development andselection purpose are: cost benefit analysis, break even analysis, investment analysis and critical path analysis.
Installation
‘Installation’ (or implementation) of the proposed method involves preparation of project report on recommendations making oralpresentation to the top management, securing approval of the decision maker, assisting line management during implementation,arranging training of workmen, and getting jobs (operations) retime after implementation, arranging training of workmen, andgetting jobs (operations) retimed after implementation.
Maintenance
“ Maintenance” phase is the follow up phase after implementation, which serves as a monitoring and control mechanism. It helpsto ensure that the revised methods are set into concrete and workmen do not revert back to old methods. It also provides anopportunity to the practitioner to assess the effectiveness of the approach followed by him and makes changes in themethodology (if required).
Q.9) (a) What desirable conditions need to be present to be present to guarantee success of an incentive scheme?
Answer.9)
A good wage incentive plan should have the following characteristics.
• Administrative simplicity:The incentive system should be simple and must be easily understood by the workers and their representatives. An incentivesscheme, which can be understood, only by engineers and mathematicians or a scheme which involves the use of complex formulateor references and cross-references is sure to fail. The incentive scheme should be such that workmen can calculate their ownearnings easily and quickly.
• Minimum clerical work:The system should fit into existing system of production and cost control. It should not involve any significant addition tothe clerical work.
• Maximum coverage:The system should cover as many workmen as possible. A scheme if applied to a few workmen creates a demoralizing effect on themorale of those not covered by the scheme.
• DirectIncentive payments should increase at least in direct proportion to the increase in output by the operator. There are tworeasons:Firstly because it is more difficult to producer extra units and secondly because saving in the overheads are far greater athigher levels of production.
• Period of PaymentThe period of payment should be as short as possible
• Adequate guaranteed minimum hourly rateThe scheme must ensure adequate guaranteed minimum hourly rate to all incentive workers regardless of their output. Such anhourly guaranteed rate is normally referred to as the guaranteed base rate.The guaranteed base rate must be realistic and should be at least equal to the hourly rate payable to a non-incentive workerdoing similar job in the industry. Incentive earnings of the workers should never be regarded as a substitute for poor wages.
• Accurate and yet attainable performance standardsPerformance standards should be set through systematic work measurement studies. The experts to that there is no dispute ormalpractice and yet the standards are attainable so that a worker working at normal pace can attain them should base thestandards of measurement on the assessment.
Further the incentive plan should be such that it provides an opportunity to all average workers to earn reasonable earnings.
• Consistency of the standardsStandards once fixed should not be changed unless there is a permanent change in methods, or change in equipment, or change inmaterial and plan should provide for the provisions to modify the performance standards.
• Inbuilt check on process rejectionsA good incentive scheme should exercise a check on the operator against achieving higher bonus by poor workmanship. Paymentshould be made only for pieces declared acceptable by the inspection department and a workman constantly producing substandardpieces should be liable for disciplinary action.
• Payment of partially completed jobsThe problem of payment for the incomplete work arises only in case of long cycle jobs. Situations do arise when the jobs areof very long cycle duration and cannot be finished within the bonus period. Similarly, a semi-finished job may require to behanded over by one operator to another at the end of shift, or prior to having a holiday. The scheme should clearly spell out
as how assessment of work done by the workmen on the same job will be carried out and how disputes arising out of suchassessment would be resolved.
• Payment of Idle TimeAdequate safeguards must be provided to compensate the operator for the time lost due to reasons beyond his control. A goodincentive scheme should ensure that an operator does not suffer financial loss for reasons attributable to the managerialweakness, e.g.: lack of material due to bad buying, breakdowns of the machines due to poor maintenance practices, non-availability of work etc. Thus an operator rendered idle because of factors attributable to the management should be given alieu bonus.
• SafeguardsThe scheme should be fair not only to the employees but also to the employer. Safeguarding clauses as under should beincorporated to protect.
a. Management’s right to change a standard when there are changes in methods. Materials and machinesb. Management’s right to withdraw or discontinue temporarily a scheme during bad period.c. Management’s right to initiate disciplinary action against operators who continually produce sub-standard articles.d. Management’s right to initiate disciplinary action against employees who, time and again, do not achieve minimum standardof production even in the presence of fair and accurate standards.e. Management’s right to initiate disciplinary action against employees who, time and again are found using speeds and feedshigher than those recommended in the process sheet (or operational layouts)
• Maximum ceiling on the earningsThe system should have built-in-control against higher earnings beyond a certain limit. Firstly, the system should discourageworkers to work beyond a certain limit otherwise too attractive an incentive scheme may induce the worker to work more and moreand thereby adversely affect his health. Secondly, the system should ensure that in case of loose standards the company doesnot lose financially.
• Consistency of PlanThe plan should be consistent over a period of time. Frequent changes in the plan make it’s functioning difficult. Faith inplan is lost if there are frequent revisions.
• Acceptance of Labour BodyThe scheme should finally have acceptance of the labour body. The body of workers’ representatives to prevent anymisunderstanding and ill-feeling later on must accept the basic incentive plan and its provisions.
• Continuous UseThe scheme should be in continuous use. The temporary use of the scheme in good times and its discontinuation in bad timesmakes it’s functioning difficult.
• Define End ResultsThe plan must result in reduction in per unit labor cost.
Q 13)Answer 13)
i) Average Cycle time = 0.22 + 0.24 + 0.28 + 0.26 + 0.255
= 0.25
Normal Time = Observed time x Rating100
= 0.25 x 80100
= 0.2
Similarly, average cycle time and normal time for all the elements are calculated and tabulated as below
Element Avg. cycle time Rating Normal timeA 0.25 80 0.2B 0.15 100 0.15C 0.35 120 0.42D 0.102 90 0.0918E 0.12 100 0.12
Total Normal time = 0.2 + 0.15 + 0.42 + 0.0918 + 0.12
Total Normal time = 0.9818
ii) Relaxation Allowance = 15 x 0.9818100
= 0.1473
Contingency Allowance = 5 x 0.9818100
?Standard time = 0.0491
Normal time + Relaxation Allowance + Contingency Allowance
= 0.9818 + 0.1473 + 0.0491
?Standard time = 1.1782

ASSIGNMENT
Q.1) What is “Operations Management”? What are the objectives of OperationsManagement? Enlist key elements of Operations Management.
