0.1 Why drilling machine?
We have decided to produce this machine in the first place because it has a very big market in
Turkey. It is a drilling machine for furniture industry; which Turkey is very good at. There are
three major and numerous small furniture producers in Turkey and drilling machine is one of
their indispensible equipments. Drilling accurate holes in accurate angles in wood without
making defects around the hole is very important for furniture manufacturing. Making this
operation with small hand drills generally result with defects and inaccurate dimensions. So
there is high demand for this kind of drilling machine.
Moreover; this is just complicated enough for the limits of this project. Very complicated
machines would make this project impossible to finish at given deadlines. Also very simple
ones would not contribute to our learning in making a project.
0.3 Competitors
There are a lot of firms producing drilling machines locally and globally. There are
some major firms in Turkey which are Himsan, Turanlar Makine and Uysal Makine. Globally
China has the biggest producer in the world and we will examine 4 of them which are
specialized on drilling machinery production and the companies we will examine are Foshan
Shunde New Mas Wood Working Machinery & Equipment, Guandong Shunde Yujiang Wood
Working Equipment Factory and Nantong Guoquan Wood Working Machinery
Manufacturing Company and Renqiu Yongmao Wood Working Machinery Company.
0.3.1 Prices of the competitors:
All of the firms do not mention their prices on their internet sites but we sent an e-mail
to each of the foreign producers that we selected and called local producers to learn some
details about the machine like price. The price of the driller that Himsan produced is almost
$8000. Uysallar Makine is newly produced driller machine and they sell their product $17000.This machine has 3 heads. The price of the driller that Turanlar Makine produced is $6500. In
4
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
5/95
addition to these Foshan Shunde New Mas Wood Working Company sells the machine at
$6301 for each unit. Guandong Shunde Yujiang Wood Working Equipment Factory sells their
driller at $6500, Nantong Guoquan Wood Working Machinery Manufacturing Company sells
at $6300 and Renqiu Yongmao Wood Working Machinery Company sells at $7000.
0.3.2 Lead time of the competitors:
Of course the lead time of the product is much shorter if the producer is in Turkey than
outside of the country, however it takes relatively long time when we choose a producer from
China. Himsan is located in Ankara and has a retailer in Istanbul; hence it takes 1-2 days to
lead the given order if the machine exists in the inventory. If they has not the machine at theinventory, it takes 45 days to produce a new machine and the lead time will be 46-47 days.
Turanlar Makine has a factory in Ankara but it has an export center in Istanbul. For this
reason, they can lead the given order in 1-2 day if they have the machine. They can produce a
new one in 30 days. Uysal Makina is located in Ankara and also it takes 1-2 days to lead a
given order. They can produce a new machine in 60 days. Foshan Shunde New Mas Wood
Working Machinery & Equipment is located in Foshan city. Guandong Shunde Yujiang Wood
Working Equipment Factory is also located in Foshan. Nantong Guoquan Wood WorkingMachinery Manufacturing Company is located in Nantong city and Renqiu Yongmao Wood
Working Machinery Company is located in Renqiu city. All cities are in China leading times
changes according to the shipment way such as by an airplane or a ship. If you use airplanethe
order may lead in a week but for the industrial machines generally seas are used to transport
because of transportation costs and it takes 30-40 days to lead the order in Turkey. Generally
they have inventory on hand and a buyer do not wait for the production.
0.3.3 Reliability of the competitors:
Himsan is established in 1978 and the firm aims to provide best quality to the
consumers and they claim they are using high technology. The firm is still producing
pneumatic, hydraulic and special mechanic machines. The firm has 8 retailers in Turkey and
gives importance the reliability of its equipments. Himsan gives 1 year guarantee to its
products and provide service opportunity. Turanlar Makine is established in 1958 and the firmis one of the first firms in this sector. They have 80.000 square meter factory area that
5
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
6/95
includes 20.000 square meter closed area. Factory provides also service opportunity. They are
one of the leading Turkish firms in this industry and have market reliability. They provide 2
years product guarantee and they are capable to reach every point of Turkey in 1 day. They
also provides service opportunity to outside of the country. Uysallar Makina is established at
1981 and besides the market of Turkey; they also export their products to a lot of country.
