Using WinQSB with Operations Management by Reid and Sanders Chapter 1: Introduction to Operations Management No application Chapter 2: Operations Strategy and Competitiveness No application Chapter 3: Product Design and Process Selection No application Chapter 4: Supply chain Management No application Chapter 5: Total Quality Management No application. See chapter 6 for the use of WinQSB in quality management and control. Chapter 6: Statistical Quality Control WinQSB module Quality Control Charts can be used to produce the x-bar charts, R charts, P-charts, and c-charts from this chapter. This module can also be used to determine process capability. The module Acceptance Sampling Analysis can be used to construct the operating curves and average outgoing quality curves presented in this chapter. Chapter 7: Just-In-Time Systems No application Chapter 8: Forecasting WinQSB module Forecasting can be used to do all of the forecasting models presented in this chapter, although WinQSB uses the Holt-Winters algorithm for seasonal forecasting rather than the approach shown in the text. Chapter 9: Capacity Planning and Facility Location Decision trees for capacity planning (as well as other purposes) can be solved using the Decision Analysis module of WinQSB. The module Facility Location and Layout can be used to determine the location of a new facility by the loaddistance model. In addition to the rectilinear distance used in the text, WinQSB can also solve the problem using the Euclidean Distance or the Squared Euclidean distance. The transportation method for solving location problems is mentioned in this chapter although it is explained in more detail in Supplement C. WinQSB module Network Modeling can be used to solve transportation problems. Factor rating and the center of gravity method are not implemented in WinQSB. Chapter 10: Facility Layout A load distance model for facility layout can be solved using WinQSB module Facility Location and Layout. In addition to the rectilinear distance used in the text, WinQSB also can use Euclidean distance or squared Euclidean distance. The module uses 2-way and 3-way exchange heuristics to solve the layout problem. The same module can also be used to solve the line balancing problems presented in the text. Chapter 11: Work System Design No application Chapter 12: Independent Demand Inventory Management The WinQSB module Inventory Theory and Systems can be used to solve the EOQ, EOQ with quantity discount, EPQ, and the single period (newsperson) problems that are presented in this chapter. Chapter 13: Aggregate Planning Module Aggregate Planning of WinQSB can be used to solve aggregate planning problems using the various strategies presented in the text. It can also provide the optimal solution through a linear programming model. Chapter 14: Master Scheduling and Rough Cut Capacity Planning Not applicable. The Master Production Schedule (MPS) is needed for input in the Material Requirements module used in chapter 15. Chapter 15: Material Requirements Planning The WinQSB module Material Requirements Planning can be used to perform the explosion process in an MRP problem. Chapter 16: Scheduling The WinQSB module Job Scheduling has an option to use Johnson’s rule for scheduling as illustrated in this chapter. Chapter 17: Project Management The Project Scheduling: PERT-CPM module of WinQSB can be used to solve the PERT/CPM models in this chapter. It can also perform crashing analysis and probabilistic analysis of project completion times. The graphical representation used by the module is activity on node (AON). Supplement A: Waiting Line Models The WinQSB module Queuing Analysis can be used to solve the single server and multiple server models in the text. Both of models presented in the text are “simple M/M system” models. The instructor may illustrate other models with different service time distributions by using the “general queuing system” portion of this module. Supplement B: Linear Programming The WinQSB module Linear and Integer Programming can be used to solve and perform sensitivity analysis for all of the problems in this Supplement. WinQSB can also show the results of sensitivity analysis using the graphical method. For the instructor who teaches the Simplex Method, it is possible to have WinQSB step through each individual iteration. Supplement C: Solving Transportation Problems The Network module of WinQSB can be used to solve transportation problems. This module will allow one to choose the initial starting method. Supplement D: Simulation Analysis The Queuing System Simulation module could be used to illustrate a simulation of a more complex queuing system than the one presented in the text.
