Chapter 15 – ERP ® Inventory for Dependent Demand will NOT be covered…. ® Exam coverage of this chapter starts on page 702 of the 8 th Edition
What were five motivations for transitioning from mainframes ® Absence of data integration ® 36 month backlogs at centralized MIS shops ® Idle CPU cycles on desktops ® Mainframes were expensive bottlenecks ® Support for Internet and thin clients ® Quicker, cheaper development times through REUSE
Every application software package consists of 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Presentation management component Business logic management component Data management component All of the above 1 and 2 only
ERP ® Is software that organizes and manages a company’s business processes by sharing info across functional areas ® Large caps have been there and done that—transitioned to ERP ® Mid and small caps are getting there ® The road to implementation has been rough
More ERP ® Based on an N-tier distributed architecture ® Not on mainframe glasshouse
• Advantages of N-tier architecture ® Provides for data integration ® Better usage of MIPS on both PCs and servers ® Solves the 36 -month backlog of the centralized MIS shop ® Enables a better career path for the MIS professional
N-Tier distributed architecture ® Is decentralized or centralized, or some combination of these (which? ) ® Utilizes thick clients or thin clients (which? )
ERP Modules ® Sales & distribution ® Production & Materials Management ® Quality management ® Human resource management ® Project management ® Accounting and controlling/finance ® Supply chain management ® Customer relationship management
ERP Terms ® Best-of-breed ® Collaborative product commerce ® Customer relationship management ® Supply chain management ® XML
Distributed architectures solved these problems ® Data resides behind a single database engine
Components of any Software Application
Components in brief
Mainframe Architecture (circa 1993) Mainframe Computer
Problems with Mainframe Architecture ® Absence of data integration, resulting in little enterprise visibility ® The applications are maintainable only by the centralized MIS shop, which is overloaded, resulting in 36 month lead times to get revisions effected ® Every application had to be built from scratch, line-by-line, resulting in large cost and long lead times to create new applications
More problems with Mainframe Architecture ® No reuse was possible ® These mainframe apps were accessed on networked PC’s via IBM 3278 terminal emulation software that was completely incompatible with the windows GUI applications—meaning no cut and paste ® Mainframes were computational bottlenecks ® Desktop PCs sat idle 99% of the time
Modern solution of today: NTIER DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURE ® This is a distributed architecture like client/server, but now the application is distributed across three or more computing boxes on the network
N-Tier distributed Architecture Thin Clients (1/2 PM) Database Application Server 2 Data Server (DM) Application Server 1
Take a closer look at the Application Servers Application Server runs the business logic component and half ot the presentation management component—the portion the serves out the web pages
Comments on N-Tier Distributed Architecture ® Clients are called ‘thin’ because the only thing running on them is the Internet Browser ® The IT professional doesn’t have to install anything on the client ® More re-use is possible—specifically that browser
Advantages of N-Tier Distributed Architecture ® Like Client/server, it accommodates enterprise visibility because the data are integrated ® Applications can be built rapidly because there is abundant reuse The DM module is reused ® Half of the PM component is reused ® There are reuse opportunities within the rest of the PM component and the BL component as well ®
More advantages of N-Tier ® IT professionals don’t have to be remotely loaned out to marketing, management, accounting and finance ® They can now be centrally located and managed where career paths will exist for them
Application Servers do Two things ® They serve out web pages upon request ® They do all of the business logic processing.
ERP Modules ® Finance/Accounting ® Sales Marketing ® Production/Materials Management ® Human Resources ® Supply Chain Management ® Customer Relation Management
These modules would be placed in a ® Thin client ® Data server ® Application server ® Mainframe WHICH? ?
ERP Implementation ® Analyze business processes ® Choose modules to implement ® Align level of sophistication ® Finalize delivery and access ® Link with External Partners
Customer Relationship Management ® CRM software plans and executes business processes that involve customer interaction, such as marketing, sales, fulfillment, and service (not manufacturing) ® CRM is focused on customers, not products
Collaborative Product Commerce ® Software concerned with new product design and development (possibly, across corporate boundaries), as well as product lifecycle management
Chapter 10 --Supply Chain Management ® Plants/warehouses/distribution/ information infrastructure ® Most of America’s non-bulk products get moved domestically by _____ (air, water, rail, truck, pipeline). ® What is COVISINT? ? ® What benefits accrue from SCM?
