  1. III. Operational Measures • Flow Time • Capacity and Flow Rate

  2. Inputs Outputs Operational Measures and Direct Cost • Inventory (in production setting, referred to as Working in Process WIP): the number of units contained within the process. • Working capital shown in your balance sheet • Flow Time (throughput time): the time it takes a unit to get through the process. • Shorter flow times reduce the time delay between occurrence of demand and its fulfillment in the form of supply • Flow Rate (throughput rate, output rate): the rate at which the process is delivering output. • Higher flow rate generates more revenues shown in your income statement when capacity is tight. • The maximum rate with which the process can generate supply is called the capacity of the process. • Direct Cost: incurred when transforming a unit from input to output

  6. Levers for Reducing Flow Time • See page 73-76: 4.5 – 4.6 • Flow time: • Levers:

  7. oven Process time Tp c ovens Process time Tp Capacity (units/unit time) • Capacity: maximal units a process can process per unit of time • Capacity of a Single Resource • Capacity of the oven = • Capacity of c Identical Resources • capacity of bake operation = • Capacity of a network of resources (system capacity)

  8. Input rate Output rate R Flow Rate (units/unit time) • Flow rate: the units that a process actually does process per unit of time • Flow rate R = • Cycle time = • Process utilization = • Pipeline Principle: In the long run, on average, input rate = output rate R

  16. Today’s Takeaways Operational Measures: • Flow Time • Critical path • Theoretical vs. actual, value added vs. non value added • Levers for improving flow time • Flow Rate (cycle time) • Capacity, bottleneck, levers for improving throughput • Utilization, server or machine idle time • Pipeline principal • Inventory (next lecture)
