9) a) Draw a flow chart to explain the procedure to schedule ‘n’ jobs on twomachines:
Ans: The following are the ten steps involved to schedule ‘n’ jobs on two machines:
Step 1) Prepare list of the jobs to be processed on the two machines.
Step 2) Estimate processing time for each job on each machine.
Step 3) Construct a job array, called sequencing matrix. To construct the matrix the jobsto be processed are recorded row head wise, the machines to be employed to process thejobs are recorded column head wise and the processing time of each job is recordedagainst the under the respective machine.
Step 4) Scan the job array and identify the smallest processing time.
Step 5) If the smallest time appears:
i. On the first machine, A, assign the corresponding jobs as close to thebeginning of the job sequence as possible.
ii. On the second machine, schedule the corresponding job as close to the endof the job sequence as possible.
iii. If there is a tie of minima for both machines i.e., if the smallest elementoccurs on both machines, (one minimal element on each machine), selectamong the tied up jobs the one with the smallest time on the first machineand schedule it as early in the job sequence as possible.
iv. If the tie of the minima occurs among the elements of the first machine,select among the tied up jobs the one with the smallest time on the secondmachine and schedule it as early in the job sequence as possible.
v. If the tie for the minima occurs among the elements in the secondmachine, select among the tied up jobs the one with the smallest time onthe first machine and schedule it as late in the sequence as possible.
Step 6) Delete from the array the jobs scheduled and its corresponding processing times.
Step 7) Repeat steps 4, 5, 6 and 7 for remaining processing times, placing the jobs next tofirst or next to last until all jobs are scheduled.
Step 8) Calculate the total elapsed time to process all jobs through the two machines.
Step 9) Calculate the idle time for machines A and B.
Fig: Flow chart for”n jobs: 2 machines” sequencing model

b) Five jobs A, B, C, D and E are required to be processed on two machines M1 andM2. Each job has to be processed on machine M1 and then on machine M2. Theorder of the completion of jobs has no significance. The processing time hours forfive jobs on the two machines is as under:
Ans: The smallest time in the job array is 2 hours and it appears for the first stage. Thecorresponding job D therefore is scheduled last and its entry is made in the last cell of thesequencing bar.
Delete the corresponding job schedule leaves us 4 jobs in the array.
The next smallest time is 4 hrs and it occurs on the job A which is present in the sequenceof Machine #1. Therefore the entry is made in the first cell of the sequencing bar.
Deleting the job schedule leaves us with 3 more entries in the array.
The next smallest time is 6 and is present in the job E, which is present in the sequence ofMachine #2. Therefore the entry is made in the last but one cell of the bar.
Deleting the job schedule leaves us with 2 more entries in the array.
The next smallest time is 7 and is present in the job B, which is present in the sequence ofMachine #2. Therefore the entry is made in the 3rd cell of the bar.

2. What is Production Planning and Control? What are its key functions? How doesPPC contribute to the two basic objectives namely “long term growth of business”and “Profit of the company”?Ans: Introduction: Production Planning is a centralized activity (normally conducted inthe office) and includes such functions as order preparation, material control, processplanning, tools control and scheduling. Production control, on the contrary, a diffusedactivity (usually conducted in the shops) and includes such functions as dispatching,progressing and expediting.
Functions of Production Planning & Control:
Control Functions Optional Functions
A DEBC
1) Order Preparation includes activities likemaking of work orders, converting workorders into shop orders, preparing auxiliaryorders, and releasing such orders to shops toauthorize manufacturing activity.
2) Materials control concerns preparation ofmaterials estimates indenting non-stickmaterials, ascertaining availability ofmaterials purchased to stock, continualfollow-up with purchase and store for timelyreceipt of materials, advising store to allocaterequired quantities of available materials(alternatively on their receipt) againstspecific shop orders.
3) Processing Planning or Routing concernsfixation of method of manufacture operationsand their sequence, machine tools for eachoperation, jigs and fixtures, measuringinstruments and gauges etc to enable shops toproduce goods of the right quality at thelowest cost.
4) Tools Controls concerns preparation ofestimates of cutting tools (Standard as wellas non-standard tools), gauges and measuringinstruments including jigs & fixtures,indenting non-stock tooling, follow-up withtool room for timely manufacture of jigs &fixtures, periodical replenishment of worn-out-non-consumable tooling (e.g. workaborts, collets, copying masters, Allen keys,spanners. etc.)
1. Cost Estimation concerns preparation ofpre-production cost estimates to be used bysales department for quotation purposes.(Alternatively this function may beassigned to costing department or industrialengineering dept)
2. Work Measurement concerns fixation oftime to be allowed to a qualified workmanto carryout a specified task, under specifiedconditions and at the defined level ofperformance. Work measurement employsscientific, well-known techniques like timestudy, analytical estimating etc(Alternatively, work measurement workmay be assigned to industrial engineeringdept.)