They gives 1 year guarantee to their product and there is service opportunity. Foshan Shunde
New Mas Wood Working Machinery & Equipment claims that they used qualified and high
technological equipments. They have over 100.000 square meter factory area. They sell their
products in the intercontinental area and make above US$ 100 million trade. The company
has taken the ISO 9001 -2000 quality system certification and was awarded hi tech
enterprise. They say Sharp toolsmake good work and have different scientific tests on their
equipments. They gives 6 months guarantee and service opportunity. If the product is
defected, the buyer has a chance to change the product or defected part can be changed.
Guandong Shunde Yujiang Wood Working Equipment Factory is also has ISO 9001 -2000
quality certification and claims that they have after sale service system opportunity. They call
themselves king of drill and take trustworthiness as a basis. They gives 1 year guarantee to
their products. Nantong Guoquan Wood Working Machinery Manufacturing Company also
claims they have qualified materials and use high technology to develop its products. They
say they specialized in R&D. Also they have ISO 9001 -2000 quality certification and CE
certification. They give 1 year guarantee to their product. They have a huge network in world
wide. Renqiu Yongmao Wood Working Machinery Company also considers equipment
reliability and has own quality department. They have China quality center certification and
ISO 9001 quality system. They gives 6 months guarantee to its products.
0.3.4 Regular maintenance costs of the competitors:
Drilling machine has not very complex systems and has not very expensive
components. If the equipments are reliable, the maintenance cost will be lower. The most
important part of the machine is the engine and drillers. Himsan Makine suggests
maintenance in 4-5 years period besides monthly maintenance which is lubrication. The
former maintenance cost is almost $1000 and the latters cost is $30 in a year. Uysallar
Makina suggests only lubrication which causes $30 in a year. Similarly, Turanlar Makine
6
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
7/95
suggests only lubrication which causes $30 in a year. Other 3 Chinese firms have the same
idea with Turanlar and Uysallar Makine.
Another cost may be the electricity cost. All machines have a standard features which
are suitable to European standards. They use engines with the power 2.2 kW and this engine
spends almost 5 kW in a day. In a year the electricity cost reach to 6060 kW if the driller has
only one engine.
Workers salary may be another maintenance cost. This is almost $500 in Turkey but
with the insurance this cost increase almost $650 to a firm for a month and this makes $7800
in a year.
0.3.5. Irregular maintenance costs of the competitors:
Irregular maintenance cost exits if a breakdown occurs. The most usual breakdowns
are pneumatic and head breakdowns. Pneumatic breakdown costs $15 20. If the head
breakdown occurs, it causes almost $100 for a head which consists only 1 spindle but this cost
changes according to number of spindle the machine exists.
If a breakdown occurs, the service team of the firm may be called and this cause an
irregular cost to the firm. This cost changes according to the firm. Himsan Makine provides
this service almost $ 250, Uysallar Makine provides $150 and Turanlar Makine provides this
service almost $120.
Other irregular costs may be the raise of the cost of raw material, cost electricity, increase of
the legal salary amount.
0.3.6 Energy type used:
All of the products of the all firms need electrical energy.
0.3.7. Past References of the supplier:
Himsan Makine also has export channels besides local sellings. Gazi University and
7
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
8/95
Bilkent University uses the products of Himsan Makine. Uysallar Makine has references of
locally and globally. The most known local company is Istikbal Mobilya which uses the
products of Uysallar Makina. Moreover, Alfemo Mobilya, Kontur Limited, Beyza Mobilya
and some other local firm also uses this companys machines. Also, Eurl Polymeuble in
Algeria, Eser Company in Uzbekistan and some other countries. Turanlar Makine exports its
machines to 53 countries that include England, Mexico, Russia, Porto Rico, South Africa,
United States etc. In Turkey, there are lots of firms that use this companys machines such as
Vona Mobilya, Nur Ahap etc. Foshan Shunde New Mas Wood Working Machinery &
Equipment gives an example of famous Taiwan factory which imports machines before but
now they use Foshans machines. The companys name is Chensen Wooden Products
Company. Nantong Guoquan Wood Working Machinery Manufacturing Compans sells its
products highly to in the United States, Greece, Russia, Malaysia and to the most of places in
the world. Guandong Shunde Yujiang Wood Working Equipment Factory do not mention
about their exports or references. Renqiu Yongmao Wood Working Machinery Company sells
its products to United States, Ukraine, Romania, Madagascar and Tanzania.
