Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Industrial and Systems Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
This thesis aims to bridge the gap of designing cost effective and flexible vinyl windows Supply Chain. It is a case study- based on the problems observed during an internship by the thesis author. From the strategic and tactical levels of Supply Chain- manufacturing facility locations and suppliers have been selected based on budget restriction and annual equivalent worth analysis; number of manufacturing and assembly cells have been determined and their capacities are determined based on skilled workforce availability, production rate of Seru-assembly design, and work-hour availability. From operational level- required number of Seru cells have been determined and flexible line-Seru conversion has been performed. Performance of the conversion has been analyzed using Discrete Event Simulation and statistical analysis.
