Murphy in Days

Look at what has been consumed daily for the last 30 days and calculate average.Should also look at forecast to determine any trends.The quality load factor is calculated by using the formula 1+ (returns + scrap)/ADD.The returned units from the customer plus the units scrapped at the supplyingoperation is divided by the ADD for the same time period. This is added to 1 andmultiplied times the ADD to adjust it upwards.

This is the Coefficient of Variation. It is the Standard Deviation divided by theaverage of a series of numbers. Here is is used a reference of the level of variationseen.

Demand Variation -Standard Deviation

Can be statistically calculated or estimated. If you have good use data, try to get 30days of consumption data and use Excel worksheet to analyze. If not, look for thehigh and low points in the demand and take 1/2 of the difference from the average.

Estimated variation seen in supplying operation. Used to estimate StandardDeviation.

Manufacturing Variation -Standard Deviation

Can be statistically calculated or estimated. If you have good use data, try to get 30days of production data and use Excel worksheet to analyze. If not, look for thehigh and low points in the difference between what was scheduled and what wasactually built. Take 1/2 of the difference or estimate the percentage missed by.

This is the difference between how the part is built and how it is used. Use thecycle stock worksheet to determine how much stock you need to have just to cover the lack of synchronization between operations.

Pick a fraction of a day or number of days of stock you want to keep a just safetystock. Pure gut feeling here.
