Perancangan alat bantu untuk memperbaiki proses perencanaan produksi pada PT X

Production planning is part of the operational management that is important in a company. By managing production planning properly, the production process in a company will be able to run better. PT X is a company that produces vehicle spareparts for private cars. The company runs make to order system to fulfill the production procss. In the make to order system, a new product will begin to be produced by the company if there is an order from the customer. In this system, a company has inventory i.e. raw material and work in process. The problem are PT X have lack of raw materials and the absence of lead time given by the company to customers about when a product will be sent. To overcome this problem, improvements are made to the existing production planning system. Improvements begin by changing the way raw materials are purchased. This is done by treating the system with order point. With this system, company will never experience a shortage of raw materials because when raw material below order point, company must immediately order new raw materials. Thus the production process will not be disturbed and can run smoothly. In determining when a product will be completed and sent to customers, a production planning system with DSS tools (decision support system) is made using Microsoft Excel tools. By using DSS, the system will automatically display when a product will be finished and when it can be sent to the customer, when to buy raw materials, and how much production order is. Accordingly, the company can provide certainty of information to customers when the products have been produced and shipped.

Opportunities and challenges faced by women involved in informal cross-border trade in the city of Mutare during a prolonged economic crisis in Zimbabwe

ABSTRACTThis paper assessed the opportunities and challenges faced by women involved in informal cross-border trade (ICBT) in Mutare during a prolonged economic crisis in Zimbabwe. Sixteen women informal cross-border traders were interviewed in depth while two cross-border bus drivers and two customs officials provided key information, which was categorized and discussed along emerging themes. The women were mainly middle-aged single parents who engaged in ICBT for survival. On average, they were educated but forced into ICBT by economic hardships and lack of jobs associated with the closure of industries that started in the late 1990s. Deindustrialization, however, created opportunity for the women to obtain Zimbabwean passports and import clothes, blankets, electrical gadgets and vehicle spare parts from South Africa (SA). Hence, a delay in obtaining the passport which costs US$51 and issued within six months was the women’s first challenge. Desperate to save meager incomes as most Zimbabweans resorted to ICBT, most of them slept in the open while in SA. Local authorities harassed them searching and confiscating undeclared goods. The women’s children suffered as they missed their mothers’ attention, control and love. Instead of helping the women’s businesses flourish, government proposed banning imports to revive Zimbabwe’s industrial sector.

The impact of e-commerce on warehouse operations

Background: We often encounter opinions concerning the unusual nature of warehouses used for the purposes of e-commerce, most often spread by providers of modern technological equipment and designers of such solutions. Of course, in the case of newly built facilities, it is advisable to consider innovative technologies, especially in terms of order picking. However, in many cases, the differences between standard warehouses, serving, for example, the vehicle spare parts market, and warehouses that are ready to handle retail orders placed electronically (defined as ecommerce) are negligible. The scale of the differences between the existing standard warehouses and those adapted to handle e-commerce is dependent on the industry and supported of customers' structure. Methods: On the basis of experiences and on examples of enterprises two cases of the impact of a hypothetical ecommerce implementation for the warehouse organization and technology have been analysed. Results: The introduction of e-commerce into warehouses entails respective changes to previously handled orders. Warehouses serving the retail market are in principle prepared to process electronic orders. In this case, the introduction of (direct) electronic sales is justified and feasible with relatively little effort. Conclusions: It cannot be said with certainty that the introduction of e-commerce in the warehouse is a revolution for its employees and managers. It depends on the markets in which the company operates, and on customers served by the warehouse prior to the introduction of e-commerce.

Testing the gravity [formula omitted]-median model empirically

Regarding the location of a facility, the presumption in the widely used p-median model is that the customer opts for the shortest route to the nearest facility. However, this assumption is problematic on free markets since the customer is presumed to gravitate to a facility by the distance to and the attractiveness of it. The recently introduced gravity p-median model offers an extension to the p-median model that account for this. The model is therefore potentially interesting, although it has not yet been implemented and tested empirically. In this paper, we have implemented the model in an empirical problem of locating vehicle inspections, locksmiths, and retail stores of vehicle spare-parts for the purpose of investigating its superiority to the p-median model. We found, however, the gravity p-median model to be of limited use for the problem of locating facilities as it either gives solutions similar to the p-median model, or it gives unstable solutions due to a non-concave objective function.

Multi-Criteria ABC Inventory Classification- A Case of Vehicles Spare Parts Items

 Abstract—The ABC classification of inventory items splits them into three different classes to which we will assign specific monitoring and control rules. The usual ABC classification is based on a single criterion, namely the value of annual use. Single criterion classification can also be done according to other criteria but considered separately. However, the inventory managers need more than one factor to take into account simultaneously in classification. Several models in literature have focused on multi-criteria classification. This article is based on Ng model to elaborate a multi-criteria classification of stocks in a company in the field of vehicle spare parts wholesale. A comparison was made with the traditional single criterion ABC classification. Index Terms—multi-criteria classification, ABC classification, NG model.