Answer.1)
An operation may be defined “as the process of changing inputs into outputs therebyadding value to some entity”.Right quality, right quantity, right time and right price arethe four basic requirements of the customers and as such they determine the extent ofcustomer satisfaction. And if these can be provided at a minimum cost, then the value ofgoods produced or services rendered increases. Thus the objectives of productionmanagement are “to produce goods and services of the right quality, in the rightquantities, according to the time schedule and a minimum cost”.
Objectives of production management may be amplified as under:
Producing the right kind of goods and services that satisfy customers’ needs(effectiveness objective).
Maximizing output of goods and services with minimum resource inputs (efficiencyobjective).
Ensuring that goods and services produced conform to pre-set quality specifications(quality objective).
Minimizing throughput-time- the time that elapses in the conversion process- by reducingdelays, waiting time and idle time (lead time objective).
Maximizing utilization of manpower, machines, etc. (Capacity utilization objective).
Minimizing cost of producing goods or rendering a service (Cost objective).
Key elements of Operations Management
1. Product selection and design
The right kind of products and good designs of the products are crucial for the success of anorganizing. A wrong selection of the product and/or poor design of the products can render thecompany’s operation ineffective and non-competitive. Products/services, therefore, must bechosen after detailed evaluation of the product/services alternatives in conformity with theorganization’s objectives. Techniques like value engineering may be employed in creatingalternate designs, which are free from unnecessary features and meet the intended functions at thelowest cost.
2. Process selection and planning
Selection of the optimal “conversion system” is as important as choice of products/services andtheir design. Process selection decisions include decisions concerning choice of technology,
Production / Operations Management—Page 2
Equipment, machines, material handling systems, mechanization and automation. Processplanning involves detailing of processes if resource conversion required and their sequence.
3 Facilities (Plant) location
Plant location decisions are strategic decisions and once plant is set up at a location, it iscomparatively immobile and can be shifted later only at a considerable cost and interruption ofproduction. Although problem of location choice does not fall within preview the productionfunction and it occurs infrequently, yet it is of crucial importance because of its major effect onthe performance of every department including production. Therefore, it is important to choosethe right location, which will minimize total “delivered customer” cost (Production anddistribution cost). Locational decisions involve evaluation of locational alternatives againstmultiplicity of relevant factors considering their relative importance to the organization andselecting those, which are operationally advantageous to the organization.
4. Facilities (Plant) layout and materials handling
Plant layout is concerned with relative location of one department (Work centre) with another inorder to facilitate material flow and processing of a product in the most efficient manner throughthe shortest possible time. A good layout reduces material handling cost, eliminates delays andcongestion, improves co-ordination, provide good housekeeping etc. while a poor layout resultsin congestion, waste, frustration, inefficiency and loss of profit.
5. Capacity Planning
Capacity planning concerns determination and acquisition of productive resource to ensure thattheir availability matches the demand. Capacity decisions have a directInfluence on performance of production system in respect of both resource productivity andcustomer service (i.e. delivery performance). Excess capacity results in low resource productivitywhile inadequate capacity leads to poor customer service. Capacity planning decisions can beshort-term decisions. Long-term capacity planning decisions concern expansion/contraction ofmajor facilities required in the conversion process, economics of multiple shift operation,development of vendors for major components etc. Short term capacity planning decisions concernissues like overtime working, sub-contracting, shift adjustments etc. Break even analysis is avaluable tool for capacity planning.
6. Production Planning and Control (PPC)
Production planning is the system for specifying the production procedure to obtain the desiredoutput in a given time at optimum cost in conformance with specified standard of quality, andcontrol is essential to ensure that manufacturing takes place in the manner stated in the plan.
7. Inventory control
Inventory control deals with determination of optimal inventory levels of raw materials,components, parts, tools; finished goods, spares and supplies to ensure their availability withminimum capital lock up. Material requirement planning (MRP) and just-in-Time (JIT) are thelatest techniques that can help the firm to reduce inventory.
Production / Operations Management—Page 3
8. Quality assurance and control
Quality is an important aspect of production system and it must ensure that services and productsproduced by the company conform to the declared quality standards at the minimum cost A totalquality assurance system includes such aspects as setting standards of quality, inspection ofpurchased and sub-contracted parts, control of quality during manufacture and inspection offinished product including performance testing etc.
9. Work study and job design
Work-study, also called time and motion study, is concerned with improvement of productivity inthe existing jobs and the maximization of productivity in the design of new jobs. Two principalcomponent of work-study are:
(i) Method study(ii) Work measurement
Method study has been defined (BS 3138) as the systematic recording and critical examinationof the existing and proposed ways of doing work, as a means of developing and applying easierand more effective methods and reducing costs. Method study when applied to productionmethods yields one or more of the following benefits:
Improved work environment Improved facility layout Better utilization of facilities Greater safety Lesser materials handling Smooth production flow Lower work-in-process Higher earnings for the workmen
10. Maintenance and replacement
Maintenance and replacement involve selection of optimal maintenance Preventive and/orbreakdown) policy to ensure higher equipment availability at minimum maintenance and repaircost. Preventive maintenance, which includes preventive inspection, planned lubrication,periodic cleaning and upkeep, planned replacement of parts, condition monitoring of theequipment and machines, etc. is most appropriate for critical machines.
11. Cost reduction and cost control
Effective production management must ensure minimum cost of production and in this contextcost reduction and cost control acquires significant importance. There are large number of toolsand techniques available that can help to make a heavy dent on the production cost.
Production / Operations Management—Page 4
Q.2) What is batch Production? What are its key characteristics? Compare thesecharacteristics with those of project production.
Answer.2)
Batch production is characterized by the manufacture of a limited number of a product(but many such quantities of different products) produced at periodic intervals and stocked inwarehouses as finished goods (or finished parts) awaiting sales (or withdrawal for assembly).Typical examples of batch production are: process industries such as pharmaceuticals, paints,chemicals; medium and heavy engineering industry engaged in the manufacture of electricmotors, switch gears, heavy motor vehicles, internal combustion engines; manufacture of readymade garments; manufacture of assembly shops such as machine tools; sub contractors whichtake on machining of batches of components to the drawings of a large manufacture etc.