3. Sub Contract concerns off-loading ofwork on outside vendors for economicreasons or to augment existingmanufacturing facilities. Sub-contract workalternatively may be handled byMaterials/Purchase Dept.
4. Capacity Planning concerns estimation ofrequirements of men and machines as thebasics of decision making to meet thefirm’s increased volume of business (Somecompanies prefer to assign this function toengineering dept)
b) Long term Growth of business and Profit of the Company:
Long term growth of business and profitability are the two basic objectives of anorganization. For long term growth, the company must have enough orders and forenough orders it must have large number of satisfied customers.
Five essentials to achieve customers’ satisfaction are:
1) Timely delivery2) Advance communication in case of expected late shipments3) Short lead time in emergency4) Consistent and good quality of products5) Competitive price.
Good production planning and control is necessary to meet these essentials of customers’satisfaction. Good PPC system is also necessary to minimize waiting time costs, overtimecosts, inventory costs and other manufacturing overheads. Goods PPC system helps toimprove utilization or resources morale of the employees.
5) 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 or regular items.
6) Dispatching concerns preparation anddistribution of shop orders and manufacturinginstructions to be concerned department astheir authority to perform the work accordingto the predetermined schedule.
7) Progressing concerns collection of data frommanufacturing shops, recording of progress ofwork, and comparing progress against the plan.
8) Expediting concerns intensive progresschasing to identify delays and interruptionswhich may hold up production, devising curesfrom time to time to keep rate of production inline with the schedule communicating possiblefailure in delivery commitments to salesdepartment.
5) Demand Forecasting concerns makingprojection of company’s product market,though, long term forecasts are given bysales department but short term forecastsrequired for materials planning, machinesloading, subcontracting etc, may be preparedby PPC departments.
3) (a) How does Production Planning differ from Production Control?Ans:Production Planning: It is the determination, acquisition and arrangement of allfacilities necessary for future production of items. In other words, production planning isessentially a pre-production activity, associated with the design of the production system.
Production Control: It is the corollary to short term production planning or schedulingand is quite simply concerned with the implementation of production schedules.
Production Planning Versus Production Control
PLANNING (Planning the Work) CONTROL (Working the plan)
1) Planning involves collection andmaintenance of data regarding timestandards, materials and their specifications,machines and their process capabilities,drawing and operational layouts etc.
2) Planning is seeing that requirements-tools,machines, men, instructions, authorizationsand the like-well be available at the righttime and in the right quantities and are ofproper quality.
3) Planning involves preparation of load chartsand fitting various work orders intouncommitted time available on thecompany’s facilities (men or machines).
4) Planning involves preparation of allnecessary forms and paper work
5) Planning involves designing suitablefeedback as to what may happen.
6) Planning involves forward thinking as to theremedial action to be taken if the job failsbehind schedule.
Planning therefore, is a centralized activity(in the office) and includes such function asmaterials control, tools control, preprocessplanning and scheduling.
1) Control involves dissemination of data,preparation of reports regarding output,machine and labour utilization, labourefficiency, percentage defectives etc.
2) Control is seeing that the requirements areactually made available at the right place inthe right quantities.
3) Control involves actual seeing that the jobsare started and completed as per scheduleprepared by scheduling cell of the PPC.
4) Control involves actual issue of forms andpaper work.
5) Control involves keeping track of what ishappening and collecting information as towhat has happened.
6) Control involves suggesting remedial actionwhen the job is falling behind schedule.
Control is thus a diffused activity (in theshops) and includes functions such asdispatching, progressing and expediting.
(b) What type of information is necessary for efficient functioning of PPCdepartment? Which department in the organization originates this information?Ans: Introduction: The efficiency of Production Planning and Control departmentdepends upon the information it gets from other departments and the accuracy of suchinformation. To prepare load and schedule chat, it must know the preventive maintenanceschedule. To give realistic delivery date, it must know the work content of each job.Production Planning and Control department generally requires the followinginformation:

4) How do the following management decisions influence design of the PPC system?
(i) Plan for meeting occasional increase in demand.(ii) Status of the PPC department in the organization(iii)Degree of centralization(iv)Internal structure of PPC department.
Ans: PLANNING MEETING SEASONAL OR OCCASIONAL INCREASE INDEMAND:This influences greatly the production planning and control system which the companyshould have. Alternatives available to the company and associated activities are as under:
i) Having factors of production for the peak demand and utilizing extra capacityto manufacture products of non-seasonal nature or taking up subcontract worketc.
ii) Having factors of production for the least demand and meeting requirementsof extra capacity by overtime or by holiday working or by hiring capacity orby sub-contracting etc. Production planning and control and the purchasingfunction under such a situation assumes very important role in the company.
STATUS OF THE PPC DEPARTMENT IN THE COMPANY:The status of PPC department in the company depends upon the company’smanufacturing processes.