0.3.8 Estimated life time of the supplier:
Himsan is 30 years old company in this industry and aims to be one of the leading
company in this area. They have many retailers and trying to spread their products in to the
industry. It seems that there will not be a big problem with the continuity of the factory at
least 5 years. Turanlar Makine is almost 50 years old and exports their machines over 50
countries and they are trying to enlarge their influence area. They give importance on research
and development and develops new machines according to new technology and consumer
needs. Also they aim to be the one of the biggest in this area. Hence we estimate that the
companys life will not be less than 10 years and we believe that Turanlar Makina will live
another 50 years. Similarly, Uysal Makina is trying to be a global member of this industry and
has exports to many countries. We estimate that this company also has a life more than 10
years. Foshan Shunde New Mas Wood Working Machinery & Equipment has a huge revenue
and may be the most global firm in this industry. They aim to increase their market share and
we believe that their life will not be less than 15 years. Nantong Guoquan, Guandong Shunde
Yujiang and Renqiu Yongmao also has similar aims to Foshan Shunde and has similar markets
8
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
9/95
in the world. We believe that there will be big competition between these firms and the
lifetime of these firms will not be less than 10 years.
0.2 - 4 How and where is the machine used?
This machine is used in furniture manufacturing industry. It is used for drilling holes
accurately without making defects on the material in different angles and sizes.
Drilling is one of the most basic and frequently used operations in the furniture manufacturing
industry. Also, it is critical to perform this operation exactly without defects. First reason is
the proper use of the furniture. If the holes are not exact, it will twitch or break easy. The
second reason is appearance of the product. It is the one of the most important motivators for
the consumers to buy furniture. Defects will make a bad appearance. So furniture producers
need machines that can perform this operation exactly. Small hand drillers will not be enough
for that. So, our machine will handle their needs.
Moreover, this machine can be used for drilling purposes in similar materials like cork bone
hard rubber and hard plastic. These materials have similar toughness and hardness
characteristics with wood. Thus, our machine will be in the purchasing portfolio of theseindustries too.
How does the machine actually work?
It basically works by the swing of spindle at generally 1500-2000revolutions/minute. This is
the proper spindle speed for woodwork. Both lower and higher speeds will be inefficient by
increasing electric consumption. Also too high speeds will cause defects on material.
This machine has 5 main components: a work piece support (displayed as number 3 on figurebelow), motor (5), a guide column (2), a gear block (4), and a frame (1).
The gear block (4) and the motor (5) can move on the guiding column (2). This makes the
movement of spindle. Also it makes possible to work on different size of materials. This
movement is made by a lever (6).
The height of the guiding column will be 70cm. so it will be possible to work on materials
40cm high at most. The remaining 30cm is for motor, gear block and spindle.
9
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
10/95
There also is spindle carrier (8). Different sizes of spindles can be attached to it, so it makes
possible to drill holes in different size and length. Three standart spindles will be supplied to
customers. They are:
Length(cm) Diameter(cm)
1 8 0.52 12 13 16 1.5
We will manufacture 9 more types of spindles however the customers will have to pay for
them if they want to purchase them. Here are their length and diameters:
Length(cm) Diameter(cm)
4 8 15 8 1.56 8 27 12 1.58 12 29 12 2.510 16 1
11 16 212 16 313 16 4
Some customers can need special purpose spindles. This will be an option too. We will
manufacture them after making a cost analysis for the demands of customers.
Apart form these, the work piece support is rotatible. So this makes possible to drill hole on a
material in different angles (3). Also, the workpiece support will have attachment tools on the
sides so that material can be held stable when working in different angles.

11
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
12/95
- Products: Many
- Volume: Low
- Capital investment: low
- Variable cost: High
- Labor need and skill: High
In a job shop activity we can do several jobs at the same time and all processes do not
need to do to all equipments. Moreover, job shop process allows us to sell our capability and
provide us to compete with other producers in the market.
1.2.
We need to use some significant industrial equipment to produce drilling machine
because each important part of the machine we will produce, we need another equipments
(machines). Basic components of our machines are driller, legs, engine, cylinders, adjustable
platform and cover.
1.2.1
Casting machine:
Casting is a manufacturing process that based on the solidification of molten model in
a given mold to get a needed shape of materials. For the drilling machine, suitable driller must
be used for each operation according to the depth or width of the hole. For this reason, we
need a head to hold each driller.

