  • supplier assessment and selection using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process in a steel Manufacturing Company
    Social Science Research Network, 2014
    Co-Authors: Farzad Tahriri, Mohammad Dabbagh, Nader Ale Ebrahim
    Abstract:

    Every organization needs suppliers and no organization can exist without suppliers. Therefore, the organizations approach to suppliers and the selection of the appropriate supplier, its acquisition processes and policies, and its relationships with suppliers, is of vital importance, both to organizations and suppliers alike. No organization can be successful without the support of its supplier base, operationally and strategically, short or long-term.To select the best supplier, it is essential to make an analytical decision based upon tangible and intangible criteria. Chose and management of a supplier has to be congruent with organizational strategy. Therefore, the vision and strategy of the manufacturer are the key drivers for how the supply function will be managed and how supply decisions are made and exectuted. The proposed model in this study was applied in a steel Manufacturing Company in Malaysia with the goal of reducing time in choosing the correct supplier for the Company. This study aims to provide a systematic model stimulating correct supplier selection using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method along with a series of sensitivity analyses which were conducted using the Expert Choice (EC) program to evaluate the impact of changes in the priority of criteria for the suppliers' performance and order quantities. Aims: The main goal of this research is to develop a systematic model towards the best supplier selection. To facilitate the aim of the research, we utilized the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process, which was a combination of AHP and Fuzzy Theory in order to deal with the uncertainties and vagueness of decision makers’ judgement. Study Design: Mention the design of the study here. Place and Duration of Study: The data samples were taken in a steel Manufacturing Company in Malaysia. Methodology: A Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy approach is used using a quantitative and qualitative criteria for selecting and evaluating a suitable supplier selection and a six step was conducted to ensure successful implementation. Results: The results indicate that the model is able to assist decision makers to examine the strengths and weaknesses of supplier selection by comparing them with appropriate criteria, sub-criteria and sub sub-criteria. Conclusion: We developed a Fuzzy AHP multi-criteria decision making model for supplier evaluation and selection in the ABC steel Company in Malaysia. The advantage of the proposed model over other models like the AHP is that, by adoption of fuzzy numbers, it effectively improves the flexibility of the conventional AHP in dealing with the uncertainty and ambiguity associated with different decision makers’ judgments.

  • analysis of production planning in a global Manufacturing Company with process mining
    Journal of Enterprise Information Management, 2018
    Co-Authors: E R Mahendrawathi, Noval Arsad, Hanim Maria Astuti, Renny Pradina Kusumawardani, Rivia Atmajaningtyas Utami
    Abstract:

    Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the result of using process mining to model the production planning (PP) process of a Manufacturing Company that is supported by enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses event logs obtained from the case Company’s ERP database. The steps for this research are planning process mining implementation, extraction and construction of event log, discovering process model with Heuristic Miner and analysis. Findings Process model obtained from process mining shows how the PP is actually conducted. It shows the loop in materials requirement planning and create plan order process. Furthermore, the occurrences of changing plan order date and production line indicate the schedule instability in the case Company. Further analysis of the material management (MM) event log shows the implication of production plan changes on MM. Continuous change in the plan affects material allocation priority and may result in a mismatch between production needs and the materials available. Research limitations/implications The study is only conducted in a single and specific case. Therefore, even though the findings provide good insight, the use of solitary case study does not imply a general result applied to other cases. Hence, there is a need to conduct similar studies on various cases so that a more generic conclusion can be drawn. Practical implications The result provides insights into how the current Company’s policy of adjusting the production plan to accommodate changing demand impacts their operation. It can help the Company to consider a better balance between flexibility and efficiency to improve their process. Originality/value The paper demonstrates the use of process mining to capture the real progression of PP based on the data stored in the Company’s ERP database, which give an insight into how a real Company conducts their PP process, the implication of schedule instability on MM and production. The novelty of this research lies in the use of process mining to attest to the schedule nervousness issue at a process level.

  • implementation and benefits of introducing a computerised maintenance management system into a textile Manufacturing Company
    Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2004
    Co-Authors: C D Odonoghue, James Prendergast
    Abstract:

    Abstract Equipment, be it sophisticated or basic in operation and design, depending on its usage, will inevitably malfunction and breakdown. Within any organisation where manufacture is the primary activity, it is crucial that procedures exist for equipment maintenance. Not only does equipment maintenance need to be planned for, the possibility and probability of breakdowns and disruption to operations must also be considered when planning and scheduling production. This paper examines the basis of various maintenance management strategies used to date in international Manufacturing. These strategies assist the maintenance function and enable the process of maintenance to be optimised. Special attention is given to Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMSs), how this particular strategy was successfully implemented in a medium sized Irish textile Manufacturing Company.
