| Abstract | Business today has changed very fast and continues to change rapidly. Demanding customers, e-commerce and new entrants and constantly creating pressure on the manufacturers for responsiveness and sh01ier cycle times. With more choices in hand customers are becoming more and more demanding. Customer satisfaction must be guaranteed by delivering the right thing to the right place at the right time. Under these circumstances OLIC (Thailand) is facing a major problem in their product delivery. According to the information from the Manufacturing Director, 80% of their products are delivered beyond the promised time, and few of them are even delivered beyond one month. OLIC promises to deliver the order within 3 months of receiving the order. Whereas the ideal production time takes only about 13 days. Data obtained from the plant reveals that there is a major idle time during the production planning stage. Eve1y product has to wait for an average of one month before their production is scheduled. This waiting time adds up to the delay. In addition there are some bottlenecks, that is some machines has reached its maximum capacity utilization. Due to inefficient planning bottlenecks are left idle. This research attempts to study the reasons behind this delay and suggest some modifications that may be helpful in the manufacturing of OLIC products. |
