Abstract

In this article we examine the soundness of receiving most vendor shipments just prior to the time of use and then immediately delivering them from the receiving area to the point of use by some small US manufacturing industry. This approach in theory would save handling cost, storage cost, and inventory holding cost, the real world offers numerous pitfalls, especially for smaller manufacturers and job shops.

Abstract

It is difficult for students to grasp essential concepts of materials management because there is a considerable amount of new terminology as well as the need to develop a “feel” for what appears to be a static, but in actuality, a very dynamic process. In an attempt to overcome the language barrier as well as help the student develop a “feel” for the process, an old case study from the 70s has been revised and updated it for today’s student.  The method of presentation has also been changed from an out-of class activity to an in-class group activity. Initial results, based on 3 classes of 35-40 students each, have been positive with absenteeism reduced from a historical average of 10-15% down to 2%.  Student attitude appears to be better and test results appear to be better although comparisons in this area are more difficult to measure. A copy of the game is provided and maybe be freely used in your classroom.   Any suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijere.v1i2.1485
