The key to effective SCM is meeting or exceeding customer need dates. It is important to achieve high order-fill rates either on a line item or order basis. Performing the order-fulfillment process effectively requires integration of the firm s manufacturing, distribution, and transportation plans. As...

Just what is a metric Simply stated, a metric is a number for measuring and reporting a key performance indicator of the business, the department, the workgroup, the product line, or the individual. For example, measuring and reporting EPS (earnings per share), employee turnover, percentage of units rejected by quality assurance, customer order fill-rates, and purchase orders processed per day would all qualify as metrics.

Availability - inventory availability Availability is one of the most important performances from the customer viewpoint. Inventory availability indicates the customer service level and is largely concerned with customer satisfaction. The two often-used measures are order fill rate (order availability) and stockout rate (stock imit availabiUty). The former is based on the percentage of demand order filled from stock in total. The latter refers to the rate of stockouts and the duration of stockouts.

It must be recognised that from the customer s perspective there are only two levels of service - either 100 per cent or 0 per cent. In other words either the customer gets exactly what they ordered at the time and place required or they don t. It must also be remembered that 100 per cent order fill rates are extremely difficult to achieve - the laws of probability see to that If there are ten items on a particular order and each item is carried in stock at the 95 per cent level of availability then the probability that the complete order can be filled is (0.95) °, which is 0.599. In other words, just over a 50/50 chance that we can satisfy the complete order. 

Order fill rate is the fraction of orders that are filled from available inventory. Order fill rate should also be measured over a specified number of orders rather than over time. In a multiproduct scenario, an order is filled from inventory only if all products in the order can be supplied from the available inventory. In the case of B M, a customer may order a phone along with a laptop. The order is filled from inventory only if both the phone and the laptop are available through the store. Order fill rates tend to be lower than product fill rates because all products must be in stock for an order to be filled. 

Describe different measures of product availability. The three basic measures of product availability are product fill rate, order fill rate, and cycle service level. Product fiU rate is the fraction of demand for a product that is filled from inventory. Order fill rate is the fraction of orders that are completely filled. Cycle service level is the fraction of replenishment cycles in which no stockouts occur. 

In order to judge performance capabilities that exist within the controlled variabilities, there must be a reference to measure performance against. As an example, the injection mold cavity pressure profile is a parameter that is easily influenced by variations in the materials. Related to this parameter are four groups of variables that when put together influences the profile (1) melt viscosity and fill rate, (2) boost time, (3) pack and hold pressures, and (4) recovery of plastica-tor. TTius material variations may be directly related to the cavity pressure variation. Details on EQUIPMENT/PROCESSING VARIABLE are in Chapter 8. 

In case of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, we have to consider that the first-order reaction rate constant is related to the concentration in the gas phase (e.g., ce2), and that the diffusive flux in the liquid-filled pores is related to the concentration in the liquid (ce21). Thus, instead of Equation 12.10, we have to use... 

Determine the fractional filling rate Qflu/Q that will fill an isothermal, constant-density, stirred tank reactor while simultaneously achieving the steady-state conversion corresponding to flow rate Q. Assume a second-order reaction with ai kt = 1 and t = 5 h at the intended steady state. 

Metadynamics is first used to reconstruct the free energy as a function of many simple coordinates at the same time. The filling rate w/tq and the Gaussian width Ss have to be chosen in order to provide the possibility to explore completely the free energy surface in the available computational time. This requirement, in high dimensionality, necessarily implies a large error, especially if the method is used in conjunction with Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics [49]. 

Here is the first order kinetic rate constant for the stable isotope exchange between fluid/and mineral 5, and Kq is the molar equilibrium constant defined previously (Eqns. 26 and 28). Hence, the rate of exchange is linearly dependant on the concentration difference between the actual isotope concentration in the rock at a given time and the concentration of the rock that would be in equilibrium with the fluid filling the pore space at this time. 

The above describes exactly how the so-called Q, R) model works, with R being the reorder point and Q the order size. One way to set these parameters is to let Q take the EOQ value and let R be determined by service requirements. For instance, set the value of R sufficiently large so as to ensure that the stockout probability (i.e., the probability that the on-hand inventory is zero upon a demand arrival) is limited to, say, no more thm 5%, or the fill rate (the proportion of demand that is filled from on-hand inventory) is at least 95%. (Note that in general the no-stockout probability is not equal to the fill rate.) It is also possible to set up a cost objective and then optimize it to derive the best Q and R values jointly. 

For ease of discussion, here we assume stationary demand and omit the time index t wherever possible. Suppose the service requirement is that the fraction of demand back ordered should be limited to 1 — fJ, where is the required fill rate. 

Customer service What is the probability that this relationship will substantially improve the customer service level as measured by the customer, for example, improved on-time delivery, better taking of movement, paperless order processing, accurate order deliveries, improved cycle times, improved fill rates, customer survey results, and process improvements ... 

Companies in today s marketplace face an ever increasing requirement to improve customer service level, usually measured as order or case fill rate, to reduce product Out-of-Stock (OOS) on the shelf, at the same time reduce supply chain costs, defined as the sum of manufacturing, transportation, inventory, and distribution costs, to remain competitive in the marketplace.
