Case: Circuit Board Fabricators, Inc.

Case Circuit Board Fabricators, Inc. What type of exhibit flow structure is CBF using? The company is using a galvanic pile shop serve well flow structure. CBF, Inc. bases its board fabrication process on the average job size or on its typical prescribe. This agency that the company proceeds with the manufacturing process in plentyes so as to fulfil the specific requirements per order. The typical contract that the company currently gets is 60 boards per order. However, due(p) to persisting factory defects, they manufacture a total of 75 boards per batch in order to compensate for 20% of the boards that they typically reject during the process. draw the process in a manner similar to Exhibit 6. 7 We dont have this Exhibit in our Handouts Analyze the cognitive content of the process The capacity of the flow process is at an imbalance. There is a significant follow of manual labor in this flow process in which human error must be taken into consideration. It appears that som e(prenominal) of the stations may be run by an inefficient amount of operators. Lastly, with 6 employees on 6 machines for the final inspection, the end of the process should non take as long as it does.What is the impact of losses in the process in Inspection and Final Test? The impact of the losses in the system is quite extensive. It is stated that 15% of the board ar typically jilted during an early processing inspection along with an surplus 5% rejected during the final testing. This results in a production order increase of 25%. Ultimately, the first inspection should not be a bottleneck of this process and there should not be any rejected boards in the final inspection.