Characteristics of batch production
(a) Short runs:Short production runs and frequent changes of set also characterize batch
production up. The equipment and the assembly set up is used for a limitednumber of parts or assemblies and is then changed to make a different product. Theproduction is generally made to stock.
(b) Skilled labour in specific trades:The labour force is expected to posses skill in one specific manufacturing
process, Turning, milling, drilling, welding, grinding, hobbing, fitting etc.
The operator may perform simpler machine set-ups but the separate machine tool setterperforms those involving complex operations.
(c) Supervision to possess knowledge of a specific processThe supervision has considerable knowledge of a specific process. Supervisor in
the grinding section for example, may not expert in turning and drilling work but sexpected to possess a find of knowledge of different types of grinding operations.
Similarly a supervisor in the gear shop is expected to have sound knowledge in workingof different types of gear cutting machines.
(d) Limited span of control:The amount of supervision required in batch production is lower than that of
jobbing production. The ration of direct workmen to supervisors is more or less afunction of batch size. The smaller the batches, the lower are the ratio of direct workersto supervisors, and vice versa. This is because smaller lots require each supervisor tospend a great deal of his time in allocating new work, giving instructions, follow up onthe shop floor for proper movement of materials from and to the machines, identifyingdelays and interruptions, and arranging, in consultation with planning, work load in hissection to keep his men busy.
(e) General purpose machines and process type of layoutPlant and equipment is procured and arranged to obtain maximum flexibility.
General purpose machines and handling equipment capable of performing variety of operationswith minimum set –up times are installed in lieu of variety of products. The machines are
Production / Operations Management—Page 5
arranged to give process layout-layout by function. Similar machines capable of doing similartypes of operations are grouped together and kept at one place. Presses for example, are puttogether and kept at one place milling machines are placed together at another place, drillingmachines are kept at the third place, gear cutting machines are located at the fourth place and soon. Each Group of machines is usually designated as a work centre or a section or a shop.
(f) Manual materials handling:Materials handling in batch production as compared to jobbing production are
small. Individual components and parts are placed in trolleys and trays and aretransported as unit loads. Materials handling may be mechanized by deploying powerdriven trucks.
(g) Manufacturing cycle time affected due to queues:The manufacture cycle time is comparatively smaller than jobbing production but
is much more than mass and flow production. The batches of work tend to queue up atdifferent machines due to differing cycles times, batch sizes and sequence of operations.
(h) Large work-in-progress:Work in progress is comparatively large due to varying work content of different
components, imbalance in manufacturing times, formation of queues between themachines.
(i) Flexibility of production schedules:Disruptions due to machine breakdown or absenteeism do not seriously affect
production as job can be shifted to another machine or another operator from anothermachine can be shifted.
(j) Need to have production planning and control:Functions of production planning and control in a batch production unit are more
complex than those in jobbing production or mass and flow production:
Materials control and tools control functions are important. Some kind of replenishmentsystem needs to be used to ensure routine replenishment
Detailed operational layout and route sheets are prepared for each part of the product.
Loading and scheduling needs to be more detailed and more sophisticated since everymachine requires to be individually scheduled.
Progressing function is very important to collect information on progress of work. Aseparate progress card needs to be maintained to record progress of each component.
Expediting is generally necessary since quite often jobs, due to imbalances in workcontent, tend to lag behind
Production / Operations Management—Page 6
Q.3) (a) Why are locational decisions important? What factors should be taken intoaccount while deciding location of a unit to manufacture washing machines?
Answer.3a)
Locational decisions generally arise when:
A new manufacturing (or servicing) unit is to be set up. Existing plant operations are difficult to expand due to poor selection of site earlier. The growth of the business makes it advisable to establish additional facilities in new
territories. There is emergence of new social (chronic labour problems) political (political instability
or economic conditions that suggest a change in the location of the existing plant. The product development has over weighted the advantages of the existing plant. The changes in the industrial Policy of the Government, favoring decentralizing and
dispersal of industries to achieve overall development of the country, do not permitexpansion of the existing plant
FACTORS GOVERNING PLANT LOCATION
Plant location studies are conducted in three phases:
(i) General territory selection(ii) Community selection, and(iii) Site selection
1. Proximity to market:
Every company is in business to market and it can survive only if their product reaches theconsumers on time and at the competitive price. The ratio of selling costs to sales generallyincreases with distance. Therefore, in the choice of location o the plant, the factor of “proximityto the market” is given the highest priority. Locating a plant nearer to the market is preferred if:
The product is fragile. The product is susceptible to spoilage. The promptness of service is required. The product is relatively inexpensive and transportation costs add significantly to the
cost.
Bread, soap factories, etc. require the market to be nearby. If factory cannot be started inBombay, it may be started in Thane, Kalyan or Poona. If the product is exported, location nearports is desirable. This is particularly important for producers who sell bulky commodities,which incur high transportation costs
Production / Operations Management—Page 7
Nearness to market not only lowers transportation costs but also gives many other benefitsnamely:
A good many administrative problems, which cause perpetual headaches and add tocosts, are avoided.
Liaison with dealers or whole sellers can be maintained economically and easily Other costs such as commission to middlemen, which at times run as high as 20 to 50
percent can be reduced significantly. Customer’s accounts do not remain outstanding for settlement. This recovery is easy and
less time saving which itself reduces selling costs.
2. Proximity to source of raw materials:
Since raw materials usually constitute 50 to 60 percent of the total product cost, it is importantthat the firm gets its requirements of raw materials at the right time and at the reasonable price forwhich the plant must be located in the neighborhood of some source which can meet the rawmaterials requirement of the unit “Proximity to supply of raw materials” factor assumes stillgreater importance if raw materials are of perishable nature or if they are expensive to transport,or if their weight is substantially reduced by processing.
Proximity to sources of raw materials is equally important for small units. This is becauseusually small units are not considered important customers. They get least priority and in theevent of scarcity are the one to be struck off first from the list. The availability of materials tosmall units to a large extent thus depends on their follow up and personal visits to the supplier’splant which is possible only if the buyer’s plant is close by.
