MRP Benefits

- low levels of in process inventory -ability to track material requirements -ability to evaluate capacity requirements -a means of allocating production time

reasons for diseconomies of scale

-distribution costs increase due to traffic congestion and shipping from a centralized facility rather than multiple smaller facilities -complexity increases costs -inflexibility can be an issue -additional levels of bureaucracy -overtime costs

ERP

-enables organization to deal directly with key suppliers -access to availability of key suppliers' resources -key costumers can access firms inventory info- manufacturing and delivery schedules -eliminates inconsistencies and incompatibility -automates business processes rapidly -minimize delivery lead times

reasons for economies of scales

-fixed costs are spread over a larger number of units -construction costs increase at a decreasing rate as facility size increases -processing costs decrease due to standardization

reasons to study decision analysis

-make better decisions -gather your thoughts -organize subjective ideas and judgements

service capacity challenges

-need to be near costumers -inability to store services -degree of demand volatility

Disadvantages of ERP

-requires substantial capital -time and money to evaluate, purchase, implement, train -very complex -difficult to implement -restructure firms processes to be compatible

binding constraints

-shade price values that are non-zero -have no slack or surplus -changing RHS will lead to change in optimal decision values and change the value of objective function

non-binding constraints

-shadow price values that are equal to zero -have slack or surplus -changing RHS will have no effect on optimal solution

Advantages of ERP

-uses single database and common software infrastructure to provide broader scope and up to date info -better management decisions -communicate operational changes fast -integrated with internet technology -VISIBILITY -increases productivity -communicate standardized method -integrate financial, production, supply and costumer order info
