Quantitative analysis of semiconductor supply chain contracts with order flexibility under demand uncertainty: A case study

The evidence base for the configuration of rolling horizon flexibility (RHF) contracts (a type of quantity flexibility contract) used in the semiconductor industry to coordinate production and demand remains meagre, more art than science. Informed by the characteristics of actual clauses and demand behaviors drawn from a company’s experience, a discrete-event simulation model is developed to represent the company’s supply chain. It comprises of three parties: a customer, a supplier (semiconductor manufacturer), and a capacity provider. Through analysis of customer forecasted demand the paper characterizes forecast demand as being under, over or unbiased. Models of these forecasted demands drives both long and short term planning. In long term planning, which is given twelve months before an order is delivered, capacity at the capacity provider is booked. Short term planning is also driven by this forecast which, within a binding period, is governed by an RHF contract. Results from the model report inventory levels, and delivery compliance, namely Delivery Performance (DP) and Delivery Reliability (DR), measures widely used in this sector. It is concluded from this work that on the balance of performance measures RHF contracts with asymmetrical flexibility bounds are substantially better than those with symmetrical boundaries, and that this conclusion is robust with regard to both over-planning and under-planning behaviors. This robustness is a critical attribute with respect to the endemic medium-term vacillation between both states experienced in practice in this sector.     

Lean production system design for fishing net manufacturing using lean principles and simulation optimization

Value stream mapping (VSM) is a useful tool for describing the manufacturing state, especially for distinguishing between those activities that add value and those that do not. It can help in eliminating non-value activities and reducing the work in process (WIP) and thereby increase the service level. This research follows the guidelines for designing future state VSM. These guidelines consist of five factors which can be changed simply, without any investment. These five factors are (1) production unit; (2) pacemaker process; (3) number of batches; (4) production sequence; and (5) supermarket size. The five factors are applied to a fishing net manufacturing system. Using experimental design and a simulation optimizing tool, the five factors are optimized. The results show that the future state maps can increase service level and reduce WIP by at least 29.41% and 33.92% respectively. For the present study, the lean principles are innovatively adopted in solving a fishing net manufacturing system which is not a well-addressed problem in literature. In light of the promising empirical results, the proposed methodologies are also readily applicable to similar industries.     

Virucidal effect of high power ultrasound combined with a chemical sanitizer containing peroxyacetic acid for water reconditioning in the fresh-cut industry

The use of chlorine-based sanitizers is widespread throughout the fresh produce industry in the process water to maintain microbial safety of produce, avoid cross-contamination and recycle water. In this study, alternative disinfection technologies were investigated due to the negative reports showing chlorine instability in the presence of organic matter and the undesirable by-product residues. Tsunami^® (15.2% peroxyacetic acid and 11.2% hydrogen peroxide) and high-power ultrasound (HPU, 0.56 kW/l, 20 kHz), alone or in combination, were evaluated in lettuce process water analyzing their ability to reduce MNV during either produce washing or water recycling. PAA concentrations of 6.4, 12.8 and 16 mg/l as well as HPU were insufficient for application in the produce washing tank where a rapid MNV inactivation is required. In contrast, a complete rapid inactivation of MNV (7.4 log TCID₅₀) was recorded when 80 mg/l of PAA was used. For recycled water reconditioning, HPU was applied and no virus reduction was observed. Two PAA concentrations (6.4 and 12.8 mg/l) that can be found in the recycled water were also tested. The MNV inactivation was faster at 12.8 mg/l than at 6.4 mg/l of PAA with 2.6 and 2 log reductions after 20 min contact. One additional log reduction was achieved 20 and 40 min later, respectively. MNV inactivation fitted the Bipashic model well. A contact time of 95 and 115 min would be required to obtain the complete elimination of MNV (4.4 log TCID₅₀) by 6.4 and 12.8 mg/l of PAA. PAA efficacy was not enhanced by the combination with HPU in contrast to the inactivation of pathogenic bacteria tested in other studies. This indicates that viruses are more resistant to this hurdle technology than pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella and other HPU conditions such as higher frequencies and combination of HPU with other physical treatments need to be explored.