Strojaren Piesoks price is $3200 and Haseller wants $3600.
1.3.5.6
Metal Sheet Cutting Machine
The most expensive and usual breakdown of the laser machine is laser system
breakdown C-T changes the laser system $44000 and Mazaks price is $58000. If serviceneeded without changing any part C T wants $300 and Mazaks price is $550 except from
travel costs for the Europe. For the hydraulic machine of the Birliksan, the common
breakdown is the wear of the blades and the changing cost is $900. The repair of this part is
$200 but the lifetime will not be longer as the new one.

be preferred because of their quality and reliability. So they are a strong firm and there is no
concern about any future collapse if a purchasing agreement is made with them.
They produce nearly 20 motors which are suitable for our project. Here are some of them.
These are the ones with 960rpm (revolution per minute) speed and 3kW power.
And these are the ones with 1440rpm speed and 3kW power.
There are 750rpm and 3000rpm models but 750 are too slow. Also 3000 is unnecessary for
our project so we wont prefer it because of the extra cost.

This is a Chinese firm. They are in the field for more than 20 years and they are one of biggest
Chinese producers currently. It has more than 500 staff. So it is a big firm which can be
trusted about its future. However there are concerns about quality of its products. We could
not get any information about their past references.
Their biggest advantage is their prices. They supply 3kW motors with more 2500rpm speed at
the price of 1500rpm motors of other firms. So, if we purchase their product, we will increase
our machines quality without changing the price. Furthermore, they are very flexible about
producing motors for special needs. So this will be an advantage for us if we make
innovations and try to change our products design in the future.
However, reliability and quality is still an issue. We look forward to get more information
about their products in coming weeks.
Here are the price and delivery times for order amounts of 10 25 and 100 for 3kW and
2500rpm model.

3 - Elsan:
Elsan is the biggest Turkish producer in the field. They are a producer since 1964. They have
a variety of products. They have a very good service system. This is their biggest advantage.
Also delivery time of their products takes less time than foreign producers. So if we choose
them, we will need less storage area in our factory; because we will be able to purchase
motors from them quickly in any amount we want. This is a very big advantage.
Here are the price and delivery times for order amounts of 10 25 and 100 for 3kW and

4 - LeroySomer:
LeroySomer is one of world leading companies at electrical motor production. Most
significant characteristic of LeroySomer is their quality. Their product is significantly
qualified from Chinese producers which supply cheap product. Also LeroySomer is one of themost reliable companies in the field. There are nearly no concerns about their future and
product quality. Also they have the widest product variety.
So if we cannot be sure about qualifications of cheaper products, we will purchase form
LeroySomer without any doubt.

To sum up;
There are similar producers in the field. They can be grouped into four. First group is Turkish
firms which have foreign partners. They use the quality of their partners and supply that with
domestic service and interaction. Tesla Motor is an example to these companies. Second
group is Chinese producers. Their products are cheaper than others. However there are
concerns about quality. Third group is domestic producers. They are generally produce higher
34
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
35/95
quality products than Chinese firms but they are more expensive. Elsan is the biggest of these
firms. The final group is world leader companies. They have the highest quality products but
they are expensive.
When comparing these firms, we decided to eliminate Tesla first. They had a Chinese partner.
However that Chinese firm was the fifth biggest producer in china. Instead of buying from
them, we could buy from bigger Chinese firms which will probably be more reliable and
qualified. We will probably get less service than Tesla but the product will be more reliable
and qualified.
Than we passed comparing Chinese firms with Turkish ones. Chinese product was cheaper.
However domestic ones (especially Elsan) had very good service. Also Chinese firms were
new on the market and finding past references about them was hard. So we could not trust
Chinese producers. Also there was good reference about Elsan. So we eliminated Chinese
firms too.
LeroySomer was always a good option but we had concerns about the prices. We were sure
that using their product will increase our products quality. However price was important for
us. We started this project in the goal of producing cheap domestic drilling machines with
good service. So we investigated more about Elsan and its products quality. Our searchresulted in more trust in Elsan.
So we finally concluded to purchase electrical motors from Elsan.
Sheet and slab metal:
Erdemir is the only company for sheet and slab metal purchase in Turkey. So we will either
buy metal from Erdemir or foreign suppliers.