If the work is highly repetitive and the number of workmen is not very large, the work ofplanning may be performed directly by the line staff, there being thus no formal PPCdepartment in the company. And in manufacturing units where plant and machinery islaid out as per sequence of operations and there is little difference in machine capacity fordifferent products, the PPC may be sub-division of the manufacturing department.
In firms, where either the product variety is very large or where machine capacities aredifferent for different products, or where plant and machinery is laid out as per functionin different departments not related to each other, PPC should be set up as an independentdepartment with the head of the department responsible to the managing director, Generalmanager, or works manager, depending upon the magnitude and complexity of theplanning functions and the size of the firm.
DEGREE OF CENTRALISATION:Degree of centralization implies extent to which planning activities are performed byPPC. Two systems in general are available:
i) Centralized Planning where the functions of production planning iscontrolled centrally by staff specialist (s).
ii) Decentralized Planning where planning is carried out by line executive-foremen-who direct normal work in their respective departments.
Both types of planning, centralized as well as decentralized planning, have their relativeadvantages and disadvantages, the centralized planning takes away the burden ofplanning from the line staff thus leaving free to handle men and machines moreeffectively.
Decentralized planning gives line staff sense of participation and opportunity to use theirexperience but it takes away lot of their valuable time in performing planning functionsThe trend today is towards the blend of “Centralized” and “Decentralized” system, calledsemi-centralized planning. It combines the merits of both the systems and it especiallygives better results in a large industrial complex.
Under semi-centralized planning, the scheduling of operations within the pre-fixed periodand allotment of work to men and machines is done by line staff while overall co-ordination of materials ordering, sub-contract work planning, progressing and follow-up,capacity planning man power planning, maintenance planning etc, is done centrally bythe staff specialists.
THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE PPC DEPARTMENTInternal structure implies the functions to be assigned to PPC which depends on thenature of industry the size of the company and the management policies. Differentcompanies assign different functions to the PPC department. It is common practice toassign following functions to PPC department:
i) Order Preparation. v) Schedulingii) Materials Control vi) Dispatchingiii) Tools Control vii) Progressingiv) Process planning viii) Expediting.
Few companies assign following four areas to PPC department:i) Cost Estimation iii) Sub-Contractingii) Work Measurement iv) Capacity planning
The functions actually to be assigned depend on the size of the company.
This aspect also considers assigning of various functions of production control todifferent cells which again depends on the size of the company. In a medium or largesized industry there may be following important cells in PPC department:
i) Materials Control Cell vi) Progressing Cellii) Tools Control Cell vii) Cost Estimation Celliii) Process Planning Cell viii) Sub-Contract Celliv) Scheduling Cell ix) Work Measurement Cellv) Dispatching Cell
Each cell may be headed by a senior engineer and supported by planning assistant(s) andclerk(s).
A representative production planning and control department of a medium size firm isillustrative in the following figure.
6) (a) “Data given on the process sheet can be put to lot many uses in the organization”Discuss.Ans: Introduction: Process planning is the process of establishing the shortest and mosteconomical path that each part is to follow from the point it is received as raw materials until itleaves as furnished part or a finished product. Process planning indicates operations to beperformed and their sequence; specified the machine tool for each indicated operation; shows thenecessary tooling (jigs and fixtures, cutting tools, cams and templates, measuring instruments,and gauges) for each indicated operation; gives manufacturing data such as speeds and feeds;sometimes the specifications of the skill for each operation. The document which incorporatesthis vital information is called process sheet or route sheet.
Text: The information contained in the process sheet can be put to a variety of uses:
(i) Scheduling: The scheduling cell of PPC can obtain for each operation the set-upand the processing time. This information helps them to prepare load andschedule charts
(ii) Materials Movement: The Shop supervisor and the dispatch clerk can knowwhere the jobs require to be sent for the next operation.

(iii) Cost Reduction and Cost Control: A process sheet gives an idea of the tooling(standard tools, jigs and fixtures, templates, gauges and measuring instruments)which could be arranged prior to the starting of the operation. This cuts down set-up time and reduces labour cost and overheads.
(iv)Costing: Costing group can use the information to determine pre and postproduction cost of each component.
(v) Method of Working: Method study engineer without going on the shop floor canknow as to how presently the part is being manufactured.
(vi)Requirement of manpower and machines: Set up times and processing timesgiven in different route sheets may be consolidated machine wise into total man-hours or machine-hours required to enable the management to take decisionsconcerning requirements of manpower and machines.
(vii) Shop efficiency: Operation wise time data given in the process sheet is alsohelpful to the shop personnel to know whether the shop performance is in linewith the expected performance.
