True Down Time Cost Analysis - 2nd Edition eBook

ESBN: F36-047B-2151-10B2

 

Description:

True Downtime Costs Analysis focuses on costing methods and techniques that quantify activities that previously fell under the indirect cost definition, like the hidden cost of outsourcing, warranties, etc. This technique is necessary for bottleneck management in piece manufacturing and other industries.

 

Authors Don Fitchett and Mike Sondalini coauthor the extension of the original eBook "The True Cost of Manufacturing Downtime" (ISBN 1-933047-15-1). This second edition also includes an action plan to utilize existing shop floor data collection to monitor the many manufacturing processes and associated costs.

 

'True Downtime Cost Analysis (TDC)' is the final piece to the lean manufacturing puzzle and a great cost justification tool for maintenance managers and production managers, right up to general managers, to make changes in their operations that move their companies toward using better practices.

 

The OEE and TEEP chapter discusses this benchmarking process tool from a return on capital employed (ROCE) point of view. In line with this eBook's "True" perspective, the authors clarify the proper use of  OEE and TEEP. The action plan chapter ends with a detailed example plan followed by an additional example of implementing TDC in your facility to its fullest extent.

 

"The TDC method used reveals many cost-saving opportunities that would not be evident using standard time and material cost tracking methods that hide many costs under the indirect cost definition."

 

Extracts and summaries from this 102 page eBook have been published as industrial engineering articles in many engineering and management journals as well as industry websites worldwide.

Equipment Categories: Bottleneck-Factor excerpt:

 

A corrugator is an easily identifiable bottleneck because the entire facility is downstream. So companies will run it at top speed (not necessarily the most efficient speed), with a speed indicator in the production manager's office.

 

The material will flow through a single strapper or conveyor in many of those facilities. Still, these other bottlenecks do not get a tenth of the investment of resources that the corrugator does. In this example, the facility has become a push production process, with storage, scrap, multiple handling, labor, etc., being the buffer and causing profit loss.

 

With TDC, the question would no longer be, "How can we have record production rates off of the corrugator while reducing staff, quality, safety, and costs?" Instead, it becomes, "How can we draw through the maximum production from the plant with the highest quality, safety, and profits?"

 

Other bottleneck examples, like an air compressor, are only realized in the day-to-day management decisions once the unrecognized bottleneck shuts down the facility or a large portion of it.
