Abstract
Productivity and efficiency measurement and improvement go hand in hand, because one cannot improve what one cannot measure. Hence measuring productivity and efficiency is essential for all kinds of production plants to perform better. There is huge scope for research on measurement of the productivity and efficiency for pre-serial production plant, as there are no findings of literatures in this regard. This research is about the operations of pre-serial production plants and bottlenecks in adopting the standard methodologies of measurement of productivity and efficiency which are generally followed in serial production and batch production plants & developing a new measurement technique for productivity & efficiency for pre-serial & prototype production plants. As per the findings, the appropriate methodology for measurement of productivity and efficiency of Pre-serial production plants is not well set till now. Most of the companies who operates pre-serial production plants adapted the methodologies which are suitable only for serial production.
As compared to serial and batch production plants, the pre-serial production plants work totally differently. In serial production plants the product is optimized and all the relevant data which contributes in the measurement of productivity and efficiency is available. The pre-serial plants are responsible for product optimization. In these plants the product optimization is primary objective and process is secondary. Hence we cannot finalize the inputs like cycle time, machining time; labor usage till the product is finalized. The value of input measures will keep on changing during optimization of product and process. Hence using these values for measurement of productivity makes no sense. Once the product is optimized then the suitable processes will get optimized and the trails will takes place. The results from trails will be considered as the input measures for productivity measurement. As the working methodology and process of serial and pre-serial production plants differs from each other, there is a need to develop a measurement technique which can efficiently measure the productivity of pre-serial plants.
The author will work on defining a new measurement model/methodology for pre-serial plants and as per the pre-study it has been decided that the author will divide the production process into micro processes and define the standard for each process which will be considered as standard and compared with actual parameters which will leads to find out productivity and efficiency of the pre-serial production plants. This horizontal deployment of this methodology can be done to batch production and also prototype production plants with suitable modifications.
Session IV:
Big Data in Manufacturing and Service Industry
4:00 – 7:00 pm (Tuesday) – Room – Starhill 5
Dr. Andrew Kusiak
Intelligent Systems Laboratory
Professor – Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
The University of Iowa
Iowa City, Iowa, USA
Abstract:
Big data will play a key role in shaping the design and innovation of products, production, and services by making them smarter, better connected, more efficient and widely accessible. Data analysis has been enlarging its footprint in business and engineering applications for the last two decades. The industrial engineering profession can be at the forefront of applying big data analysis and research in product development, manufacturing, and service areas. Basic data mining algorithms applicable to analysis of big data are introduced. Applications of big data analysis in product design and innovation, manufacturing, remanufacturing, and service domains will be the focus.
Industrial engineering needs to be open to embracing applications where data offers value. Product design and development is a highly multidisciplinary process awaiting new solutions. It is widely recognized that design of an innovative product considers data streams originating at customers, experts, trails of data left by products throughout their lifetime, and cyberspace. Disruptive innovations often happen because they meet this expanded set of requirements.
Traditional manufacturing and remanufacturing as well as emerging manufacturing technologies and systems involve data. Data science offers tools for fusing diverse data steams (parameters) that would not be possible with traditional approaches such as operations research or simulation. Sustainability considerations offer another set of data analysis opportunities. Service industry is plentiful of opportunities for big data opportunities to be discussed besides the product design and innovation, manufacturing, remanufacturing, and sustainability applications.

TITLE: The challenges or issues that Malaysian industries are facing in order to implement and successfully sustain the lean manufacturing processes.
Abstract – One of the main issues with the different industries today is to manufacture products that help in elimination cost as well as works towards waste reduction. These and many other industries related problems had led to the formation of lean manufacturing, a method that was initially implemented by Toyota of Japan. However, there is very little, almost no research that is done on lean manufacturing in Malaysia and there is a lot of struggle that Malaysian manufacturing industry is facing in the implementation and sustenance of lean principles as well as policies. The present project research is an attempt to find the challenges or issues that Malaysian industries are facing in order to implement and successfully sustain the lean manufacturing processes. The researcher would try to investigate on the topic by taking mixed analysis method, where both primary and secondary researches would be conducted. This research would also take in the different principles and concepts in lean manufacturing and collate it with the primary findings. Overall, this study can be used as a benchmarking for successful lean manufacturing implementation in other developing countries.

Designing demand and supply operation tailored to industry sector and business category
Abstract
The internationalization of corporate activities and an advancing international division of labor are driven by the progress of logistics and information technology. Meanwhile, as both natural and political risks increase, an accident in one region can impact the overall supply chain. Under the circumstances, because of uncertainty on both the supply and demand sides, those involved with the supply chain should understand and estimate the fluctuation swiftly and precisely, optimizing procurement, production, and inventories. From a practical perspective, a demand–supply operation varies greatly by industry sector, business category, and regional characteristics, as does supply chain management systems.
For example, the demand for materials such as metals and chemical products is relatively stable; however, the production process involves many constraints in the form of annealing, washing, and setup. These constraints pose difficulties in supply adjustments. Therefore, the manufacturers focus on the stable control of supply. On the other hand, the demand for home appliances is turbulent. Thus, the manufacturers in this industry focus on the flexible control of supply following changes in demand.
Additionally, acceptable supply lead times including transport tend to be shorter in small countries like Japan than in large countries like the U.S. This difference should produce a different level of difficulty in demand–supply coordination.
The market of the supply chain planning (SCP) system as a replacement of the production planning system is rapidly growing; however, the introduction of SCP cannot achieve success unless the system is designed to fit the industry and business category.
