Process Design for Riordan Manufacturing

This paper proposes a new design process for Riordan Manufacturing. This project
focuses on the key stages of the production of Riordan's electric fans. Riordan has the need to
minimize the waste generated by each business unit to reduce the production cost of the fan.
The factory in Hangzhou, China uses these pieces to create customized products. The company
focuses on the optimization strategy to improve the mutual recognition procedure based on
the volatility of the processes involved in the supply and demand. The local company must
provide the necessary supply of production-based engines. The assembly plant after receiving
the goods must be sent packing to proper treatment. Finally, the transport unit refers to the
distribution of electric fans. Riordan is concerned about the loss of their respective units.
Therefore, reduce the level of residues of each unit, could reduce the cost of producing each
unit. An initiative started using factory parts as Hangzhou additional products. However, the
factory has a concern about the periodic applications to provide its fans. Therefore, is difficult
to properly assess the requirements of these materials. Riordan focused on inventory
management of raw materials to achieve the final product. "Supply chain must be connected to
the identification of suitable materials for the production of electric motors, and sales forecasts
for future production," (Chase, 2006). This will increase the competitiveness of production
facilities and delivery schedule delays. Other options can increase the cost of inventory.
Important issues are the polymer plastics used in electric fans are full of supplies, low stocks of
plastic polymers capable of balancing the costs of reducing the financial burden of additional
hardware engines. Process Design for Riordan Manufacturing 3 Flow Chart for Process Design

success. "This process essentially involves the transformation of raw materials or the flow
of semi-finished products from suppliers and distribute to customers," (Chase et al.,
2006). In today's market, companies such as Riordan will be competitive and find new and
innovative ways to transform their supply chain and make it a competitive advantage or
strategy. A method that can be useful for Riordan is the use of outsourcing on a global scale.
Outsourcing can save a significant amount of potential money for Riordan. Outsourcing is a
great way to distribute work around the world that could benefit from regional markets, reduce
operating costs and more. Riordan should consider integrating the delivery process that helps
in this regard. This process of the supply chain will ensure that orders can be in a position to be
filled. However, it is essential to continuously monitor the inventory for quality issues.
Production Forecasts The Riordan production estimate is based that the supplier in China is
responsible for electric motors and plastic polymers, which are essential for electric fans. The
point of view of the demands of production is determined by the average sales over the past
three years. Moreover, production planning cost and delivery requirements are based on
annual production. The number of shares should be in accordance with the provision of
production. However, the amount of inventory has not precise measures and only 93% of
deliveries in a timely manner. Therefore, manufacturers must obtain Riordan's and substitute
courses to have enough stock so that production should not be postponed. Process Design for
Riordan Manufacturing 5 Requests for next year's production are calculated using the average

of the past three years. This plant is also involved in a customized version of electric fans for
each customer on a small scale. These products are delivered to customers in the United
States. Riordan should have more inventory is minimized by reducing the amount of polymer
plastic in the inventory as possible. In addition, Riordan has to improve the MRP system, so they
will be able to help in various stages of production. This helps ensure that resources are better,
which increases their efficiency, especially concerning to hours of production. An
implementation plan A project for the lean production can be implemented in various phases.
The first step is the design and definition of roles and responsibilities for project
implementation. After the draft implementation plan, the next step is to describe the methods
and tools. For the final step is to test the group project. The project needs to ensure that
resources and activities are consistent with the time to reach a minimum level of resources that
progress will be evaluated at regular intervals. These are the project team, including a
contribution to the management. These phases include the choice of methods, software tools
and applications of MRP. This includes the identification of bottlenecks in the process of the
forecast and production plan to meet the needs of customers. Ultimately, the costs improve
product quality and labeling of the defects, and the reduction of the bottlenecks. These
activities are carried out every 45 days but can be adjusted as needed. Process Design for

determine how process and production flows affect the economy of society. The company must
also include a process of manufacturing the product beginning in the real market at reasonable
prices, and making them available in sufficient quantities, reducing the waste and expecting any

changes that should be treated properly in time. Process Design for Riordan Manufacturing 7

Riordan Manufacturing ATTN: CEO Hangzhou, China, 01234 After thoughtful consideration and
extensive analysis, I send you this proposal for the implementation of the initiative. The
initiative will be based on the company's operations planning, the TQM and the design process.
As you may be aware of, there are already ways that our current business processes can be
controlled, this application uses the latest methodologies and best technologies to improve
quality. This will give Riordan with information on strategies and planning in connection with
the equipment necessary to meet the needs of our customers. This is the best alternative to the
practices of our current forecasts. You will see the main stages of implementation include the
identification of bottlenecks in our process of forecasting and the production plan to meet the
needs of our customers and better. The additional steps are focused on improving quality,
production and identification of bottlenecks to reduce cost. I am interested to know your
thoughts. Please feel free to contact me with any changes or suggestions (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
