Assignment title: Information
Needs an urgent help to write this coursework and have been very busy lately at work and I couldnt find time to do this and now am so pressed with time: Subject: Business– Operations Management Coursework: The coursework certainly has two parts,A & B which is based on this information: "You have been appointed as a production manager in a U.K. based company specialised in manufacture of piston for internal combustion engine made from Aluminium (Al) and Silicon (Si) alloys. The company has a production capacity of 400 pistons per day, in a complete process from casting to assembly and quality control. Four different types of pistons are produced two of which have been launched within past two years. The production process takes place in two separate areas of the factory. In one area, the Al and Si alloys are cast while the casings are machined and finished in another area. A total of 40 people are at work in this plant. The main raw materials, Al and Si alloys, are sourced directly from two different suppliers from within the U.K. located about 140 miles away. Other small parts required for the piston is sourced from a supplier from the US. Parts are held in a large central store, however, difficulty is often found in obtaining components in a specified time. The company very often faces part shortages at assembly which leads to high"Work In Progress" (WIP). The company is currently using the materials requirement planning (MRP) inventory management system. For the last couple of years the top management of the company has been considering to switch to just-in-time (JIT) inventory management system which is a complex decision, requiring careful examination of each system and its possible impact on a variety of factors." A part: Based on scenerio above undertake a comparative analysis ofthese two popular inventory management practices and provide a report indicating a number of benefits and critical elements to MRP implementation so that upper management can make a decision on whether or not to switch to JIT. Your report should include important factors such as: • Implementation stages and cost; • Quality; • Flexibility of the proposed system; • Limitations of the system. B Part: Despite the savings that can result by the implementation of JIT, the top management felt that a switch over from MRP to JIT inventory management was not so convincing. They think that JIT is more suitable to large manufacturing firms. However, the management still feel that continuation of MRP has not been able to bring a breakthrough in their production efficiency and they think that the bottleneck lies somewhere else. Keeping this in view, the management team once again has assigned you the task of finding the real bottleneck. As there is other manufacturing tools and practices available; suggest by giving reasons for your choice, what type of tool would be suitable in finding system constraints. Focus your assessment in the following aspects: • Benefits of the system; • Role of the suggested tool in achieving continuous improvement; • Limitations of the system. Guidelines and documents Provided: Please, I have the attached documentations that has to be used as a guideline by the writer among other resource he /she can find along with these materials, PLEASE kindly ensure that the writer get this and used them among other resources that he can get and kindly ensure a quality work is done on this, remembering that first impression last longer.

CW Study Materials - This is study materials (Evaluation of the application of JIT method in greek SMEs) - material to be reviewed and use along with the coursework 7. Havard APA style - A guide to the writing style - (All References should be correctly cited in Harvard format APA version 5 or 6. 5%) - this is important Also a guide to the writer for marking: (a) 45% (b) 40% Overall presentation 10% All References should be correctly cited in Harvard format APA version 5 or 6. 5% #### Please, kindly ensure the writer get all this material and used in the course of the course work among other resources and the referencing done exactly as required, it is very important that the writer is very well abreast of the Operational management and experienced in JIT and MRP system / production management tools. Looking forward to your quality of service and product (Expecting and excellent service / final product that meet specification), I hope you guy does not disappoint.