(b) A Small pump shaft is to be manufactured from a round bar on four machinesin a workshop. It is first cut to length on a power hack-saw which can produce 12pieces per hour. The cut pieces are then “faced to length” and “centered” on aspecial facing and centering machine. Once this machine is set-up (taking 30minutes), the operator can complete 30 pieces per hour. Faced and centered piecesare next moved to the copying lathe. It takes 45 minutes to set up the copying latheand 3 minutes to turn each piece. The final operation is cutting of the keyways on aspecial purpose key-way milling machine. It takes 8.50 minutes to cut hey-way oneach piece. 8.0 minutes are required to set-up the hack-saw and 10 minutes to set-upthe key-way milling machines. After cutting the key-ways the parts are debarredand inspected.
Draw up a process sheet for the manufacture of this part. Though tooling andgauges do not require to be indicated yet their relative position on the process sheetshould be shown.Sol:

7 (a) Why is it necessary to record the progress of work? What different methodsare available to collect information?Ans: Introduction: Progressing is the process of checking actual performance againstthe production plan and reporting exceptional deviations to the concerned authorities forthe corrective action. Progressing function consists in keeping a watch on flow ofmaterials, recognition of delays and interruptions, taking steps to rush up the remainingoperations and communicating possible delays to the customer (wherever necessary)
It is sometimes argued that progressing is only a substitute for poor planning. Should adriver take his hands off the steering wheel because the road is straight? Should a pilotdivert his attention from the control board because the weather is fine? No! They can’t dothis, similarly, progressing is required even if the material control and process planningfunctions are discharged satisfactorily, scheduling is done properly, manufacturing ordersare released. There are usually a number of factors which tend to push the schedules offthe mark. Some of the notable ones are as under:
Delay in receipt of material from vendor(s) Excessive absenteeism (more than the normal) Machines breakdowns Excessive spoilage Errors in drawings Strikes and acts of Gods.
The need for progressing is also created when the customers do the follow up on theirown to know the status of their orders.

(b) Explain with a diagram any two methods to collect data on progress of work.Ans: Daily Production Report: It is prepared by the supervisor, this is another method
of obtaining feedback. A daily production report contains fixed space to record:
Operator’s Name and Token number Machine on which he worked Time spend Quantity produced Quantity checked by the patrolling inspector Results of the inspection Idle time and its reasons.
This report may be prepared either by the shop supervisor or the patrolling inspectorand is collected at the end of the shift or the next day by the progress clerk of the PPCdepartment. This method is best suited for large workshop having a process type oflayout producing number of non-standard parts.
DAILY PRODUCTION REPORTSECTION : Gear ShopDATE : 12.11.04SHIFT : First Shift
It is a useful method of production feed back/collecting data on progress of work. Theroute sheet for each job carries part number, product or assembly number it is in, list ofoperations to be performed, and the necessary information. The route sheet is handedover to the supervisor or is tied to the product. As soon as each operation is completed,the operator or the supervisor signs the lower portion of the route sheet, detaches it, andreturns to the progress section for their analysis.
This method is suitable for tool rooms, jobbing shops or workshops producing one or fewnumbers of a component.

10 (a) What are the steps involved in solving an assignment problem.Ans: Introduction:
Hungarian method is the most efficient method for solving an assignment probleminvolving minimum objective. Though its standard procedure is for balanced problems,minimization problem, free from restrictive, but it can be applied to even specialsituations by adopting additional steps.
Basic Principles:The Hungarian method is based on the following properties:
(i) If a constant element is added or subtracted from every element of any row orcolumn in the given cost matrix, an assignment that minimizes the total cost inthe original matrix also minimizes the total cost in the revised matrix.
(ii) In an assignment matrix, solution having zero total cost is the optimal solution.
Assumptions:
(i) Each facility is capable of performing each task
(ii) Tasks differ in their work contents and facility in their capabilities
(iii)Only one task can be assigned to each facility
(iv)As only one task can be assigned to each facility, the assignment matrix must beof n x n size. (In case the matrix is not square, dummy rows or columns, equal tothe difference, are added).
Procedural steps to solve standard assignment problems:
A standard assignment problem is a balanced assignment problem (i.e., number oftasks equal number of facilities), incorporates no restriction in allocation and involvedminimization objective, Hungarian method to solve such problem requires followingsteps:
Step 1: Express the problem into n x n assignment matrix
Step 2: Select the smallest element in each row and subtract it from every element ofthat row.
Step 3: Select the smallest element in each column of the reduced matrix obtainedfrom step 2 and subtract it from every element of that column.
Step 4: Cover all zero elements by minimum number of straight lines (horizontal andvertical lines only). If the number of lines drawn is equal to n(number ofrows/columns), the solution is optimal and proceed to Step 7. if the number of linesdrawn is smaller than n, go to step 5.
Step 5: Select the smallest uncovered element (i.e., smallest element not covered bythe lines), subtract it from all uncovered elements including itself, and add it to theelements covered twice (i.e. elements located at the intersection of any two lines), andreproduce other elements (i.e. elements through which only one line passes) as theyare.Step 6: Repeat steps 4 and 5 until an optimal solution is obtained.