What’s new and exciting in SCM? ? ® Information Technology (specifically enterprise visibility) ® Has changed everything ® SCM Software modules within ERP systems ® I 2 Technologies ® Has reduced uncertainty Which has reduced _______ ® Which is a form of ________ ®
Inventory turns ® Calculated on an annual basis ® The more, the better ® Inputs: ® Cost of goods sold ® Average aggregate value of inventory
Average aggregate value of inventory ® Calculated by taking the product of the unit cost with the number of units and then summing these products for all inventory categories
YEARS OF SUPPLY ® YEARS OF SUPPLY = INVERSE OF INVENTORY TURNS PER YEAR
Days of supply ® Avg agg value of Inv*365/Ann cost of goods sold ® Or simply… 365/inventory turns ® Or simply 365 * years of supply
Manufacturing Inventory Types ® Raw materials inventory ® Work-in-process inventory ® Finished goods inventory
Supply Chain Management Terms ® ® ® ® ® Bullwhip effect Collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment Continuous replenishment Core competencies Cross-docking E-business E-marketplaces E-procurement EDI Inventory turns Landed cost Logistics Order fulfillment RFID Sourcing Vendor-management inventory ® Warehouse management system ® ® ®
Chapter 13 – Inventory Management ® Inventory for Independent demand ® { Not manufacturing inventory, usually— more like retail inventory}
Carrying costs ® Rent ® Lighting/heating ® Security ® Interest (on borrowed capital tied up in inventory) ® Taxes ® Shrink/obsolescence/theft Can also be expressed as a % of product cost A rule of thumb is 30%
Ordering costs—costs related to Transportation Shipping Receiving Inspection
Shortage costs ® This is an opportunity cost ® Is ignored in the simple models you will be using, by assuming that there are no shortages
Back-order costs ® Will assume impatient customers who must have the product they wish to buy NOW. ® So back-ordering is not considered in the simple models we looked at
Continuous Inventory Systems ® Constant order amount, called the EOQ ® EOQ = Economic Order Quantity ® Fixed annual deterministic demand ® Minimizes ® Holding (carrying) costs ® Ordering costs ® Uses re-order point to determine when to order ® Time between orders is not fixed
EOQ models also have ® No shortages/back-ordering ® Constant lead time ® Instantaneous or finite replenishment ® Can take into consideration price discounting ® When doing so, three costs are minimized jointly: Ordering costs, holding costs and purchase costs taken over a year’s time
If the quantity ordered is less than the EOQ, then ® Ordering costs will be greater than holding (carrying) costs
Which gives you lowest holding cost? ® Instantaneous replenishment ® Finite (non-instantaneous) replenishment ® Quantity discounts ® WHICH OF THE ABOVE GIVES YOU LOWEST TOTAL ORDERING COST?
How do we calculate a reorder point? ® Lead time in days times the daily demand plus the safety stock ® Safety stock equals the service level (usually 3 for z) times the standard deviation of daily demand times the sq. rt. of lead time. ® (You will be given the formulas)
How do we calculate… ® Time between orders? ® Production ® Run days in a year / # of orders length ® EOQ rate or order quantity / daily Production
Safety Stocks and Service Levels ® Safety stock = Z value * std. dev. of daily demand * sqrt(lead time) A 95% service level means there is product to sell to customers 95% of the time. For 95% service level, use a Z value of 1. 65 ® For 99% service level, use Z value of 3
Inventory Terms ® ABC system ® Carrying costs ® Continuous inventory system ® Dependent demand ® EOQ ® Fixed-order quantity system ® Fixed time period system ® Capacity ® Independent demand ® Inventory ® In-process inventory ® Non-instantaneous receipt ® Order cycle ® Quantity discount ® Stockout ® Service level ® Efficiency
Simulation ® Two types— ® Continuous ® deterministic VENSIM is an example ® Discrete stochastic PROMODEL is an example ® SERVCEMODEL is an example ® ® Each of these two types differ by method of time advance
Time advance in continuous deterministic simulation ® Time is advanced in small, equidistant increments ® The simulation engine is really integrating differential equations
Time advance in discrete stochastic simulation ® Time is advanced from event to event ® The simulation engine maintains a stack of discrete events chronologically ordered in time, called an events calendar ® The next event to occur is popped off the stack and processed. ® The result of processing the event is that more events are generated and subsequently get saved on the events calendar
MONTE CARLO— ® The computer-generation of random numbers using an
Which simulation gestalt uses activities, events, entities and their attributes? ® Continuous deterministic? ® Discrete stochastic?
The Excel function RAND() generates… Normally-distributed random variates b. Gamma-distributed random variates c. Uniformly-distributed random numbers d. Exponentially-distributed random variates a.
To get a non-uniform random variate, we often start with A normal random variate b. A lognormal random variate c. A uniform random number d. A triangular random variate a.
In discrete/stochastic simulation, we are interested in a. b. c. d. e. Entity idleness Entity travel time Entity time in the system Resource utilization All of the above
In discrete/stochastic simulation, which of the following components has time duration? ® Events ® Activities ® Entities ® Resources ® All of the above
Discrete/stochastic simulation is appropriate for which of the following three decision environments ® Decision Making (DM) under Certainty ® DM under risk and uncertainty ® DM under change and complexity
Math programming models, like the transportation and transshipment models we looked at, are appropriate for which decision making environment ® Decision Making (DM) under Certainty ® DM under risk and uncertainty ® DM under change and complexity
