The Problem

 

The finished goods will be delivered to the customer together with the pallets. The company is currently facing a problem in meeting their customer demand causing a low service level. This is mainly due to production downtime (which mainly due to stock outs at the supplier-facing inventory). Based on the Production Downtime Information Forms (PDIF), the reason for each production downtime is due to stock outs of its particular sub-components. The failure of the supplier to deliver the components as required by the plant is seen to be the major problem.

The solution

 

For the short term solution, UTM-CIAM helped EPMB to develop a mathematical model and a prototype system in EXCEL in determining the optimal production quantity and allocation of resources.