Step 7: Given the optimal solution make the job assignments as follows:
(a) Examine the rows one by one starting with the first row until a row withan exclusive zero (i.e. row with exactly one zero) is found. Mark the zeroby enclosing it in a square indicating assignment of the task to the facility.Cross out all zeroes (if any) in the column as they cannot be used to makeother assignments.
(b) Examine next the columns for any mutual exclusive zero and mark each asabove, crossing out the remaining zeroes in that row.
(c) Repeat steps (a) and (b) successfully until either of the followingconditions occur:
i. All zeros have been marked / crossed and each row contains onemarked zero. This means that the optimal solution has reached.
ii. All zeros have not been marked / crossed. The remainingunmarked zeros lie at least two in each row and column. Thismeans that more than one optimal solution exists.
(b) A drawing office incharge has four tasks and equal number of draught men. Hisestimate of time for each job – draught men combination is given (in hours) in thefollowing matrix:

Find out the optimal assignment.
Sol:Step1: “Express the problem into n x n assignment matrix”. This step has already done inthe case problem.
Step2. “Subtract the smallest element in each row from every element in its row so as toobtain atleast one zero in each row.”
15, 15, 15 & 10 are the smallest in 1st, 2nd , 3rd and 4th rows respectively. Subtraction ofthe smallest element in the row from every element in its row gives rise to an assignmentmatrix shown in the following table.
Jobs

20 0 15 10
Step 3. Subtract the smallest element in each column of assignment matrix obtained instep 2 from every element in its column. This step gives rise to yet another assignmentmatrix…
Connect all zeros in the assignment matrix obtained in step 3 by minimum number ofstraight lines. Min 4 straight lines are required to connect all zeros.
Step 4.(a) “Examine the rows one by one, starting with the first row until with an exclusive
zero (i.e. row with exactly one zero) is found. Mark the zero by enclosing it in asquare indicating assignment of the task to the facility. Cross out all zeros in thesame column as they cannot be used to make other assignments.
(b) Examine next the columns for any mutual exclusive zero and mark each as above,crossing the remaining zeros in that row.
Here…1) Row J1 has two exclusive zeros which occur at Junction J1 D1 and J1 D4 hence
the allocation of task J1 is postponed for the time being.2) Row J2 has 1 exclusive zero which occurs at junction J2 D3 hence Job J2 is
assigned to D3.3) Row J3 has two exclusive zeros which occur at Junction J3 D1 and J3 D2 hence
the allocation of task J1 is postponed for the time being.4) Row J4 has 1 exclusive zero which occurs at junction J4 D2 hence Job J2 is
assigned to D2.5) With the allocation of J2 and J4 we have 2 jobs left out unassigned. Looking at
the matrix again, we see that the Under J3 there are 2 zeros out of which theposition D2 is already assigned to J4 and cannot be reassigned to J1 as this is a

mutual exclusive zero assignment matrix. So the only position left out is J3D1.Hence the job J3 is assigned to D1.
6) With the allocation of Job J3 to D1 we are left out with J1. Considering theexclusive assignment matrix. The Job J1 can only be assigned to D4. HenceJ1D4.
So the Optimal assignment matrix is the following
11 (a) what is critical ratio scheduling? What advantages does this technique haveover other technique?Ans:Introduction: Critical ratio scheduling is a technique for establishing and maintainingpriorities among the jobs-be it in a production control department for the purpose ofscheduling or expending in a purchase department for the purpose of “Purchase orderfollow up” or in any other department of the company. The technique utilities concept ofratios called Critical ratios which provide time relationship between when aproduct/part/material is required and when it can be made available/supplied.
Definition: A Critical ratio in its simplest form, may be stated as the ration of “time whena product is required“to the “time when the product can be supplied”.
I.e. Critical Ratio = Time when a product is requiredTime when the product can be supplied
For E.g.,
Critical Ratio = The Product is required in 20 days.The product can be made available in 10 days
= 2.

65 HoursTotal Processing Time:
A critical ratio of 2 implies that the time available to deliver the product is twice the timerequired to manufacture the product, similarly, a critical ratio of ½ will mean that thetime available to deliver the product is half of the time required to manufacture theproduct. This also suggests that the processing time must be reduced to half of the normalexpected time otherwise the product will not be delivered on time.
Interpretation of critical ratios: Critical ratios have the following significance:
A critical ratio of
(i) Greater than one means that there is sufficient time and job can be completedahead of the schedule.
(ii) Equal to one implies that job is just on schedule and requires to be closelywatched.
(iii) Less than one suggests that the job is critical and needs to be expedited tocomplete it on schedule.
In general, the smaller the critical ratio, the more critical the job is from delivery point ofview.