There are nearly 30 companies like Erdemir around world especially in India and China. We
learned that transportation costs are an important part of metal industry, because metals are so
heavy. So, buying slab or sheet metal from very distant foreign countries nearly doubles the
costs. After that, we started searching about neighbor countries. However, we could not find
any firm like Erdemir at neighbors.
35
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
36/95
So, we concluded that Erdemir is our only option to buy sheet and slab metal.
Here are the price and delivery options of Erdemir.
Delivery time: 5-7 days (Delivery time is standard at Erdemir. It does not change with the
amount we want to buy. Because they are a huge firm and they have inventories to handle 10
firms like us any time.)
Price: We selected the 6837 model. Because it is easy to deform and hard enough for our
purposes. The price per ton is $765 for this product.
3. Manufacturing facility and process
3.1 How does the production take place?
Manufacturing facility is composed of five job shops: casting, rolling, forging, bending,
machining. Every part of the product is manufactured by different activities in different job
shops. Besides, machining is a common process for all parts.
Manufacturing of five basic and significant parts are explained below. (Small parts like
screws are purchased from suppliers.)
3.1.1 Spindle:
Spindles in different size and length will be produced in our facility. Raw material for it is
slab metal. However, spindle is the key part of our product. Because it is the most vulnerable
part for wear and break downs. So spindle must be very strong and hard.
Spindle can directly be produced by machining, but it will be very costly. So, applying
machining after certain operations will be more cost effective. These operations can be either
casting or forging. A final machining process will be needed for both activities. Comparing
them, we know that parts which are produced by forging are stronger and harder than parts
produced by casting. It is because of the fact that there is strain hardening in forging and also
36
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
37/95
it forms continuous grain flow lines. (Kalpakjian &Schmid, 2008) also, forging is more costly
than casting. However, we need spindles hard and strong. Because of that, we chose forging
operation for spindle production.
After forging, final machining operations will be made.
3.1.2 Work piece support:
Work piece support is a wide and bended on the edges part to carry the work piece. It must be
strong enough to carry weights of 200kgs. So we will need a metal part of thickness 3mms.
In this process; we will use sheet metal. Sheet metal will first go to a rolling operation. This
operation is for getting rid of residual stresses in the material which can be a cause of further
defects. Than it will go to bending machines and its edges will be bend. Finally there will be
maching for final holes and cuts.
3.1.3 Guide column manufacturing:
Guide column is also a key part. It will carry the weight of the electrical motor. So we will
manufacture it by forging. Slab metal will first be forged. Then it will be machined.
3.1.4 Gears block manufacturing:
Gear block has a complex shape. The most suitable process for manufacturing complex
shapes is casting. (Kalpakjian &Schmid, 2008) it is very hard to produce it with other
processes. So we will use casting for this process.then we will bend its edges. We would not
need this operation, namely we would do everything at casting; but it reduces cost to make
bending. A final machining will be needed like all other processes.
3.1.5 Motor covering plates manufacturing:
These plates are for only covering parts. So we do not need them strong or hard. So we will
use sheet metal as raw material and make it thinner with rolling. Then we will bend it for
appropriate purposes. And then a final machining will be made.
3.1.6 ASSEMBLIES:
After manufacturing of these parts, they are assembles together with other parts purchased
from suppliers.
37

An activity chart of manufacturing process and facility is given below:
Figure 3.1 Activity Chart
38
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
39/95
3.2 Facility Layout type:
Our facility will have a process based layout.
Here is a comparison of product based and process based layouts and wyh we have chosen
process based:
3.2.1 Process based layout:
Process layouts are found primarily in job shops, or firms that produce customized, low-
volume products that may require different processing requirements and sequences of
operations. Process layouts are facility configurations in which operations of a similar nature
or function are grouped together.(http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-
Loc/Layout.html) So it is a job shop. This layout is suitable for firms that have lots of
different kind of operations. All operations need various kinds of processes. So establishing an
assembly line will be very costly for these firms; because they have to buy from same
machine for every part they need. Instead of that, they buy an appropriate number of machines
and group them into ones with similar functions. So, this layout gives firms the flexibility to
handle big number of different processes and activities. This is called process based layout.