3. Infrastructural facilities:
Infrastructural facilities consider availability of utilities like power water, disposal of waste etc.These form the life-blood of many types of industries without which there facilities may come toa stand still. Underestimating the need of any one of the utilities can be extremely costly andinconvenient.
Certain industries, for example, aluminium, steel, etc are power intensive and must be locatedclose to the sites of power generation failing which the shortage of, or increase in cost ofgenerating power may spell problems for their survival.
Similarly, chemical process industries like paper and pulp, cement, steel, sugar laundries, metalplating, food preparation etc. requires perennial source of water. Mineral content of water mayalso be an important factor. Treatment of water is an expense to be considered while comparingeconomics of different locations.
Drainage facilities are important for process industries otherwise disposal of process waster cancreate lot of difficulties.
4. Transport facilities:
Transportation cost to the value added is a key determinant of the plant location. The structure ofthe transportation cost depends on (i) Characteristics of the commodity (ii) average distance ofshipment (iii) medium of shipment: rail, road, and air sea.
Production / Operations Management—Page 8
The need for transport arises because raw materials and fuel are to be moved to factory site andfinished goods are to be transported from factory to markets. Other things being equal sincetransport cost has a major effect on product cost, the regions well served by transport facilities aremost suitable for industrial locations.
5. Labour and wages:
Plant location should be such that required labour is easily available in the neighbourhood.Importing labour from outside is usually costly and it causes lot of administrative problems.Availability of required labour locally is better since problem of arranging accommodation andother related problems do not arise. Since normally workers with specific skills are required,some sort of training facility should also be available in the neighborhood. Skilled employees areeasily available if ITI’s, or Engineering colleges are there in the neighbourhood.
6. Legislation and taxation:
The policies of the state Government and Local Bodies relating to issue of licenses, buildingcodes, labour laws, etc. are the factors in selecting/rejecting a particular community/site.
In order to disperse industries and ensure balanced economic growth, both Central and Stategovernment offer a package of incentives for setting up industries in particular locations.Exemption from excise duty, sales tax and octroi, soft loans from financial institutions, subsidy inelectricity charges, etc. are some of the incentives offered.
Since taxes and duties levied by the State Government and Local bodies substantially influenceproduct cost, the incidence of such taxes/levies must be taken into account while selecting acommunity/site.
7. Climatic conditions:
Climatic factors may not have a major influence these days because of modern air conditioningfacilities available today. However, it may be important factor for certain industries like textilemills, which require high humidity.
8. Industrial and labour attitudes:
Community attitudes towards supporting hostile trade union activities are an important factor.Locating facilities in a certain region/community may not be desirable as frequent labourproblems and interruptions are harmful to the plant in the long run. Political situation in the stateand attitude of the government towards labour activities also influences selection of the site forthe plant.
9. Safety requirement:
Safety factor may be important for certain industries such as:
- Nuclear power plants- Explosive factories
Location of such industries close to border areas is undesirable.
Production / Operations Management—Page 9
10. Community facilities (or social infrastructure):
Community facilities imply accommodation, educational, entertainment and transport facilities.
Accommodation is needed unless the employees are local residents. Accommodation should beeasily available, comparatively cheap and near some public transport stop.The locational area should be fully developed, be accessible by road and should have aconvenient and efficient public transport system operating between the area and the township toenable employees, officials, customers and suppliers to make easy trips for their work
11. Community attitudes:
Community attitudes towards work (i.e. whether the people in the location are hard working orotherwise) as well as their attitudes towards the incoming entrepreneurs (helpful and cooperativeor otherwise) can make or mar an industry. Locational decisions, therefore, must take suchfactors also into account particularly while setting up labour intensive units.
12. Supporting industries and services:
Locational factors should also include proximity of services needed by the firm. A firm desirousof getting some or all parts made from outside or some of the operations done from outside mustsee that such sub-contractors are located in the neighbourhood. Getting a job done from unitslocated at far off places will mean not only additional transportation cost but also time consumingand costly. Also if units are too far off, the control on quality of work done by them cannot beexercised.
13. Suitability of the land:
Site selection should also take into account topography and soil structure of the land. The soilstructure must be capable of bearing loads of foundations. Though modern building techniquescan overcome the limitations of the soil, but if considerable improvement is required thenselection of a low cost and may ultimately turn out to be expensive.
14. Availability and cost of the land:
Site size (Plot size) must be large enough to accommodate the present production facilities,parking and access facilities but also leave sufficient room for future expansion. As a generalrule, a site five times the actual plant size is considered minimum for all these things includingfuture expansion.
Production / Operations Management—Page 10
ECONOMY SURVEY OF THE SITE SELECTION:
An ideal location is one where the cost of obtaining materials and processing them into finishedproduct plus the cost of distributing the finished product to customers is minimum.
One of the most commonly used approaches consists of following steps:
Step 1: Prepare a list of all relevant factors.
Step 2: Estimate expenses on materials, transport, wages, power etc for each location oneach of the above factors.
Step 3: Collect data on intangible factors like community facilities, community attitudes etc.
Step 4: Analyse the tangible data for each location and calculate rate of return oninvestment.
Step 5: Select provisionally a locational based on financial data.
Step 6: Compare the intangible data for the different locations and select the optimallocation considering intangible data.

Q.3) (b) What are objectives of a good layout? Discuss any six principles of a good layout?
Answer.3)(b)
OBJECTIVE OF A GOOD PLANT LAYOUT
Only through an efficient layout, the organization can attain the following objectives:
(i) Economy in handling of materials, work-in-process and finished goods.
(ii) Minimization of product delays.
(iii) Lesser work-in-progress and minimum manufacturing cycle time.
(iv) Efficient utilization of available space.
(v) Easy supervision and better production control.
(vi) Greater flexibility for changes in product design and for future expansion.
(vii) Better working conditions by eliminating causes of excessive noise, objectionable odorsmoke etc.
PRINCIPLES OF A GOOD LAYOUT
(i) Overall integration of factors:A good layout is one that integrates men, materials, machines and supporting
activities and others in a way that the best compromise is obtained
No layout can satisfy each and every principle of a good layout. Some criterion mayconflict with some other criterion and as a result no layout can be ideal it has tointegrate all factors into the best possible compromise.
