...5-S, or the five pillars of the visual workplace, is a systematic process of workplace organization. When I ask manufacturing people about the components of 5-S, most of them don’t think they are relevant. “That’s just a system of keeping things organized and clean, right? Oh yeah, and they have this crazy idea that toolboxes are bad.” Or, sometimes I hear: “Why make a big program out of cleaning up?” 5-S is not simply eliminating toolboxes and cleaning up. While the concepts are easy to understand, most companies have not implemented them. Implementation of 5-S has many benefits: higher quality, lower costs, reliable deliveries and improved safety … to name a few. These benefits are clearly relevant to any manufacturer, and they are not had simply by eliminating toolboxes and cleaning up. The intent of 5-S is to have only what you need available in the workplace, a designated place for everything, a standard way of doing things and the discipline to maintain it. Created in Japan, the components of 5-S are: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu and shitsuke. Translated to English, we have: Sort: Remove all items from the workplace that are not needed for current production. Set in order: Arrange needed items so that they are easy to find and put away. Items used often are placed closer to the employee. Shine: Make sure everything is clean, functioning and ready to go. Standardize: This is the method you use to maintain the first three S’s. Sustain: Make a habit of properly...

...DEFINITION (ABC) Activity-Based Costing is the costing approach that identifies and classifies a business’s activities and then allocates a cost to each activity. ABC subsequently assigns these costs to all the services or products associated with the actual consumption. By applying ABC, a business can accurately estimate the cost of an individual product or service. Organisations can then recognize and remove those products or services that are unprofitable or adjust pricing to match strategic decisions. This tool is generally used for evaluating product/service and customer cost and profitability. Thus ABC can be used to support strategic decisions such as pricing, outsourcing, identification and measurement of process enhancement initiatives. EXTRA QUESTION: What differences do you see between applying ABC in a service company (as the Co-Operative Bank) and in a manufacturing company? MANUFACTURED PRODUCT OR SERVICE PERSPECTIVE The immense difference between applying ABC to a service company as apposed to a manufacturing company is that with a manufacturing company, the product costs are easily identifiable and quantifiable because they consist of direct materials and direct labour associated with the products. Manufacturing overheads or indirect production costs can be allocated towards the product using absorption costing relatively easily unless management want to perform a more accurate intensive ABC model that will be more tedious and thus extremely time...

...Executive Summary Black & Decker had always been a market leader in the power tools industry. Many changes took place that helped out in the company in the short run, but hurt in the long run. In 2000 Black and Decker Corporation was still reeling from the financial and strategic problems stemming from the company's acquisition of Emhart Corporation in 1989. In late 1998 Black & Decker management celebrated the completion of an almost decade-long effort to divest nonstrategic business gained through its 1989 acquisition of Emhart Corporation and expected the company to enter a long-awaited period of growth as its entire management refocused its attention on its core power tools, plumbing, and security hardware business. Archibald believed that "This portfolio restructuring will allow us to focus on core operations that can deliver dependable and superior operating and financial results." However the portfolio restructuring did little to improve the market performance of the company's securities. Yet Archibald and the management continued to express confidence that the company's streamline portfolio would allow Black & Decker to achieve revenue and earnings growth that the market would find impressive. So far the 1998 divestitures have not produced steady increases in the company's stock price, but look promising for the future due to the efforts to refocus efforts on the successful power tools line. Strategic planning team evaluation Over the years, Black & Decker...

...To: Chad Thomas Founder Chad's Creative Concepts From: Subject: Chad's Creative Concepts Date: Jan. 07, 2015 Chad's Creative Concepts is a small custom furniture manufacturing company that has earned a reputation for innovative designs and excellent quality by focusing production on specialty designed furniture. Chad's Creative Concepts has grown substantially and has caused significant problems between standardized furniture and specialty designed furniture production. The problems concern external operations and internal operations of manufacturing. Chad's Creative Concepts has to set priorities to schedule different orders. Orders for low running and high running furniture pieces are being accepted because sales have increased. Chad's Creative Concepts has not increased the amount of equipment or capacity needed to handle the business growth. Low running and high running furniture pieces are now competing for the same manufacturing capacity. Chad's Creative Concepts has to emphasize the importance of on time delivery and manufacturing costs. Low running furniture pieces and high running furniture piece have a different set of priorities. Sales and marketing have not considered the conflict between dedicating equipment to standardized pieces and specialty equipment for custom pieces. Producing standard furniture pieces has created significant growth for the company. The growth has also caused the cost of inventory and operational costs to increase...