General advantages of process based layout are listed below:
1. Flexibility: firms can handle a big number of different kinds of processes.
(http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.html)
2. Motivation: workers will so different processes and activities. So they will not be
bored of doing the same things. Also they will have to reflect their personal abilities to
the job instead of standard things, so they will be motivated of their product.
(http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.html)

40/95
3. Less system failure cost: there will be similar machines, so when a machine is broken,
other machines will be able to cover for it. So facility will not stop working bcause of
break downs. This means lower failure costs.
And general disadvantages are listed below:
1. Utilization: machines will be less utilized. Their utilization rates will depend on output
requirements.
2. Cost: per unit costs will be higher than product based layouts.
3. Confusion: system will be less automated. So there will be confusion. Organization is
important. (http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.html)
3.2.2 Product based layout:
Product layouts are found in flow shops (repetitive assembly and process or continuous flow
industries). Flow shops produce high-volume, highly standardized products that require
highly standardized, repetitive processes.
(http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.html) it this layout,
machines are sequenced one after other. So a material enters beginning of a line and exits line
after sequenced operations. Workers do same repetitive jobs. Machines are highly utilized.
There is two types of this layout which are paced and unpaced. Paced lines have standard
speeds which are arranged by automatic lines.
General advantages of process based layout are listed below:
1. Output: large volume f output is produced continuously.
2. Cost: unit costs are law. Also, workers are trained less because of the repetitive tasks.
Also, everything is organized, so it requires less organization attention. All of these
40
http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.htmlhttp://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.htmlhttp://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.htmlhttp://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.html8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
41/95
reduce costs. (http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-
Loc/Layout.html)
3. Utilization: machines and workers are highly utilized because of standardization.
And general disadvantages are listed below:
1. Motivation: workers will do same repetitive tasks. No ability incentive.
2. Flexibility: firms will not have much flexibility.
3. Failure costs: when a machine fails, all line will stop working. So it will be costly.(
http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.html)
Our facility will have a process based layout.
The reason is we do have a big number of varieties of tasks. Handling these tasks on a
product based layout will be nearly impossible. We will need too many machines, so facility
setup cost will be very high. For example, every part of our product requires a machining
process for cutting excessive parts or drilling screw holes etc. So if we arrange processes on
assembly lines, we will have to buy nearly 10 machining machines. This will sky up the costs.
Instead of that we will use process based layout and buy one or two machines. Also, this
layout will give us flexibility of making changes in our product. Also process based layout is
appropriate for standard products which are produced in high volumes; however our product
will not be produced in high volumes.
3.3 Other products that can be produced in our facility:
Most similar products to furniture drilling machine are plastic drilling machines and metal
drilling and milling machines. These products can be produced with smaller changes in the
product design.
41
http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.htmlhttp://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.htmlhttp://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.htmlhttp://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.htmlhttp://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.htmlhttp://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Int-Loc/Layout.html8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
42/95
To produce plastic drilling machine, we will use less costly material. Because this operation
will need less force and hardness than woodworking. So spindles will be less costly. Also
other parts will be thinner.
To produce metal drilling machines will be harder and high costly. Because we will need more
powerful electrical motors. Also probably we will need to buy spindles from suppliers,
because they must be too hard and strong. We will use more forging operations to make parts
more powerful.
3.4 Fixed cost of establishing the facility:
Die Casting machine: $90000
Forging machine: 185000
Milling Machine: $18000
Extrusion Machine: $80600
Bending Machine: $10300
Metal Sheet Cutting Machine: $85000
Power Generator: $980
Land and building cost: $300000
Total: $769000
3.5 Typical unit production cost:
Regular maintenance cost of the machines:
42
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
43/95
Die Casting machine: $840
Forging machine: 46
Milling Machine: $300
Extrusion Machine: $100
Bending Machine: $75
Metal Sheet Cutting Machine: $50
Power Generator: $10
TOTAL: $1460
Total electricity consumption per year: $60000
Total worker cost: 20 * 12 * 650 = $156000
General total: 156000 + 60000 + 1460 = 217460
Expected production per year: 800 machines
Cost per unit: 217460 /800 = $271
Raw material and purchased materials like electrical motors must be added to this cost. Also
there may be overhead costs that are missed from eye:
So cost per unit: 271 + 200(electrical motor) + 50(raw material) + 50(overhead costs) = $571
3.6 Typical fixed cost for an order:
Costs above were computed for the full time production of the facility. Yearly 800 machines is
a rationally small number for demand. So we expect that every machine produced will be
43
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
44/95
sold. So the facility will work full time and there will not be any additional fixed cost for any
order.