(ii) Minimum movement:A good layout is one that permits the minimum movement between theoperations.
The plant and machinery in case of product layout and departments in case ofprocess layout should be arranged as per sequence of operations of most of theproducts.
Since straight line is the shortest distance between any two points, menand materials as far as possible should be made to move along thestraight path
A door may be made in a wall or a hole may be drilled in a ceiling if that eliminates orreduces material handling in place of stairs or a distant door.
Production / Operations Management—Page 12
(iii) Uni-direction flow:A good layout is one that makes the materials move only in the forward
direction, towards stage of completion, with any backtracking.
Since straight line is the shortest distance between any two, points,materials as far as possible should be made to move on the principle ofstraight line flow. And when straight line flow is not possible, otherflows like U-shaped flow, circular flow or zig zag flow may be adopted,but the layout may ensure that materials move in the forward direction(Fig 4.1)
To ensure forward flow, equipment if necessary may be duplicated.
(iv) Effective use of available space:A good layout is one that makes effective use of available space bothhorizontal and vertical
Backtracking and duplicated movements consume more time, involve un-necessarymaterials handling, add to cost and lead to inefficiency.
Raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods should be piled vertically one aboveanother rather than being strewn on the floor.
Pallets or equivalents should be made use of to pile up several layers one above another
Area below the work tables or in the cupboards built into the wall are welcome since theyreduce requirement of space
(v) Maximum visibility:A good layout is one that makes men, machines and materials ready observable at all
times.
All departments should be smoothly integrated, convenient to service and easy tosupervise
Every piece of positioning or screening or partitioning should be scrutinized and carefullyplanned.
Special cupboards, enclosures, offices, partitions etc. should be avoided except whentheir utility is established beyond doubt.
(vi) Maximum accessibility:A good layout is one that makes all servicing and maintenance point readily
accessible.
Machines should be kept sufficiently apart and with reasonable clearance fromThe wall so that lubrication, adjustment and replacement of belts, removal of parts at thetime of repairs etc can be done conveniently by the maintenance staff.
Area in front of electrical panels and fire extinguishers should be kept free fromobstructions.
Production / Operations Management—Page 13
Q.4) How does production planning differ from production control? What are the keyfunctions of production planning and control?
Answer.4)Production planning versus production control.
Planning (Planning the work) Control (Working the Plan)
Planning involves collection and maintenanceof data regarding time standards, materials andtheir specifications, machines and theirquantities, tools and their process capabilities,drawings and operational layouts etc.
Planning is seeing that requirements tool,machines, men, instructions, authorization andthe like-will be available at the right time andin the right quantities and are of proper quality.
Planning involves preparations of load chartsand fitting various work orders intouncommitted time available on the company’sfacilities (men or machines).
Planning involves preparation of all necessaryforms and paper work.
Planning involves designing suitable feed backas to what may happen.
Planning involves forwarding thinkingregarding the remedial action to be taken if thejob falls behind schedule.
Planning therefore is a centralizedActivity (in the office) and includes suchfunctions as materials control, tools control,process planning and scheduling.
Control involves dissemination of datapreparation of reports regarding output,machine and labour efficiency, percentdefectives etc.
Control is seeing the requirements are actuallymade available at the right place and in theright quantities.
Control involves actual seeing that the jobs arestarted and completed as per schedule preparedby the scheduling cell of the PPC.
Control involves actual issue of forms andpaper work.
Control involves keeping track of what ishappening and collecting information as towhat has happened.
Control involves suggesting remedial actionwhen the job is falling behind schedule.
Control is thus a diffused activity (in the shops)and includes functions such as dispatching,progressing and expediting.
Production / Operations Management—Page 14
FUNCTIONS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL:
Production planning and control is normally assigned two sets of functions:(I)Regular functions and(ii) Optional functions.
(i) Regular functions are those, which are generally assigned to PPC in most of theorganizations through the importance of the function, may vary from industry toindustry.
(ii) Optional functions are those, which may be assigned to PPC depending upon policyof the management of the firm.
Common (or Regular Functions) Optional Functions
Order Preparation includes activities likemaking of work orders, converting work ordersto shop orders, preparing auxiliary orders andreleasing such orders to those concerned toauthorize their activities
Materials control concerns preparations ofmaterials estimates, indenting non-stockmaterials, ascertaining availability of materialspurchased to stock, continual follow-up withpurchase and stores for timely receipt ofmaterials, and advising stores to allocaterequired quantities or available materials(alternatively on their receipt) against specificshop orders.
Process planning or Routing concerns fixationof method of manufacture: operations and theirsequence, machine tool for each operation, jigsand fixtures, measuring instruments and gaugesetc. to enable shops to produce goods of theright quality at the lowest cost.
Tools control concerns preparations ofestimates of cutting tools (Standards as weekAs non-standards tools), gauges and measuringinstruments, jigs and fixtures etc indenting non-stick tooling: follow up with tool room fortimely manufacture of jigs and fixtures;periodical replenishment of worn-out-non-consumable tooling (e.g. work arbors, collets,copying masters, Allen keys, spanners, etc.
Cost Estimation concerns preparations ofPreproduction cost estimates to be used bysales department for quotation purposes(Alternatively this may be assigned to CostingDepartment Or Industrial EngineeringDepartment)
Work measurement concern fixation of time tobe allowed to a qualified workman to carry outa specific task, under specified conditions andat the defined level of performance. Workmeasurement employs scientific, well-knowntechniques like time study, work samplingstandard data, production study, analyticalestimating etc. (Alternatively, workmeasurement function may be assigned toIndustrial Engineering department.Sub-Contract concerns offloading of certainwork on outside vendors for economic reasonsor to augment the existing manufacturingfacilities (Sub-contract work alternatively) behandled by Materials/purchase Department)
Capacity planning concerns estimation ofrequirements of men and machines as the basisof decision making to meet the firm’s increasedvolume of business (Some companies prefer toassign this function to Engineering department.
Production / Operations Management—Page 15
Scheduling concerns preparation of machineloads, fixation of calendar dates of variousoperations to be performed on a job,coordination with sales to confirm deliverydates of new items and periodical preparationof dispatch schedules of regular items.
