PART 2
SETTING PRODUCTION
Production amounts should always be 112% of Sales Forecast.
This allow some extra inventory to take advantage of competitors suffer from stock out. This often happens.
When we calculate production, we need to take in to account inventory from previous round.
We can use excel file to calculate PRODUCTION more conveniently
If we see that year we have Stock out, we can increase production more than 112% to 120% or even 125%. If we see some inventory, we can reduce for that segment back to 112%.
ADDING MORE CAPACITY
Our goal is to keep our plant production at 150% (full first shift and 50% second shift).
This allows more flexibility to deal with short term market changes.
Remember that added capacity isn't available until next round. So, if we add capacity in round 2, it will be available in round 3.
If we see any factory with more than 150% capacity, we can add more capacity to that, just simply multiple the excess over 150% with total capacity. For example, 180% of 2.000 factory, we will add 30% surplus = 30% x 2.000 = 600
NOTE:
We do not sell factories, even we are not using 100% at the current round.
We only reduce the segments we want to exit to 1. By doing so, we can still sell the rest of inventories in that segment at full price, not 50% price.
If we can not complete all suggestion, try to come as close as possible.
Try to use all the budget available in the first 3 rounds and more if possible
The KEY to win simulation is to control Automation as early as possible. The more automation is better.
PRODUCTION – Round by Round decisions Guides for 8 Rounds
Round 1 - Production
Upgrade original Low-End sensor from 5.0 to 6.7 automation
Upgrade original Traditional sensor from 4.0 to 5.0 automation
Create 500 capacity with automation 5.0 for the new Low-End sensor
Add extra capacity for original Low-End sensor
NOTE: check the bottom right corner to see if we use close to total available budget.
Round 2 - Production

Upgrade original Traditional sensor from 5.0 to 6.0 automation
Create 500 capacity with automation 5.0 for the new Traditional sensor

Add extra capacity for all needed sensors
Round 6 and 7 - Production
Add extra capacity for all needed sensors
Round 8 - Production

TIP 4. HUMAN RESOURCES DECISIONS
It is important to invest in HR because productivity is measured in the Balanced Score Card and also this investment will reduce labor costs.
Usually HR has a few options available are Recruiting Spending, Training Hours
Aim for the maximum of $5.000 recruitment spending and 80 hours training every round.
If you have limited funds, try $2.000 and 40 hours training.
If the Labor negotiations are available, we can use half way, win - win strategy, between demanded and current contract.
NOTE:
when input number here, double check to make sure correct numbers and avoid labor strikes.
We often use half way for negotiations, average of current contract and labor demands.
TIP 5. TQM
In TQM focus on setting $1.500 to $2.000 per round for each item, select the most useful initiatives first. Continue this for three round and then stop spending money into that initiatives, because it will no longer make any significant changes. We can see this from graphs at the end of screen.
NOTE
$5.000 is the maximum budget for each initiative for the whole game.
Optimal way to add money is $2.000 - $2.000 and $1.000 or $1.500 - $1.500 and $1.000 depends on maximum allowed for each round.
Priority order for TQM initiative benefits:
Reduce material costs
Reduce labor costs
Reduce R&D costs
Increase demands
Reduce SG&A expense
There are generally the best initiatives to put money in first:
CCE/6 Sigma Training
GEMI TQEM Sustainability
CPI Systems
Vendor /JIT
QIT
QFDE
We can apply try with different initiatives to see which one will bring more effects or most effective. Then in later rounds, we spend money in less effective initiatives when we have more extra money.
We can see the suggestions in the following tables.
TIP 6. FINANCE
Finance should always be the last decision we make after all the other section decisions have been made.
How we make decisions in Finance depends on How the game will be graded.
Most groups are graded on the Balanced Scorecard.
Some groups are graded on Profit or Stock Price.
FOR ALL GRADING METRICS.
We can keep at least $16.000 (000) cash for a round to avoid emergency loans.
We can keep more cash, it is always better than lack of cash.
We need to keep right amount of cash to get MAX Days of Working Capital (not too much, not too little).
When we have much Cash and Net Profit, we need to pay off dividends and retire stocks to increase Leverage and also get max points for Days of Working Capital.
