Demand Forecasting for Strategic Resource Planning
Abstract: Demand forecasting is to forecast the future demand so that manager can easily control the production. Demand is defined as a need (Balbo, Gabriel. 2005). From need we will know how much to supply. Therefore, in this study the expected result is that demand forecasting can be effectively used by the manager to make decision in strategic resource planning. This research study objective is to determine how the implementation of demand forecasting into strategic resource allocation decision can be done and to analyze the issues and develop the new model that will affect the results of demand forecasting and strategic resource planning. To prove this study, the data collection from the firm is needed. The study will be proven from the simulation of the demand forecasting with the collected data from the firm in 4-5 years in order find the best model. The demand data of steel is provided by the Joon Hee MICRON Sdn. Bhd. Nevertheless, Demand Forecasting and Strategic Resource planning are having positive relationship. The hypothesis is accepted. The objectives are successfully achieved and the new model is created. Decisions are made all the time, although sometimes the decision comes unconsciously (Fraga & Anema, 2009). Demand forecasting will be the key to effective decision making process for strategic resource planning.

Presentation Abstract:
Vehicle Roof racks/rails are designed for carrying luggage during customers’ travels. These rails need to be strong enough to be able to carry the luggage weight as well as be able to withstand aerodynamic loads that are generated when the vehicle is travelling at high speeds on highways. Traditionally, roof rail gage thickness is increased to account for these load cases (since these are manufactured by extrusion), but doing so leads to increased mass which adversely affects fuel efficiency.
The current study focuses on providing the guidelines for strategically placing lightening holes and optimizing gage thickness so that the final design is robust to noise parameters and saves the most mass without adversely impacting wind noise performance while minimizing stress. The project applied Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) techniques to optimize roof rail parameters in order to improve the load carrying capacity while minimizing the mass.

“Lost Secrets of the Origin of Six Sigma”
Abstract: Motorola introduced Six Sigma to the world in 1987 after it won the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Its quality journey began in 1980, and it had reduced defects by 10:1, or 90% by 1985. The Six Sigma process Motorola introduced to the world in 1987 featured the strategy it had used since 1980, but they removed their most powerful tools to protect the competitive advantage they had created. This presentation documents exactly what happened and reveals the convergent tools that were removed. Attendees will learn how to modify their existing Six Sigma processes to take them back to back to their roots so they can deliver bigger results faster – 90-100% improvement in just days to weeks.
Bio: Gregg Young is President and Founder of Young Associates, Inc. (http://youngassocinc.com). He has worked with large corporations and small businesses helping them to solve problems, improve quality, increase profits, and develop successful new products. Gregg has spent over 40 years solving problems, leading teams, and teaching problem solving skills. He experienced both successes and frustrations, so he studied dozens of processes searching for best practices he could add to his clients’ processes so they would deliver bigger results faster. When he discovered that best practices do exist, it sparked his passion to share this knowledge, so that anyone can solve problems as effectively as Sherlock Holmes solved crimes. He is the author of three books focused on upgrading business processes by adding convergent, observation-based methods to existing processes. His latest book is Reasoning Backward: How Sherlock Holmes Can Make You a Better Problem Solver. It adapts these techniques for students as well as businesses, providing everyone with the skills they need to solve problems effectively and create a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. His most recent work has been the development of Active Time Profiles, a graphic tool to accelerate and focus cycle time reduction in any system. Young has a B.A. in Chemistry from Rice University.

Modeling Analytical Hierarchy Process and Fuzzy Inference System Tsukamoto for Crude Palm Oil Production Planning
Abstract: Decision making has become a routine activities carried out by the production manager at Sindora Palm Oil Mill. The decision making process does not always run smoothly, sometimes arisen obstacles because uncertainty and vagueness. The obstacles come from various factors of production such as capital, labor and raw materials and machine, and as well as other factors such as, suppliers, inventory and market demand. These obstacles can be cause major problems if not dealt with quickly and accurately. One of the problems that will arise is the decline in production quantity. Therefore, this study intended to help the company to determine the optimal amount of crude palm oil production and to determine the order of priority factors influencing the decline in production quantity and also apply the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Inference System Tsukamoto (FIS Tsukamoto) methods in the production planning the company to assist and facilitate the decision-makers in making decisions. FIS Tsukamoto is a method for decision making that using monotone reasoning. The data input obtained from documentation like inventory, demand and production data. In addition, AHP also is a method for decision making and the data obtained from interviews and questionnaire. The results of this study is the total production and inventories of Crude Palm Oil by the year 2014 turned into optimal and stable; profit is higher than previously; then, the plot data also showed that the total production in 2014 is not stable because there are still decreased. Then, the main factors affecting the decline of total production is internal factors. The Order of priority of the internal factors is factor capital, labor, raw materials and technology & machines. This study is particular suited if used in crude palm oil company like Sindora Palm Oil Mill, because give more benefit to the company.

“Using Active Time Profiles to Jumpstart Lean and Cycle Time Improvement”
Abstract: The hardest part of making Lean and Cycle Time improvements in a process is knowing where to start. The Active Time Profile was developed to address this challenge. It uses active, hands-on time and dead time for every step in a process, data already available in a Value Stream Map, and puts it into an Excel template that immediately shows all the constraints in the system and all the excessive working inventories. Improvement teams immediately know what issues to address first, and next, and so on. The template also analyzes “what if” potential improvements to show their impact. If cost and selling price data are included, the template shows profitability and breakeven points for proposed improvements. This presentation will go through the template and use a case study of a sock manufacturing plant in India to demonstrate the tool’s utility. Mr. Young, the creator of the template, will make it available to attendees who are interested.
Bio: Gregg Young is President and Founder of Young Associates, Inc. (http://youngassocinc.com). He has worked with large corporations and small businesses helping them to solve problems, improve quality, increase profits, and develop successful new products. Gregg has spent over 40 years solving problems, leading teams, and teaching problem solving skills. He experienced both successes and frustrations, so he studied dozens of processes searching for best practices he could add to his clients’ processes so they would deliver bigger results faster. When he discovered that best practices do exist, it sparked his passion to share this knowledge, so that anyone can solve problems as effectively as Sherlock Holmes solved crimes. He is the author of three books focused on upgrading business processes by adding convergent, observation-based methods to existing processes. His latest book is Reasoning Backward: How Sherlock Holmes Can Make You a Better Problem Solver. It adapts these techniques for students as well as businesses, providing everyone with the skills they need to solve problems effectively and create a competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