Dispatching concerns preparation anddistribution of shop orders and manufacturinginstructions to the concerned department astheir authority to perform the work accordingto the predetermined schedule.
Progressing concerns collection of data frommanufacturing shops, recording of progress ofwork, and comparing progress against the plan.
Expediting concerns intensive progress chasingto identify delays and interruptions which mayhold up production, devising cures from time totime to keep rate of production in line with theschedule, communicating possible failure indelivery commitments to Sales Department.
Demand forecasting concerns makingprojection of company’s product market.Though, long term forecasts are given by SalesDepartment but short term forecasts requiredfor materials planning, machine loading, subcontracting etc may be prepared by PPCdepartment
Production / Operations Management—Page 16
Q.12 (a) What is critical path? What does it signify? How is it identified?
Answer.2)(a)
Critical path analysis, an important aid to planning, scheduling and coordinating theactivities if large scale projects. Is a synthesis of two independent techniques: ProgrammeEvaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Method (CPM).Though the two techniques were developed independently, they are only superficially different.The two method have many features in common and are now combined into a technique calledCritical Path Analysis (CPA) or Network Analysis.
There are three basic different between a PERT network and CPM network:
PERT is event oriented while CPM is activity oriented (i.e. PERT prepares network fromevents while CPM builds if from activities)
PERT provides for an allowance for uncertainty while CPM does not (i.e. PERT makesthree time estimates for each activity while CPM makes one time estimate)
Activity time in CPM technique are related to costs while it is not so in PERT since it isevent oriented
Significance of critical path
Critical path analysis offers several advantages. It
(i) Forces through pre-planning. Each and every activity compromising the project isidentified and recorded. Nothing is left to memory or chance which prevents crisesin scheduling
(ii) Increases coordination of tasks as technological relationship between the activitiessuggests which activities can run simultaneously and which should succeed others.
(iii) Helps computations of different project duration’s for different level of resources andthereby select a plan that minimizes total project cost.
(iv) Indicates optimal start and finish times of each activity of the project.(v) Defines areas of responsibility of different departmental heads for timely execution
of the project.(vi) Facilitates progress reporting and limits unnecessary discussion at the progress
meetings.(vii) Identifies troubles spot often in advance and apply remedial measures.(viii) Enables the plan to be revised in accordance with changes/changing circumstances.(ix) Helps to exercise “control by exception” and prevents cost overruns.
A Project comprises a series of activities and the identification of the individual activities requiresknowledge and experience of the men responsible for the planning of the project. Even thepreliminaries-mere listing of the activities-make the operating personnel:
Think of details about the project well in advance.
Observe critically the way in which the various activities interact or compete for scarceresources
Production / Operations Management—Page 17
Improve upon the original plans even before network is formally drawn and analyzed.
A project, therefore, must be torn into a set of identifiable activities. There are no set rules butgeneral guidelines are as under:
An activity should represent the smallest unit of the operation or set of operations overwhich management desires control.
An activity should represent an operation or set of operations, which can be performedusing a particular kind of equipment or a special skill. For example in
construction project, plumbing is considered as one activity while wiring can beconsidered as another activity since the first activity requires plumbers and the secondactivity needs electricians.

Q.5) What is preventive maintenance? Why it is better than Breakdown Maintenance?What are the key activities of Preventive Maintenance?
Answer.5)
Preventive maintenance anticipates failures and adopts necessary actions to checkfailures before they occur. It includes activities like inspection, lubrication cleaning and unkeeps,minor adjustments and replacements found necessary at the time of inspection etc. Preventivemaintenance can be either: running maintenance or “shut down maintenance”. Runningmaintenance includes maintenance activities (e.g. minor adjustments In machines revealedthrough inspections, lubrication, cleaning and unkeep etc.) Which are carried out when themachine is still running. Shutdown maintenance includes preventive maintenance activities suchas minor component replacement whose needs are identified through inspections, which requirestoppage of Machines. Preventive inspection is one of the key activities of preventivemaintenance which is usually performed by making use of human senses – watch) eye),listen (ear), Touch (hand, leg, body) smell (nose) and taste (tongue) – but the trend is Changingtowards use of condition monitoring instruments. Such maintenance. Practice is known aspredictive maintenance or condition based maintenance.

Q.10) (a) What are X-R Charts? How are they made and used in controlling a process?
Answer.10)
X-R chart is a pair of chart consisting of a average (called X chart) and a rangeChart (called R chart) placed one below another on a piece of graph paper. The X chart is used tocontrol the mean value of the characteristic an R-chart is used to restrict the range of variations inthe values. X-R charts are drawn when the characteristics are measurable. Each chart consists ofthree values: a central line, upper control limit and lower control limit. The central line representsthe arithmetic average of the sample means which equals the mean of the population, u. Theupper and lower control limits are located at three standard deviation on either side of the centralline.Samples of fixed size are drawn at regular intervals and measurements are taken. Thesamples wise values of the mean and range are plotted in their respective X and R charts.The spread of sample points in the charts is studied to decide the remedial action (if any) to betaken. The X chart analyses whether or not the mean of the quality Characteristics is withincontrol while R-chart analyses whether or not the variability is within control.
STEPS TO PREPARE X-R CHART
A pre-requisite to the preparation of the chart is the decision on the following aspects:
Quality Characteristics refer to the property of the product, which is to be assessed. Thequality characteristics must be capable of being measured. In case of more than qualitycharacteristics, separate chart is made for each quality characteristic.
Sample size refers to number of pieces comprising each sample. Sample size is animportant decision. It is a common practice to use sample of n = 4 or 5 to have lowappraisal cost. Large samples such as n = 15 or 20 are used if the process standarddeviation is large.
Sample Population refers to the number of samples to be collected to construct a controlchart. The number of samples must be sufficient. Usually, 20 samples each of size 4 or 5are enough to have good estimates of the process average (X) and dispersion (R).
Time Interval measures the time gap between consecutive samples. Time interval, as agenera rule, should be proportional to the average frequency of out-of-control conditions.It is a fairly complex decision since a number of factors such as cost economy,susceptibility of the process to disturbances; convenience of the inspector etc. requires tobe considered.
