Definitions used in Break-Even Analysis:
Fixed Cost:The sum of all costs required to produce the first unit of a product. This amount doesnot vary as production increases or decreases, until new capital expenditures areneeded.
Variable Unit Cost:Costs that vary directly with the production of one additional unit.
Expected Unit Sales:Number of units of the product projected to be sold over a specific period of time.
Unit Price:The amount of money charged to the customer for each unit of a product or service.
Total Variable Cost = (Expected Unit Sales * Variable Unit Cost )
The product of expected unit sales and variable unit cost.
Total Cost = (Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost )The sum of the fixed cost and total variable cost for any given level of production.

Definitions used in Break-Even Analysis
Total Revenue:
The product of expected unit sales and unit price.(Expected Unit Sales * Unit Price )
Profit (or Loss):The monetary gain (or loss) resulting from revenues aftersubtracting all associated costs. (Total Revenue - Total Costs)
Break Even:Number of units that must be sold in order to produce a profit ofzero (but will recover all associated costs).(Break Even = Fixed Cost / (Unit Price - Variable Unit Cost))

Break-Even Analysis
Manufacturing costs are divided into 2 main groups;
Fixed costs,
variable costs
Fixed costs
Examples: rent, property tax, property insurance,wage of permanent employees, depreciation
These costs are fixedthroughout the year
do not depend on the production level. When we have a plant, then the above costs are fixed,
no matter we produce one unit or one million units.

In reality they are not completely fixed, usually we have
semi-fixed cost. However, in BEA we assumethey are fixed (at least over the
manufacturing range that we are concerned with).

Variable costs
Costs of raw material, packaging material, direct labor,machine utilities are main variable costs.
These costs are fixedper unit of production.
The total variable costs depend on the production
level. The higher the production, the higher the total variable
costs.

Break Even Analysis (BEA) Therefore, the overall break-even analysis can be pictorially represented in the
following graph
F = fixed cost V = variable cost per unit Q = production volume P = price per unit Total Cost (TC) = Total Revenue (TR) TC = F + VQ
TR = P Q F+VQ = P Q QBEQ = F / (P-V)

Example: overall break-even analysis
500,000$ total yearly fixed costs.
150$ / unit variable costs
200$ / unit sale price
QBE=500000/(200-150) =10000 units
If our market research indicates that the presentdemand is > 10000, then this manufacturing system iseconomically feasible.

Reject Allowance Problem
When producing small batches the use of averagevalues is less appropriate.
Example: consider a foundry that produces smallnumbers of custom-designed castings.
If conditions are such that the foundry has only onechance to produce the number of castings required,then the probability of a casting being good should beconsidered when determining the batch size to be
produced.
In determining how many castings to produce, thefollowing questions should be taken care of.

Example: Reject Allowance Problem
If maximum expected profit is desired ,the value of Qcan be determined by enumerating over various values ofQ.
A foundry produces castings to order. An order for 20custom-designed castings has been received. The casting
process cost $ 1,100 per unit scheduled. If a casting is notsold, it has a recycle value of $ 200. The customer hasindicated a willingness to pay $2500 per casting for 20acceptable castings-no more no less. Based on historical
records, the probability distribution given in table 2.6 havebeen estimated. How many castings should be scheduledfor production to maximize expected profit? What is theprobability of loosing money at this production level?

Example: Reject Allowance Problem
If x < 20 (good castings do not meet the requirement )
All wasted = $ 200 * Q
If x >= 20 then you will get the revenue that is
$ 20 * 2500 but the additional castings were a waste
$ 200 * (Q-20) what ever is excess (>20)
Cost of producing one casting $1100
Cost of producing Q castings = $1100 * Q

Equipment Fractions The quantityof equipmentrequired for an operation
is referred to as the equipment fraction. The equipment fraction may be determined for an
operation by dividing the total time required to perform
the operation by the time available to complete theoperation.
The total time required to perform an operation is theproduct of the standard timefor the operationand
the number of times the operation is to be performed. Example: if it takes hr to duplicate a paper and if six
papers are to be duplicated in 2 hrs.

Equipment Fractions Total time = standard time of the operation * numbers
of times the operation is to be performed Total time = * 6 = 3 hrs Time available =2 hrs Equipment fraction = total time / time available = 3/2 = 1.5
1.5 duplicating machines are required It actually depends on the following questions1. Are the papers actually being duplicated according to
the hr per paper standard?2. Is the duplicating machine available when needed
during the 2-hr period?3. Are the standard time , the number of papers, and
the time the equipment is actually available knownwith certainty and fixed over time?

