Introduction/Product Introduction/Product ProliferationProliferation
Product ProliferationProduct Proliferation• Different requirements of different markets
• Expansion of the customer base
Multiple versions of the same product
Product variety is increasingProduct variety is increasing• HP workstations have 500,000 options (RAM cards, video cards,
graphic cards, monitors, disk drives, etc..)• GM cars have 20,000,000 versions (colour, interior combinations,
drive train configurations, and option choices)

IntroductionIntroductionRedesigning the process to improve logistic efficiency
DFM(Design for manufacture):DFM(Design for manufacture):
The designers’ consideration of the organization’s manufacturing capabilities and customer expectations when designing a product.
Concurrent Engineering:Concurrent Engineering: is the bringing together of engineering design and manufacturing personnel early in the design phase.
• DMF and concurrent engineering concepts emphasize the importance of considering more than functionality and performance of a product in its design stage.
Delayed product differentiationDelayed product differentiation is a key concept for gaining control of inventory and service in a global market

Introduction/Literature Introduction/Literature What is Delayed Product Differentiation?What is Delayed Product Differentiation?
• Delaying the differentiation point in which a product gains its specific identity
• Increase the flexibility to meet uncertain and changing demands
Related concepts with Delayed Product DifferentiationRelated concepts with Delayed Product Differentiation• design for localization: the strategy to meet the different
local requirements• design for customization: the strategy to meet the needs of
different market segments design for flexible manufacturer• part commonality• part modularity

ModelModelBuilt-to-OrderBuilt-to-Order
• Final products are built on demand
• Intermediate product is customized according to customer demand
Built-to-stockBuilt-to-stock• Finished products are
built to stock
• Immediate delivery of finished products are critical
Hau Lee 10
Built-to-OrderBuilt-to-OrderAssumptions and
notations:T=total production time
t=point of product differentiation
• intermediate inventory~periodic review order-up-to-S
• review period= 1 time unit
• customer orders~ i.i.d.
D(r) : demand in r time units
F(x/r)= Pr{D(r) <= x} • demands are never negative
• orders arrive at the beginning of each time unit
• customize the products in the intermediate inventory
• unmet orders are backlogged
• first-come, first-serveinventory position= inventory on hand+WIP- backlog W= waiting time in the generic prod. W <= tY = response time Y =T - t + W

Two service measures:Two service measures:
i)A target E(Y)
ii)A target reliability(probability)of response time being less than or equal to the target R
• S can be found from both of these service measures
• In the model the first one is used

Delayed Product Differentiation at the Disc-drive Delayed Product Differentiation at the Disc-drive manufacturingmanufacturing
• Long lead time
• in process inventory~shorten lead time
• two steps of manufacturing process: generic & customization
• first part is short, second part is long
• high levels in-process inventory is required for high reliability
• coupon boards insertion
• no significant value added~no increase in inventory cost

Another Built-to-order ApplicationAnother Built-to-order Application4 Steps of manufacturing:4 Steps of manufacturing:
1.fabrication of application-specific integrated circuits
2.building sheet metal,power supply, can and cable building
3.integration of base memory, floppy drive, hard drive and the opr.system
4.assembly of power cord, keyboard, mouse, monitor and documentationTo implement delayed product differentiation:To implement delayed product differentiation:
• standardization of base memory, floppy drive, hard drive and the operating system
• the point of differentiation is deferred from the end of the second stage to the end of the third stage
• the number of units held in inventory to support the same response time target decreases
Hau Lee 20
Model/Built-to-StockAssumptions & Notations:Assumptions & Notations:
T: total manufacturing timet: differentiation pointT-t: time units for customization• Finished goods inventory• Inventory and backorder costs are
identical for all end prod.i• Periodic review• Review period= 1 time unit• Demands are independent across time
units
• Demands for different end products are correlated
ik: covariance of demands for end product i and k in a time unit
i / i is constant for all i• Unmet demands are backordered
Hau Lee 21
Model/Built-to-Stock
Question:Question:• How to characterize the operational
performance such a system as a function of t, T, the requirement fill rate, and the demand distribution of the end products.
• Based on this function the costs and the benefits of the point of product differentiation t is investigated.
Hau Lee 22
Model/Built-to-StockTwo actions based on the inventory status of end product i:Two actions based on the inventory status of end product i:
Allocation decision for the items completed in generic production process
Decision for the amount of new items to begin production
Equal fractile allocation ruleEqual fractile allocation ruleAllocation of the each product i so that an equal fractile point or same service level is achieved by each of the end product i on an appropriately chosen demand distribution
Hau Lee 23
•Based on these two moments,firstly service level is determined,then the value of the Si is determined to satisfy the target service level.

Application/Built-to-StockDelayed Product Differentiation by DC localizationDelayed Product Differentiation by DC localization
• Printers manufactured in U.S. and distributed to DCs in Europe, U.S. and the Far East
• Localization
Packaging printer with the appropriate power supply module with the correct voltage and plugs and a manual with the appropriate language
• Long lead times for the non U.S. DC~ High levels of safety stock
• Inventory savings from the reduction of the safety stock• Savings from pipeline inventory• Unlocalized printer is less bulky and localization materials are not bundled• “Local content” and “local manufacturing” makes a company more marketableHowever: Need to develop a local supply base of localization materials Cultural and organizational barriers

Ki : safety stock factor
Demands for different country versions of the printer in Europe are independent

Hau Lee 29
Application/Built-to-Stock
To evaluate the effectiveness of commonality;
• Inventory savings for the parts• Material costs of parts• Investment cost for the reengineering
change• Inventory savings for finished goods should be assessed.

ConclusionConclusion
• Inventory and customer service are critical issues in the competitive market
• Design engineers should consider logistic issues besides the functionality, performance and manufacturability of a product
Hau Lee 31
Conclusion
• Product and process changes are powerful means to gain control of inventory and service in the competitive market
• Inventory models have a lot to offer