The making of X-R Charts involves the following Steps:
Step 1: Collect Data
(a) Collect sufficient samples spread over a reasonable period. Each sample must beof equal size.
(b) Measure each component comprising the sample for the given qualitycharacteristic
(c) Record individual measurements on a work data sheet.
Step 2: Calculate mean (X) and Range (R) of each sample
A The mean which is written as X (X bar) is average of each sample and is
Production / Operations Management—Page 22
Obtained by totaling the individual measurements of the units comprising thesample and dividing the total by the sample size (number of units in each sample)
B The range, which is written as R, is obtained as the difference between thehighest and the lowest measurement of a sample.
C The values of X and R are recorded sample wise either on the extreme right ofthe individual measurements on the data sheet or in a separate table.
Step 3: Calculate grand Average (X) and mean Range (R)
A The grand average, which is written as, X (X double bar) is the average of thesample averages and is obtained by dividing the total of the averages of all thesamples by the total number of samples.
B The mean range, which is written as, R (R bar) is the average of the ranges and isobtained by dividing the total of the ranges of the samples by the total number ofsamples.
Step 4: Set up Control chart for the average
A Set up a control chart with the central line drawn at X (X double bar), uppercontrol limit located X + A2R (R bar) and the lower control limit set up at X-A2R.
B Plot the averages to see whether the process was under control when sampleswere drawn.
C If all points fall within the control limits, the process is said to be under controlD If process is not under control (indicated by some points falling outside the
control limits), eliminate points outside the control limits and compute new trialcontrol limits for the remaining points.
E Repeat step 4 (d) until all points fall within the control limitsF Control limits in a particular situation should be revised from time to time as
additional data is accumulated.
Step 5: Calculate control limits of the range chart
A The control chart for range chart is set up with central line as R, upper controllimit (UCLR) located at D4R above the central line and lower control limit(LCL) at D3R below the central line
B Plot the value of the range of each sample.C If all points fall within the control limits no modification is necessary unless it is
desired to reduce the process dispersionD if range chart exhibits lack of control indicated by some points falling outside the
control limits, eliminate those points out of control and compute new trial controllimits
E Repeat step 5 (d) until all points fall within the control limits.F Control limits in a practical situation should be revised time to time as
additional data is accumulated.
Production / Operations Management—Page 23
Step 6: Use control chart
A Collect samples of fixed size at specified intervals of time.B Measure each unit of the sample for the quality characteristics, calculate mean
and the range of each sample.
C Plot the values of X and R of each sample in their respective chartsD Study the trend of the points to interpret and suggest remedial action
Q10 (b) ABC company produces a solvent, which must contain 3 percent of alcohol. It triesto maintain the actual percentage at 3 + 0.3 percent. It tests hourly in samples of five. Thefollowing table shows the results of last five samples. Set up a control chart for mean andexamine whether the process is under control.
A) Solution:(i) Collect data(ii) Calculate mean (X bar) and range(R bar)
Sample No. Arithmetic Mean (X bar) Range(R)
1 2.92 0.32 2.98 0.13 3.06 0.14 3 05 3 0.2
(iii) Calculate grand average and the mean range
X(X bar) = 2.92 + 2.98 + 3.06 + 3 + 35
= 2.992
R = 0.3 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0 + 0.25
= 0.14
Production / Operations Management—Page 24
(iv) Set Up control chart for the average
Central Line = CLx = X(X bar) = 2.992
Upper Control Limit = UCLx = X (X bar) + A2.R(R bar)
= 2.992 + 0.5768 x 0.14
= 3.476
Lower Control Limit = UCLx = X (X bar) - A2.R(R bar)
= 2.992 - 0.5768 x 0.14
= 2.507
(v) Set up a range chart
Central line CLR = R(R bar) = 0.14
Lower control limit = LCLR = D3.R (R bar)
= 0 x 0.14
= 0
Lower control limit = UCLR = D4.R (R bar)
= 2.114 x 0.14
= 0.29596

Q.6) What is method study? Describe the procedural steps to develop easier and effectivemethods.
Answer.6)
Method study is the systematic recording and critical examination of existing andproposed ways of doing work, as a means of developing and applying easier and more effectivemethods and reducing costs.
Method study is an organized approach and its investigation rests on the following six basic stepsoutlined in the block diagram
Select the work to be analyzed. Record all facts relating to the existing method. Examine the recorded facts critically but impartially. Develop the most economical method commensurate with plant Requirements Install the new method as standard practice. Maintain the new method.
Selection of the job
Selections of the jobs to be studied for methods improvement by the method studypractioner is a managerial responsibility and it (selection) may be based on economictechnical or human consideration. Economic consideration justifies selection based onthe economic worth (i.e. money saving potential) of the job.Technical consideration identifies jobs, which require studies to overcome manufacturingdifficulties (excessive rejection, relaxation in prefixed performance standards, inability ifthe shops to stick to specified machining parameters such as speeds, feeds, depth of cutetc., inconsistent quality etc.) Human consideration in job selection is usually givenweightage while introducing method study practices for the first time.
Recording of facts
Systematic recording is the most crucial step in method improvement. Since recordingby long hand (or by descriptive method) has its limitations, it is not recommended for usein method study. Instead, five symbols and eight charting conventions are used to recordfacts relating to the job under study. Five typical symbols are O, ||, , D and V and eightcharting conventions concern composition of the chart, reject, rework, repletion, changeof state, introducing of new material, combined events and numbering of events. Thedocument on which details of the process are recorded by the above referred symbols andconventions is called chart. There are four basic types of chart: (i) operation processchart (ii) Flow process chart (iii) multiple activity charts and (iv) two handed processchart.
Besides charts, two types of diagrams-flow diagram and string diagram are drawn whenrecording details of an existing layout. Travel chart is another typical chart, which isused to record frequency of movements (weight x distance) between workcentres/departments.
Production / Operations Management—Page 26
Repetitive short cycle operation which involves quick hand/feel motions (i.e. microscopicmotions) may be studied with micro motion study. Glibreth, founder father of micromotion study, also developed photographic techniques called cyclograph andchronocylegraph to record path of the motions of the members of the body.
