Planning Problems

The management of bottlenecks has become a central topic in the planning and control of production systems. In this paper, we critically analyze bottlenecks from an economic perspective. Using a queueing network model, we demonstrate that bottlenecks are inevitable when there are differences in job arrival rates, processing rates, or costs of productive resources. These differences naturally lead to the creation of bottlenecks both for facilities design and demand planning problems. To evaluate bottlenecks from an economic perspective, we develop the notion of an “economic bottleneck,” which defines resources as bottlenecks based on economic, rather than physical, characteristics.

Supply chain comprises the flow of products, information, and money. In traditional supply chain management, business processes are disconnected from stock control and, as a result, inventory is the direct output of incomplete information. The focus of contemporary supply chain management is to organize, plan, and implement these flows. First, at the organizational level, products are manufactured, transported, and stored based on the customers’ needs. Second, planning and control of component production, storage, and transport are managed using central supply management and replenished through centralized procurement. Third, the implementation of the supply chain involves the entire cycle from the order-entry process to order fulfillment and delivery. Data mining can create a better match between supply and demand, reducing or sometimes even eliminating the stocks.

Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) initially came to existence in manufacturing in the late 1980s and has been around for about three decades now. It is the long-term collaborative planning process of production levels relative to sales within the realm of a manufacturing planning and control system at the Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) level. S&OP has evolved into a major business process adopted to manage the balance and trade-off between the conflicting preferences of the supply and demand side of the supply chain and offers many value creation opportunities. It is one of the most critical business processes used to achieve best in class performance to consistently outperform competitors. It is increasingly being viewed as essential to synchronise the entire supply chain in order to improve its efficiency, as once the S&OP process is institutionalised, it will enhance supply chain efficiency in the long run. It will also help the supply chain partners to understand and overcome supply chain risks resulting from market volatility. For this, firms must develop and deploy excellent leadership capabilities so that S&OP processes are in place and supported well within and across the supply chain. Although easy to understand, S&OP can be difficult to implement. Explaining the importance and working of S&OP, defining the key S&OP objectives and the role of people, process and technology, this article tries to address many evolving S&OP related operational issues from the people, process and supply chain perspective. It also prescribes practical ways to improve and institutionalise a strong S&OP process within a firm and consequently across the supply chain. Thereafter, it provides a useful framework to forecast ownership and suggests as to what should be discussed in S&OP meetings. Finally, it highlights the need to align the plans on a continuous basis and suggests a framework for the same.

During the 4th industrial revolution, the transformation of economic mechanisms, digitalization in business, the importance of ensuring the economic security of an enterprise is gaining more and more importance for economic entities. The economic security of an individual enterprise depends on internal fac-tors: the quality and efficiency of the built business processes, the efficiency and level of obsolescence of fixed assets, the qualifications of specialists and top management of the enterprise; and the external environ-ment: transparency of laws, including the taxation system, the country's attractiveness for domestic and for-eign investors, the level of corruption and education. It has been proven that the more flexible a business is, the higher its adaptability to the influence of various factors, as a result of which the higher-quality accounting and control system for ensuring the security of the enterprise. This article discusses the meaning, functions and tasks, the process of building a system of budget planning and control as an integral part of the accounting and control system for ensuring the economic security of an enterprise.

Organizations have production planning and control (PPC) processes supported by systems that execute, mainly, repetitive calculations. Based on these calculation results, decisions are taken by production managers. These decision processes make the connection between different levels of aggregation of information and could benefit from the increment of the level of automation. An increased level of application of business process modelling languages is proposed in order to contribute to increment the level of process automation and the detail of business analysis. Thus being, concepts of integration of production management processes, specifically of production planning and control processes are presented. These concepts, the application of business process modelling language (BPML) and some solutions of PPC integration compose the core content of this work. Additionally, criteria for evaluation of these processes of integration are identified and discussed. Finally, the presentation of an industrial case will be supported by BPML model.

Flow Of Information

In today's supply networks, characterised by increased complexity and uncertainty, fast flow of information and decisions across the supply network is fundamental for improving efficiency and customer service in the global market. In such a complex, dynamic environment, the overall performance of the supply network can only be improved through better coordination of inter-related, boundary-spanning business processes in the network. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for enhanced coordination of production planning and control activities across the supply network. The framework consists of seven business processes, among which four key business processes focusing on the short to medium term are chosen for design and modelling and subsequent implementation.

Companies are progressively investing in practices aimed at improving the quality of management, with the main purpose of enabling them to operate competitively in the present market. For this, it is necessary to document the activities and information of the existing business processes in the organization, aiming at reducing time and cost in the elaboration of the particular model. In this context, the objective of this work is to develop a reference model of the Master Production Schedule (MPS) processes, an important module of production planning and control (PPC). The research methodology used in this work was divided into the following stages: study of MPS and business process modeling, definition of reference model processes, choice of methodology and process modeling tool, development of reference model and prototype of the software and, finally, analysis of results. The modeling notation used was the BPMN, since it is considered a standard language in the field of process modeling. The prototype was developed through the Delphi interface in order to apply the model to support the implementation of business management programs. As results, from a formal documentation, the model proved to be a useful mechanism in the understanding of the processes raised and appropriate in the support to the implantation of production management tools.
