    Study Notes

    Dynamic Model

    • A dynamic model represents systems that change over time
    • Certainty case in a dynamic model:
      • All variables and parameters are known with absolute precision
      • No ambiguity or variability in the system
      • Predictable changes and no external shocks
      • Deterministic relationships between variables
    • Limitations of certainty in dynamic models:
      • Overly simplifies real-world conditions
      • Fails to account for uncertainties, variability, and dynamic nature of the external environment

    Optimum Lot Size Model with Constant Demand (EPQ Model)

    • Deals with constant demand scenarios and is a dynamic lot-sizing model
    • Key components:
      • Demand Rate (D)
      • Production Rate (P)
      • Setup (or Ordering) Cost (S)
      • Holding (or Carrying) Cost (H)
      • Shortage Cost (if applicable)

    Risk Case in Dynamic Model

    • Involves assessing and addressing uncertainties that may impact the model's behavior, outcomes, or predictions
    • Characteristics of risk in production planning and control:
      • Uncertainty
      • Variability
      • Complexity
      • Interdependence
      • Time sensitivity

    P-System and Q-System

    • Part of the Theory of Constraints (TOC), a management philosophy
    • P-System:
      • Focuses on maximizing productivity and efficiency of the production process
      • Identifies and eliminates bottlenecks or constraints
      • Emphasizes synchronizing the entire production process with the bottleneck
    • Q-System:
      • Manages and controls queues of work-in-progress (WIP) that accumulate in front of bottlenecks
      • Manages the flow of work through the system
      • Balances WIP levels to keep the bottleneck working continuously without overwhelming downstream processes

    Material Requirement Planning (MRP)

    • Basic calculations to determine components required from end item requirements
    • Objectives:
      • Inventory reduction
      • Reduction in manufacturing and delivery lead times
      • Realistic delivery commitments
      • Increased efficiency
    • MRP is a methodology used for planning and managing manufacturing operations
    • Involves the use of software to assist with planning and scheduling of production processes

    Just-In-Time (JIT)

    • Inventory management method where goods are received from suppliers only as they are needed
    • Reduces inventory holding costs and increases inventory turnover
    • Importance of JIT:
      • Reduces inventory waste
      • Decreases warehouse holding costs

    Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

    • Complex information system that incorporates both internal and external information flows
    • Need for ERP:
      • Incorporates all business functions and external stakeholders
    • Objectives of ERP:
      • Drives the flow of information between all internal business functions
      • Manages functions related to outside stakeholders
    • ERP solutions:
      • Address organizational needs, not selected islands of the organization
      • Bring new culture, cohesion, and vigor to the organization
      • Guarantee benefits even if the organization is a multi-plant, multi-location global operation