Advantages: This technique of critical ratio scheduling helps to:
Determine the relative job priorities for scheduling.
Make automatic adjustment in the shop schedule when there are changes indemand and job progress.
Reduce dependence on expeditors since a properly designed critical ratio system,coupled with necessary progress reporting, identifies critical jobs.
Compare both stock and made to order jobs on a common basis.
Prevent crises in scheduling of production
Exercise control by exception.
Critical ratio scheduling, when applied to activities of production control departmenthelps in establishing and maintaining priorities among the jobs and when applied topurchase follow up on pending orders.
The technique helps to identify components/parts/ materials which require expediting oftheir pending quantities from their suppliers.
The technique utilizes the concept of ratios called critical ratios which provide a timerelationship between a product / part /material is required and when it can be madeavailable / supplied.
(b) Write few typical critical ratios and explain what they signify?Ans:
1) A total of 20 work orders completed over last one quarter were analyzed andfollowing data on ineffective timer per operation (days) was obtained:
(i) The average time per operation the component stayed on theshop floor due to waiting queuing, hunting, job splitting, changein priorities, power failure, machine break down etc.
(ii) What total lead time should be considered for component withthe following details?
Batch quantity = 300 no.sTotal set up time = 12 hrsTotal processing time = 18 minNo. of operations = 5Average labour efficiency = 80 %against performance standards
N.B: The Company works two shifts per day, each shift of 8 hrs duration.
Sol:(a) Expected ineffective time per operation is
NEIT = ∑ Xi, P(Xi)
1
The computational process is given in the table below:
Therefore, expected value of ineffective time per operation = 2.60 days
(b) Total Lead time is given by the formula
N NTLT = P + ∑ (W + T) + ∑ S+QR
1 1 H X E
Where,
P = Order preparation time = 7 days (assumed)W = Expected value of ineffective time per operation x No. of
Operations= 2.60 x 5= 13 days
T = Transit time between operations x No. of operations= 0 (Transit time assumed to be insufficient)

Therefore,

= 28 days.
2) National Engineering Company utilizes critical-ratio-scheduling techniquefor the purpose of scheduling and expediting. The status of few made-to-stock items is given in the table below.
Calculate critical ratio for each of the items and decide on the action to be taken.
Sol:
Critical Ratio = Lead time available (LTA)Lead time required (LTR)
For made to stock items
LTA = (Stock on hand) – (Safety stock)Average daily consumption
LTR = Lead time required to the complete remaining operations
= This has been given in the problem
Critical ratios for above items have been calculated in the table below:
S.NoLead time
available (LTALead Timerequired Critical ratio
1 1320 - 840 / 60 = 8 4 8 / 4 = 2.00
2 480 - 120 / 30 = 12 15 12 / 15 = 0.80
3 520 - 80 / 40 = 11 10 11 / 10 = 1.10
4 785 - 235 / 50 = 11 30 11 / 30 = 0.37
From the above critical ratios, we can conclude that progress of item
(i) At serial 1 is more than satisfactory. The item is likely to get completed ontime and not much of attention is required to be paid to it.
(ii) At serial 2 is unsatisfactory. The item has become critical either because itsconsumption has risen above its average or the job has been delayed. In anycase, its progress must be accelerated to avoid potential stock out.
(iii) At serial 3 is just satisfactory. The item needs to be closely monitored(iv) At serial 4 is extremely critical. Every possible avenue should be explored to
expedite the remaining operations.
12 (a) What are make or buy decisions? What costs are considered while finding thecost to make and cost to buy?
Ans: Introduction: Make or buy decisions generally concern items required to thecompany’s own design. No firm can manufacture each and every item of its product. It isneither possible nor desirable. Items which do not form the company’s product line arealways purchased from outside. An automobile firm for example requires to purchase rawmaterials, forgings, castings, tyres, tubes, bulbs, wires, bearings, automotive wheels, etc,from others. Similarly, an engineering firm needs to buy grinding wheels, oils andgreases; tools etc., since the manufacture of these items require totally a differentmanufacturing process.
Items which require specialized technical knowledge or procurement of specialequipment are generally sub-contracted. A small firm for example normally gets its itemsheat-treated, surface coated (zinc plating, or galvanizing, or phosphating) from outside toget benefit of low price.
The exclusion of the above categories of items leaves the firm with items which requireto be manufactured to its design either at the home plant or to be purchased from outside
suppliers. The decision whether to make the item at the home plant or buy it from outsidevendors is referred to as “make-or-buy” decision.
Costs to be considered while making a make or buy decision:
Cost analysis refers to the determination of cost to make the item and cost to buy it. Acomplete and correct assessment of the various elements of the cost is essential to makesound economic decisions.
The following data needs to be collected and analysed.
