Production Planning

10 Styles of Womens Parkas


Table 2.20 Sample Buying Committee Forecasts, 10 Styles of Woman Parkas

Assume all styles are made in Hongkong and Wallys initial production commitment at least 10.000 units. How many units of each styles Wally should make? And, assume it all made in China. What is the differences (if any) between the two initial production commintments? (1 and 3)

Answers no. 1 & 3

Units Produced

Differences between production in HK and China are inventory, total cost, operation time and quality

We choose to avoid order quantity which has amount

lower than the minimum order (speculation) The total cost in HK is higher than CHN (HKG : 8 styles produced; CHN : only 3 items produced) If we try to calculate the production cost of Entice, Assault, Teri, Electra, Stephanie in HKG, then the rest in CHN, we will have bigger amount than our first calculation

Recommendation (no.4)

To design a intregated information system to improve forecasting system Achievement Less defect product, decreasing shipping cost and cut the lead time

HKG
- High skill workers - Better products quality - Smaller lot sizes - Shorter lead time

CHN
- Average skill workers - Average products quality - Larger lot sizes - Longer lead time

- More expensive

- Cheaper production cost

Recommendation (no.5)

For short term and long term policy, we recommend that products should be produced at HKG plant It will be more efficient and resulted better quality products because with smaller minimum quantities in HKG resulted a higher return even the unit cost is higher