Critical examination
Critical examination aims to analyze the facts critically and thereby give rise toalternatives, which form the basis of selection and development of easier, and effectivemethods.
Critical examination is conducted through a systematic and methodical questioningprocess. Each activity recorded on the chart, whether it relates to processing orinspection, or material handling, or to any other aspect, is picked up one at a time and isexamined minutely. The questioning process is considered under five major heads,namely the purpose, the place, the sequence, the person and the means. These fiveaspects in critical examination are referred to as five governing considerations.
Development and selection:
Development and selection stage concerns short listing of ideas generated at the criticalexamination stage, testing each short listed idea for its technical and economic feasibility,and making selection among the alternatives wherever choice exists. To develop ideasand to ascertain their technical and economical feasibility, the method study practionerneeds to solicit the cooperation of personnel from different departments of the company.Various techniques available for the development and selection purpose are: cost benefitanalysis, break even analysis, investment analysis and critical path analysis.
Installation
‘Installation’ (or implementation) of the proposed method involves preparation of projectreport on recommendations making oral presentation to the top management, securingapproval of the decision maker, assisting line management during implementation,arranging training of workmen, and getting jobs (operations) retime after implementation,arranging training of workmen, and getting jobs (operations) retimed afterimplementation.
Maintenance
“ Maintenance” phase is the follow up phase after implementation, which serves as amonitoring and control mechanism. It helps to ensure that the revised methods are setinto concrete and workmen do not revert back to old methods. It also provides anopportunity to the practitioner to assess the effectiveness of the approach followed byhim and makes changes in the methodology (if required).
Production / Operations Management—Page 27
Q.9) (a) What desirable conditions need to be present to be present to guarantee success ofan incentive scheme?
Answer.9)
A good wage incentive plan should have the following characteristics.
Administrative simplicity:The incentive system should be simple and must be easily understood by the workers andtheir representatives. An incentives scheme, which can be understood, only by engineers andmathematicians or a scheme which involves the use of complex formulate or references andcross-references is sure to fail. The incentive scheme should be such that workmen cancalculate their own earnings easily and quickly.
Minimum clerical work:The system should fit into existing system of production and cost control. It should notinvolve any significant addition to the clerical work.
Maximum coverage:The system should cover as many workmen as possible. A scheme if applied to a fewworkmen creates a demoralizing effect on the morale of those not covered by the scheme.
DirectIncentive payments should increase at least in direct proportion to the increase in output bythe operator. There are two reasons:Firstly because it is more difficult to producer extra units and secondly because saving in theoverheads are far greater at higher levels of production.
Period of PaymentThe period of payment should be as short as possible
Adequate guaranteed minimum hourly rateThe scheme must ensure adequate guaranteed minimum hourly rate to all incentive workersregardless of their output. Such an hourly guaranteed rate is normally referred to as theguaranteed base rate.The guaranteed base rate must be realistic and should be at least equal to the hourly ratepayable to a non-incentive worker doing similar job in the industry. Incentive earnings of theworkers should never be regarded as a substitute for poor wages.
Accurate and yet attainable performance standardsPerformance standards should be set through systematic work measurement studies. Theexperts to that there is no dispute or malpractice and yet the standards are attainable so that aworker working at normal pace can attain them should base the standards of measurement onthe assessment.
Production / Operations Management—Page 28
Further the incentive plan should be such that it provides an opportunity to all averageworkers to earn reasonable earnings.
Consistency of the standardsStandards once fixed should not be changed unless there is a permanent change in methods,or change in equipment, or change in material and plan should provide for the provisions tomodify the performance standards.
Inbuilt check on process rejectionsA good incentive scheme should exercise a check on the operator against achieving higherbonus by poor workmanship. Payment should be made only for pieces declared acceptableby the inspection department and a workman constantly producing substandard pieces shouldbe liable for disciplinary action.
Payment of partially completed jobsThe problem of payment for the incomplete work arises only in case of long cycle jobs.Situations do arise when the jobs are of very long cycle duration and cannot be finishedwithin the bonus period. Similarly, a semi-finished job may require to be handed over by oneoperator to another at the end of shift, or prior to having a holiday. The scheme shouldclearly spell out as how assessment of work done by the workmen on the same job will becarried out and how disputes arising out of such assessment would be resolved.
Payment of Idle TimeAdequate safeguards must be provided to compensate the operator for the time lost due toreasons beyond his control. A good incentive scheme should ensure that an operator does notsuffer financial loss for reasons attributable to the managerial weakness, e.g.: lack of materialdue to bad buying, breakdowns of the machines due to poor maintenance practices, non-availability of work etc. Thus an operator rendered idle because of factors attributable to themanagement should be given a lieu bonus.
SafeguardsThe scheme should be fair not only to the employees but also to the employer. Safeguardingclauses as under should be incorporated to protect.
a. Management’s right to change a standard when there are changes in methods. Materialsand machines
b. Management’s right to withdraw or discontinue temporarily a scheme during bad period.c. Management’s right to initiate disciplinary action against operators who continually
produce sub-standard articles.d. Management’s right to initiate disciplinary action against employees who, time and
again, do not achieve minimum standard of production even in the presence of fair andaccurate standards.
e. Management’s right to initiate disciplinary action against employees who, time and againare found using speeds and feeds higher than those recommended in the process sheet (oroperational layouts)
Maximum ceiling on the earningsThe system should have built-in-control against higher earnings beyond a certain limit.Firstly, the system should discourage workers to work beyond a certain limit otherwise tooattractive an incentive scheme may induce the worker to work more and more and thereby
Production / Operations Management—Page 29
adversely affect his health. Secondly, the system should ensure that in case of loosestandards the company does not lose financially.
Consistency of PlanThe plan should be consistent over a period of time. Frequent changes in the plan make it’sfunctioning difficult. Faith in plan is lost if there are frequent revisions.
Acceptance of Labour BodyThe scheme should finally have acceptance of the labour body. The body of workers’representatives to prevent any misunderstanding and ill-feeling later on must accept the basicincentive plan and its provisions.
Continuous UseThe scheme should be in continuous use. The temporary use of the scheme in good times andits discontinuation in bad times makes it’s functioning difficult.
Define End ResultsThe plan must result in reduction in per unit labor cost.