Particulars Departments originating the informationRaw materials PurchaseLanded cost of the item Purchase or sub-contractingbeing cub-contractedWeight of raw materials/ Purchase/Production Planning & ControlCasting/forgingsWeight of finished component Production Planning & ControlPresent utilization of company’s facilities Production Planning & ControlMethods of manufacture (Route sheet) Production Planning & ControlSet up times and operational times Industrial EngineeringMachine hour cost and labour hour cost Costing/Industrial Engineering /
Sales/Finance
The analysis is based on annual requirements of components against the followingelements:
(a) Raw Material: The raw material cost consists of cost of raw materials less valuerecovered during to the sale of scrap like turnings, borings, end pieces etc. Theraw material cost is considered towards the cost to make. However, if the rawmaterial is supplied to the vendor free of cost, the cost of such materials alsorequired to be considered towards cost to purchase.
(b) Labour cost: Labour cost implies the wages and costs of other benefits(Provident fund, E.S.I., bonus, gratuity etc.) payable to the workmen engaged onthe job. This cost however, requires to be considered only when additional labourforce needs to be employed while production capacity is available.
(c) Tooling cost: Jigs and fixtures generally require to be made if the item is to bemachined at the home plant. The jigs and fixtures once made maintain theiraccuracy only for certain quantity, say “n” pieces, after which again a new set ofjigs and fixtures require to be made. The cost of tooling thus requires to beamortized over “n” pieces and the annual cost of such tooling requires to be addedto “cost to make”.
At times, when an item is purchased from outside vendors, certain special cuttingtools (broaches, hobs, shaping cutters etc.) and jigs and fixtures require to be
supplied to the vendor free of cost. The cost of such tooling, therefore, requires tobe considered separately as tooling cost towards “cost-to-buy”
(d) Overhead cost: the bulk of cost associated with a make or buy decision is thecost of production capacity. This is the area where most often mistakes are made.These costly errors can be avoided by keeping a single fact in mind that the costswhich influence make or buy decisions are just the incremental costs the costswhich will be incurred if the part currently made is purchased or vice versa.
(e) Recoupment cost: Recoupment cost implies the setup costs (if the item is to bemanufactured at the home plant) or the procurement cost (if the item is to bepurchased). Set-up cost is the “preparation cost” of the machines and it variesdepending upon the number of production runs in a year. The procurement cost isthe cost of raising a purchase order and processing the deliveries from thevendor(s) and it varies depending upon the frequency of receipts of the item fromthe vendor(s).
(f) Outside operations cost: The item manufactured at the home plant may requiresub-contracting of certain operations such as rough blanking, heat treatment,plating etc. The cost of such operations requires to be considered separatelytowards “cost to make”
(g) Purchase cost: Purchase cost includes the price given to the vendor, packing andforwarding, excise, sales tax, transport cost, control etc.
(h) Capacity cost: Capacity cost implies the cost of capacity rendered idle if the itemcurrently being manufactured is purchased. Such a cost requires to be added to“cost to buy”.
1. “Production Planning and Control department is called the nerve center of aproduction unit” Discuss.
Ans: Introduction: Good production planning and control system is a must for a firm toenable it to make reliable promises and then to stick to them. It is also essential to devisemethods which will ensure selection of right equipment, right tooling and enable the shopto make the job in the simplest but in the fool proof way. The following costs can becontrolled / avoided through better production, planning and control, which make it thenerve center of a production unit.
(a)Waiting time: “Time waste is the easiest of all wastes and yet the hardest to correctbecause it does not litter the floor” remarked Henry Ford once. This statement is astrue as death. Excessive waiting time is really a big hazard – a big expense.
A closer look around the department can enable us to spot some of these time leaks.We will find some of our workmen waiting at that tool crib. Some may be waiting forraw materials. Other may be waiting for the tools to be sharpened. Yet there may be
some waiting for prints and instructions for the next job. These little time leaks, ifconsidered in isolation, do no mean much but too many of these can certainly add to alarge amount, may be larger than few big ones. To reduce waiting time, eachsupervisor must know as to when the job in hand must be completed and when nextjob should get started so that necessary tools. Gauges, prints, materials, etc. for thenext job can be kept ready.
(b) Hunting Time: “An Operative in an engineering concern spends more than 2% of histime in wandering or looking for the things he needs to do the jobs” we will find themsharing their tools with other operators. Lot of operative’s time is wasted in searching forstraps, clamps, bolts, nuts and washers.” We can reduce this ineffective time by fixingright place for everything and providing our men a set of everything they need well inadvance of starting of the job. Good production planning and control can convert some ofthese time leaks into useful production hours.
(c) Stalling: “Workers usually try to coincide the end of their jobs with the end of the day bystretching the jobs in hand”. A worker usually tends to delay the completion of job so thathe does not need to start a fresh job towards the end of the day. “why start now, I wont beable to finish it in my shift” is the commonest attitude among our workmen. We cansomewhat avoid this by setting the system where by each workman knows when he isexpected to complete the job-in-hand and what is his next work assignment. Scientificscheduling can do this!