...For 85 years, the Williams Machine Tool Company had provided quality products to its clients, becoming the third largest U.S.-based machine tool company by 1990. The company was highly profitable and had an extremely low employee turnover rate. Pay and benefits were excellent. Between 1980 and 1990, the company’s profits soared to record levels. The company’s success was due to one product line of standard manufacturing machine tools. Williams spent most of its time and effort looking for ways to improve its bread-and-butter product line rather than to develop new products. The product line was so successful that companies were willing to modify their production lines around these machine tools rather than asking Williams for major modifications to the machine tools. By 1990, Williams Company was extremely complacent, expecting this phenomenal success with one product line to continue for 20 to 25 more years. The recession of the early 1990s forced management to realign their thinking. Cutbacks in production had decreased the demand for the standard machine tools. More and more customers were asking for either major modifications to the standard machine tools or a completely new product design. The marketplace was changing and senior management recognized that a new strategic focus was necessary. However, lower-level management and the work force, especially engineering, were strongly resisting a change. The employees, many of them with over 20 years of employment at Williams...

...In this individual paper, we would like you to consider how you might use the tools from the Leading Teams course to develop your leadership skills over the coming year. This assignment has two goals: • Nudge you into practicing the tools and concepts discussed in class. • Launch your leadership development efforts now, at the beginning of the program. Assignment length: Because I want you to put the majority of your effort into "doing" and "thinking" (drawing lessons from the experience, deciding on next steps), we are going to keep the writing part short. 3 pages maximum, double spaced. Due date: Tuesday, September 2, 5 pm (via Turnitin on Blackboard) (Note the due date has been moved back by one day) Preparation: Step 1: Identify a leadership skill you would like to develop, and a tool or framework from the course that might help you to do so. For example, you might decide that you want to develop the emotional facet of your leadership, and will use one of the emotion management tools to do this. Step 2: Apply the tool or framework multiple times over the coming two-week period. • IMPORTANT: Get started now. The time investment can (and should) be short (a few minutes a day), but could not usefully be crammed into the last day. • Be creative. If you can think of a novel way to apply some of the course ideas, great. The important thing is that you do something. • Track what you are doing. Step 3: Reflect on what...

...Determine which pieces of equipment are critical to the operation (can’t run without it). 2. Write PM’s on these pieces of equipment (I have a few written already) using the owners manuals as your starting point. Chances are your PM’s will look nothing like your originals once you are rolling. 3. Inventory your spare parts using the total quantities to determine the proper storage location. You want to make sure that you are not storing a bunch of “air”. Most likely you will start to run out of locations once you expand, so it is better to “right size” the parts up front the best you can. You will also continue to move parts in the storeroom as the min/max change or you determine that you do not need to stock that part anymore. 4. Determine your storeroom location labeling system and mark/label the locations so that you have a location to store the materials. 5. Enter the location in the parts data within bigfoot. It would be beneficial to also enter the quantities at that point. Once you have the part numbers/locations/qtys in place, I would have the techs communicate to the storeroom what parts were checked out so that inventory numbers can be updated. I would suggest you get the techs attaching the parts in the system ASAP to help keep inventory numbers accurate. This is not easy. Once you have a working system, you enter in the part number information for whatever supplier you are going to use to source parts. Our current part numbers are based on the equipment manufacturer...

...Hamilton Power Tools marketed industrial products by catering to constructional and industrial tool market. Their construction product lines included power trowels, power trowels, concrete vibrators, generators and power driven tools. Their industrial lines were primarily pneumatic tools: drills, screwdrivers etc. One of their products – gasoline-powered chain saw was slightly different from the above tools. Mr. Campagna, the marketing manager for Hamilton Power Tools knew that the chain saw industry primarily catered to following markets:-Professionals (lumberjacks), farmers, institutions and casual users. Among these casual user segment was considered to be the future growth market. Hamilton Power Tools thus hired Consumer Metrics of Chicago to conduct two research projects. The first one was a projective technique known as Thematic Apperception Test(TAT) using picture response techniques. The basic premise of TAT research is that it in an unstructured and indirect manner encourages respondents to project their emotions, needs, motives, attitude and values at a sub-conscious level. Purpose of research: The research was primarily exploratory to gain insights into reasons why people make certain purchases. Mr. Campagna also wanted to get a flavour of language people use in talking about chain saw. Analysis of method: The research was conducted in states of Illionois and Wisconsin. People who were selected for TAT were screened on basis of whether they planned to purchase...