Equipment Fractions1. The first question may be handled by dividing the standard
time by the historical efficiency of performing the operation.
2. The second question may be handled by multiplying the timethe equipment is available to complete an operation by thehistorical reliability factor for the equipment.
The reliability factor is the percentage of timethe equipment is
actually producing and is not down because of malfunction orplanned maintenance.
3. The third question dealing with uncertainty and time-varyingnature of machine fraction variables can be an importantfactor in determining process requirements.
If considerable uncertainty and variation over time exists, itmay be useful to consider using probability distributions,instead of point estimates for the parameters, and utilize aprobabilistic machine fraction model.

following factors Number of shifts (same machine can work in more than one
shift)
Setup times (if machines are not dedicated, the longer thesetup, the more machine needed)
Degree of flexibility (customers may require small lot sizes ofdifferent products delivered frequentlyextra machine capacitywill be required to handle these requests)
Layout type (dedicating manufacturing cells or focused
factories to the production of product families may require moremachines).

Example
A machine part has a standard machinery time of 2.8
min per part on a milling machine. During an 8-hr shift200 units are to be produced. Of the 480 min availablefor production, the milling machine will be operational80% of the time. During the time the machine is
operational, parts are produced at a rate equal to 95% of the standard rate. How many milling machinesare required?
S =2.8 Q = 200 E=0.95 H=8 * 60 = 480 min
R = .80 F = 2.8 * 200 / 0.95 * 480 * .80 = 1.535 machines per

1.0 minute to unload a machine
6 minutes to automatic machine time
0.5 minute to inspect and pack a finished part.
The analysis begins with each machine empty and the operatorstanding in front of machine 1 (M 1)
The operator loads M1, walks to M-2 loads M-2 walks to M3,load M3, walks to M1 unloads M1, loads M1, inspects andpacks the part removed from M1, travels to M2, unloads m2..
It takes 12 minutes for the operator and three machines toachieve a steady-state condition, thereafter a repeating cycle of9 minutes (provided no interruption )

Facilities Design Once the product, process, and schedule design decisions
have been made, the facilities planner needs to organize the
information and generate and evaluatelayout, handling,storage, and unit load designalternatives.
Some typical business objectives include breakthrough in production cost, on-time delivery, quality, and lead time. In 1950 Dr. W.E. Deming proposed a model for continuous
process improvementthat involves four steps.

a tool to group ideas.
a group of people write down ideas on "sticky notes." Then those notes are stock on a large piece of paper on the
wall randomly.
Then a select group will move the notes into logical groupings
without talking (no one in the room will talk). People can move notes that other people have moved.
Those moving the notes around will place titles over the notesto capture the theme of the notes.
As things seem to be basically set (little or no currentmovement of notes) the facilitator will call an end to the silentmovement.

1. Affinity Diagram Then people can discuss the logical groups, interconnections,
etc..
Why should teams use the Affinity process? The Affinity process is a good way to get people to work on a
creative level to address difficult issues. It may be used in situations that are unknown or unexplored by
a team, or in circumstances that seem confusing or
disorganized, such as when people with diverse experiencesform a new team, or when members have incompleteknowledge of the area of analysis.
One benefit of this tool is to encourage participation fromeverybody.
Those who are less vocal will be able to write their notes andmove notes without the normal pressures of those who aremost vocal dominating the process.

When shouldn't we use the Affinity process?
As a rule of thumb, if less than 15 items of informationhave been identified, you can skip the Affinity process.
Instead, you can clarify and combine the ideas andthen use one of the Decision-Making Tools to identifythe highest priority items.
What Is an Affinity Diagram?
A tool that gathers large amounts of language data(ideas, opinions, issues) and organizes them intogroupings based on their natural relationships.

How is an Affinity Diagram created?
Affinitizing is a process performed by a group or team.
The idea is to meld the perspectives, opinions, andinsights of a group of people who are knowledgeable
about the issues.
The process of developing an Affinity Diagram seems
to work best when there are no more than five or sixparticipants.

seven management and planning tools2: Interrelationship Digraph
a chart showing the relationship between factors.
All the factors to be considered are placed in a box on a pieceof paper.
Then lines are drawn from each box that has an impact onanother box to that box (with an arrow pointing in the direction
of impact). This tool is used in complex situations with many factors.
It is among the least used tools (and in my experience that isfor good reason, it just is not that useful - John).
The diagram will show which factors have the largest numberof factors that they influence (by counting the number of arrowsdrawn from the box).

To create a Relations Diagram:
Agree on the issue or question.
Add a symbol to the diagram for every element involved in theissue. Compare each element to all others. Use an "influence" arrow
to connect related elements. The arrows should be drawn from the element that influences to
the one influenced. If two elements influence each other, the arrow should be
drawn to reflect the stronger influence. Count the arrows. The elements with the most outgoing arrows will be root causes
or drivers. The ones with the most incoming arrows will be key outcomes
or results.