(d) Interrupted workloads: “Unplanned over lapping of operations lead to idle machinesand job split-ups”. Interrupted work from the previous operation not only results in partialutilization of the next machine but also seriously undermine morale of the shop. Carefulproduction planning can prevent such unnecessary losses of time.
(e) Costly overtime: “Poor planning is the common cause of overtime.” Prolonged overtimeis not merely the extra strain on the finance of the company but means much more.Excessive overtime and hence extra time earnings make the workers accustomed to a newstandard of living and any action on the part of the management to reduce or discontinueovertime is disliked by the workers. It is just not palatable to them. The mere knowledgethat the company intends to do away with the overtime make the workers slow downtheir pace and thus the company is forced to overtime working. It then becomes a viciouscircle and once caught in it the company cannot come out of it. The result is of anybody’sguess. The workers go on getting overtime day after day and month after month and thusworsening the already worsened situation. The overall effect is thus the lowering ofefficiency – firstly because of accumulation of fatigue and secondly because of slackeringof pace to get overtime.
The need for overtime arises due to: Unrealistic delivery dates without there being any leeway for unforeseeable. Acceptance of too many rush orders. Frequent delays in receipt of materials Excessive machine breakdowns
Lack of qualified workers Insufficient manpower or machines.The majority of the causes cited above can be avoided by proper planning
(f) Unproductive time of the machines: “Productivity of factors of production to a largeextent depends on the quality of supervision”. The prime responsibility of thesupervisory staff is to ensure that the company’s machines work for maximum timeand the loss of time due to different reasons is kept at minimum. The production timeof the machines is lost due to weaknesses in one or more of the following supervisoryfunctions:
Operators’ unauthorized absenteeism and the failure of the supervisor to makesubstitute arrangement
Enforced idle time of the machine for want of smooth movement of materials onthe shop floor
Lack of effective supervision which cause idle time of the machines sinceoperators merely shop around, visit unnecessarily places of personal needs, steallonger tea breaks, resume work 5-10 min late in the beginning of the shift andafter lunch break and close work 10-15 min prior to lunch break and the end ofthe shift.
Idle time of the machines due to delayed action by the supervisor to trace defectsto the source and stoppage of the machines by the workmen until then.
Wastage in factors of production enumerated above occurs not only because ofpoor quality of supervision but also when the supervisory staff gets burdened withroutine functions namely materials planning, tools planning, movement ofmaterials on the shop floor, machine loading, expediting etc. PPC relievessupervisory staff from clerical functions and thereby enable them to spend moretime for training of workmen, proper allocation of work to workmen, troubleshooting and maintaining shop discipline.
(g) Higher overhead costs: Since production planning anc control relieves supervisorystaff from a number of clerical responsibilities, they get more time for training ofworkmen, troubleshooting, maintaining shop discipline and improvising methods ofwork. At the same time they can handle more workmen and more machines, whichreduce supervisory overheads.
(h) Poor labour efficiency: “Workmen who get accustomed to working intermittentlynever work continuously”. This is no exaggeration. It is a fact based on humanphysiology and it holds good not only for workmen but also for supervisorypersonnel. Many a times in large companies, jobs get delayed due to irregulardeliveries of materials, interruptions from the supervisors, improper loading andscheduling, lack of sufficient volume of work etc. and as a result workmen are eitherrendered idle or are utilized for part of the time. And if such delays are frequent,workmen get accustomed to partial working and thus the efficiency of the shop floorsuffer a set back. They even do not work continuously when sufficient work isavailable.
PPC can prevent such a situation by exercising better control on availability of toolsand materials monitoring a close control on work-in-progress on the shop floor, re-allocating jobs from other machines by shifting idle operators to other machines,changing the route, ensuring smooth movement of materials from and into thedifferent shops, and reporting cases of idle time of men and machines to enable thescheduler to release new jobs.
(i) Investment in inventories: Good production planning and control can help the firmto ensure continuity in production with minimum inventory investment. Stock outsand higher inventory investment result if the requirements of materials are notindented on time and also if materials on receipt are not allowed properly to the workorders as per job priorities. Shop personnel can neither do forward planning ofmaterials nor can they keep track of receipts and issues of materials. Only acentralized agency such as PPC can co-ordinate the activities of shops, storesdepartment and the buying department.
Fig: Effect of production planning and control on the firm’s operations
(j) Lowered morale: A department plagues by rush orders, broken deliveries,uneven work loads, frequent revisions in process, costly overtime, excessivemachine breakdowns and the like can hardly be expected to have good morale. Anintegrated approach to production, planning and control can go a long way toeliminate or atleast minimize the occurrences of the above mentioned losses.
Certainly production, planning and control is the nerve center of a production unit.
