1. I think the process flow strusture CBF uses is the Batch type as the volumes is less and as well as the design of the circuit board can vary easily. (i.e) many products. so it is necessary to use the batch type of flow. The other type of flows are the job shop (customizated product), Assembly line (more batches more products) and Continuous job (more batch and less product). the differences are listed can be infered from within the brackets. if it were to take the boards to 1000 / day, it must be assembly line or the continuous job process flow. as it will be cost effective and also standardized.
2. Capacity of the process is not balanced as we can see total losses of 25% in which 15% accounts for the defects noted in the begining and 5% at the end test. so it is imperative to change the machines which are present at the begining so that the losses can be eliminated. one reason we can find for the defects at the begining is that the machine works directly from the Engineering Drawing that has been loaded into the NC machine system.
3. Losses are quite high in the process and it affects the perfomrnance of the process. Already, the errors are at a whopping 25 % more than the usual. Impacts are always primarily monetary (i.e) cash, and the other impacts would be reputation of the company.
4. short term solutions can be increase the wastage to provide the customer the neceassary support, fix the machines for short term so that we can plan for buying the new one in the near future. run with the same process flow for a shorter time or try for a different process structure one by one to check which one works effectively and efficiently. Short term solutions are generally pertains to the time period within months of 3 or within a month of 30 days. more than the above mentioned time, would derogate the company’s reputation.
5. Long term recommendations are much different than the short term solutions. the problem can be sorted out by purchasing a new machine which has more specifications than the older one to get better results. Hire new and skilled employee so that the drawing is perfect and error free and not repetitive. mainly, increase the orders and quantities so that different process structures can be tried and changed according to the best suited one. All the long term solutions are costlier than the short term solutions, but it will be a useful solution in terms of reputation in the long term.
