INTRODUCTION
The Donner Company manufactures printed circuit boards for a variety of electronics manufacturers based on the specifications provided by them. It started operations in 1985, and is run by engineers who have substantial experience in the electronics industry. There are 750 printed circuit board manufacturers in the US market, classified as captive or contract manufacturers. The industry has shown phenomenal growth as electronics increasingly becomes a vital part of all aspects of life. The Donner Company is believed to be more adept than its competitors in creating prototypes of new designs and anticipating/resolving any problems that might be associated with these designs.
CASE FACTS
Manufacturing Process Flow
Donner produces solder mark over bare copper (SMOBC) boards. This process has three broad stages: 1. Preparation Stage Master artwork received from the customer

Figure 1: Manufacturing Process Flow The normal flow described above could be modified based on specific requirements of customers. Sometimes additional steps may also be involved. Special racks are used between process operations to hold up to 20 panels in order to reduce handling damage
Supervision Process
Supervision responsibilities are shared by three people: Diane Schnabs expediter
Group 07
Donner Company Bruce Altmeyer design engineer David Flaherty shop supervisor
Figure 2: Flow of Information The expediter: Keep track of orders in process. Investigated delays, fixed problems, kept customers informed. Took charge of rush orders. The design engineer: Inspect artwork, find design errors, and create processing strategy. The shop supervisor: In charge of manufacturing, supervised 22 production employees, worked with the blue-print.

Order Processing
Figure 3: Order Processing Flow Key steps involved: Estimating labor and material costs preparing a bid for the customer Orders less than 1000 boards 3 weeks, larger orders 5 weeks Material specification and factory order created Supervisor receives the blueprint (4 days after the bid is finalized) Scheduling decisions, labor estimates, made after material arrived Ticketing used to track orders as they moved through processing

PROBLEMS
AND
REASONS
Problem Statement - Difficulty in manufacturing two products with different production requirements in a single facility.
Product Related
Special boards require additional steps Company concentrating more on small order sizes and has a lower delivery time (3 weeks) vis--vis its competitor. Small order delivery cannot be delayed to prevent revenue target constraint
Customer Related
Normal work flows interrupted by several customer orders each Delays due to artwork modifications to be received from the 1 to 9 design changes a week One fourth of delays caused by
week; all having specific requirements customer these requests from the customers. Also involve rework in case they want to revert to original design

Production Related
Workflow interrupted 6 to 12 times per day 1. To secure more work from the upstream process 2. To seek advice on a problem (Should assistant manufacturing supervisors spend more than 10% of their time instructing and monitoring employees?) 3. Average delay in shipping completed orders is 5.2 days (As calculated further down in the report ) Daily at least 2 3 slow orders (non-rush orders) delayed and need to be expedited Around 3 rush orders a week Rework required in rush orders needing rework in one or two operations Estimated order completion time is a standard rate and not based on capacity utilization as of time order received No raw material storage maintained, and procurement initiated with purchasing agent only after order received. (Materials received same day or next day for rush orders. Otherwise it took several days) Most orders reached manufacturing only 4 days after the bid had been accepted Scheduling decision takes place only after raw materials arrive Prioritization of orders based on work in process at critical points and the manufacturing managers assessment of the sales possibilities of these orders being held up Production bottlenecks shifting based on processes utilized, order sizes and differences in designs for different client orders. No pattern available to forecast where the pile-up would take place

bottlenecks, which are occupied by the time the order, is expedited to that original process
Quality Related
Customer rejection rates up from 1% to 3% Returns due to a) Damaged or out of tolerance (10%) b) Process missed out (90%) Leading to reprocessing and reshipping costs Method improvements not implemented due to output pressure No overall coordination on increasing efficiency of process as a whole Quality inspection standards seem to be too stringent Quality checks being duplicated (both at beginning and end) as well as informal worker examination Pre-shipment rejection rate = 7% (1% total losses & 6% process missed) Shipments are 9 days late on average
Layout related
Production layout with a view to: 1. Minimized installation costs 2. Preserved equipment life 3. Isolated the diverse operating environments Production facilities have been designed primarily around process layout

Donner Company In addition electroplating has a very high capacity utilization of 82%. It can also be found that on an average 20 orders are being reworked/ month at an average order size of 360 boards. This totals to an average time spent in rework = 379 hrs. Also 660 hrs are spent in labor movement and 24 hrs is wasted in plating operation. An average of 139.2 hrs are lost when rush orders (3 per week) are loaded on to the process.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Change in job scheduling
At present all the panels that belong to an order are processed completely in a particular process before moving on to the next process. This results in WIP buildup at each stage causing spikes in the arrival pattern of job from the previous process. To smoothen this it is recommended that the panels that have been processed should move on to the next process without waiting for the entire order to be processed. The timing worked out for an order of size 100 shows that the existing method takes 20.87 hours for complete processing. When the panels are allowed to move to the next operation then the process time reduces to 11.32+3.2 = 14.52 hours. The time saved is 6.35 hours. In September on an average, there were 57 orders of size 100 and the total reduction in the processing time would have been 362 hours. That implies 25 more orders of size 100 could have been processed with the same capacity, an improvement of 58%. This figure of 58% has been calculated assuming that there is no interruption in the flow once an order is loaded for processing. A decrease in the throughput time from 20.87 hours to 14.52 hours would also reduce, on an average, the number of times a loaded job is 20

Donner Company removed to make way for the rush order, resulting in the loss of setup time.

Donner Company (September production figures) but this may require a huge capital expenditure. Alternatively, capacity of the manual drilling process can be increased by adding 4 machines. This would result in machining time reduction from 662 hours to 331 hours. The additional requirement of 4 units of labor can be met by re-allocation of underutilized manpower from other processes. Improving capacity of the drilling process would result in a reduction of the large average waiting time (~20 days) before the order is scheduled on the production line.
22
Donner Company average, there is an additional load of 20 orders of average size 360 per month.