Tree Diagram (Breakdown Structure) - displays the tasks, and
sub tasks, associated with achieving a goal. Starting with the goal "branches" are added to the "tree" to
show the items that must be addressed to reach the objective.
Then those "branches" are further broken out into smallerbranches.
Thus large projects can be illustrated in detail to allow for betterunderstanding of what tasks must be accomplished to meet theoverall goal.
The ultimate goal is shown on the left with more details being
shown on the right of the diagram. The farthest right of the diagram will consist of action items.

The Matrix Diagram is an analysis tool that facilitates the
systematic analysis of the strengths of relationships betweentwo or more sets of elements.
It consists of a table whose main rows and columns containthe elements being inter-related, with the rest of its cellscontaining symbols or numbers that denote the strengths ofrelationship between the elements.
The elements being inter-related in a matrix diagram may be in
the form of information, concepts, conditions, activities, or otherintangible items, as well as physical things such as people,equipment, tools, and materials.

members of a given project;
2) selection of a process, equipment, or material for a givenpurpose; 3) identifying the most critical factors affecting a given problem
area; 4) matching of tasks to objectives, etc.
The elements belonging to the same row or column shouldhave something in common, so that they comprise a set thatrepresents something.

The Prioritization Matrix provides a way of sorting a
diverse set of items into an order of importance.
It also enables their relativeimportance to be identifiedby deriving a numerical value of the importance of
each item.
Deciding what is really important from a list of issuescan be very difficult, especially if there is no objectivedata available and the people involved have adifference of opinion about which should be actedupon first.

How to understand it
For example, when customers are asking for a list of
product enhancements, how do you decide which toimplement?
The Prioritization Matrix provides a way of sorting a
diverse set of items into an order of importance. It also enables their relativeimportance to be identified
by deriving a numerical value of the importance ofeach item.
Thus an item with a score of 223 is clearly far moreimportant than one with a score of 23, but is not muchmore important than one with a score of 219.

seven managemen an p ann ng oo s5: Prioritization Matrix
In order that the items can be compared with one another inthis way, each item is scored against each of a set of keycriteria, and the scores for each item are then summed.
For example, a potential solution of 'Use high grade materials'will get a high score on the criterion of, 'Low cost ofmaintenance', but will get low score on 'Low cost of materials'.
A good criterion reflects key goals and enables objectivemeasurements to be made.
Thus 'material cost' is measurable and reflects a business profitgoal, whilst 'simplicity' may not reflect any goals and be difficultto score.
When there are multiple criteria, it may also be important totake into account the fact that some criteria are more importantthan others.
This can be implemented by allocating weightingvalues to eachcriteria, as Fig 1, below.

g p g6: Contingency Diagram
A Contingency Diagram is used anytime you want to
brainstorm ideas. It takes advantage of human nature by utilizing the critic that
resides in all of us.
With this tool, you change the brainstorming topic to be the
opposite of what you really want. For example, if your team is supposed to brainstorm ideas for
reducing cost, the team brainstorms ways to increase cost.
If you want to improve attendance, brainstorm ideas to reduce
attendance. You then take each idea and work on how to eliminate it from
your environment.

Ask the team to analyze the list and develop ideas for solving
the problem. Many solutions can be found simply by reversing some of the
ideas on the list.
Others can be discovered through patterns and interesting
combinations of negative ideas. In either case, the list of "bad" ideas is a tremendous stimulus
for generating "good" ideas.
Next time you face the same old problems and a team tired of
trying to solve them, cut the team loose on ways to make theproblem worse.
It will be fun, energizing, and most of alleffective.

An activity network diagram is a schedule for the completion ofa complex project.
The Activity Network Diagram (AND), also referred to as anArrow Diagram or PERT Diagram, is used to identify the time-sequence of events necessary to achieve an objective.
When timing is critical, this tool helps teams to understand thespecific sequence of events that drives the time required toachieve the objective.

An activity network diagram can help you work out the most
efficient sequence of events needed to complete your project. You can use it if you want to create a realistic project schedule
by graphically showing:
the total amount of time needed to complete the project;
the sequence in which tasks must be carried out;
which tasks can be carried out at the same time; and
which are the critical tasks that you need to keep an eye on.

Some tips on how to do this:
Beginning with the first task, calculate the earliest time each
task could be started (Early Start: ES). You do this by adding the duration of each task to the
cumulative duration of its previous tasks.
This is called the forward pass.