3.7 Break- even point:
We plan to sell a machine on the average of $1000. $1000 is a generally plausible price for
this market. This price choice is good enough for our sales purposes. Complete analysis of
this choice is included in section 5 of this report.
Typical unit cost was computed as $571 in above section. So:
Net Revenue per unit: 1000 571 = $429
We expect to sell 800 machines per year on the average.
Net Yearly revenue: 429 * 800 = $343200
Facility set-up cost: $769000
Breakeven point: 769000 / 343200 = 2.24 years
So we will amortize our investment after 2.24 years. 2.24 years is the breakeven point.

A1-B1
The most important factors to determine the optimal process are variety and volume. If
we want to produce many products in low volume, the suitable type of production is job
flow. If we will be produce a unique machine, and if the quantity is one this time the suitable
type of production is project. If we want to produce several products and moderate volume,
batch process type is suitable and if we want to produce a low variety of products in large
volumes, the most suitable production type is assembly line process. Continuous flow
process has similar characteristics to assembly line process about these issues.
A2-B1
If the demand is one at each time not flexible- and unique project process is
suitable. If the demand variance is high job flow process is ok. If the demand variability is
moderate batch flow is suitable type. If the demand variability is low and quantity is high
assembly line or continuous flow according to type of the material produced.
A3-B1
If the demand variability in the market is high job shop is the most suitable. If it is
moderate batch process and if it is low assembly line process is suitable. If the demand
variability is very high then the project process is suitable.
A4-B1
If the products size is high, the bigger area and volume will be needed for the factory.
In addition, if high capital investment is needed, assembly line may be suitable. If capital
investment is low but labor skill is needed highly, then project process is more suitable and a
bigger place in m2 and m3 may be needed. If capital investment is low and labor skill and
number is highly needed, job flow a moderate place may be needed in terms of m2 and m3 .
We can say that if we need a big plant to make production, a place in an industrial area
become more suitable than a place which is within the city.
A5-B1
45
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
46/95
If the product has various characteristics a project process may be suitable to achieve
all of the parts of the product successfully. However, if the volume of the product have to be
more than one, than job flow or batch flow process types can be suitable.
A6-B1
Because of the geographical reasons like closure of the raw material, the factory may
be planted near to raw material. If there is a high raw material need, assembly line and
continuous flow may be suitable. If the climatic condition causes lack of transportation of the
product, than project process or job shop may be suitable because there is one unit or a
few unit of products that makes easier to transportation.
A7-B1
If the labor content and skill is high, than project and job flow necessities can be
satisfied. If labor content and skill is low batch process and assembly line necessities can
be satisfied. If the labor content is very low with skilled overseers, continuous flow
requirements can be required.
A8-B1
If capital investment is very low, project process is suitable. If capital investment is
low, Job shop process is suitable. If it is moderate, batch flow is suitable. For the assembly
line capital investment high and for the continuous flow process capital investment is very
high.
A9-B1
There is no direct effect of global warming on the type of the process. However, if
there will be restrictions on production volume because of emission and current type is
assembly line process, than job flow or batch flow can be suitable types.
A10-B1
If there is an economic crisis occurs due to earthquake, the limitation of the
production may become reasonable. Just in time or other order based systems can be used and
project process and
job flow process are feasible production systems. Also, replant of the plant to a safe placemay become an possible solution to keep the production system.
46
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
47/95
A11-B1
If an economic crisis occurs due to possible regional wars that our country may be
involved, the separation of the production in different countries becomes a feasible idea. If the
separation occurs and because of the economic crises, the demand may dramatically fall.
There will be a drop in the volume of production and job flow and project processes
became applicable.
A12-B1
An economic crisis may occur because of geographical disasters, sudden corruption of
the government or worldwide crises such as mortgage. Each of them possibly causes
reduction in the production volume and may result with the same situation that we
investigated at A10. However, if there is a worldwide crisis, replenishment do not work but
reduction in production volume is still applicable by the job flow or project processes.
A13-B1
A significant change in Dollar and Euro, changes the cost of the production. If the
production cost decreases, the price of the product will decrease and according to demand
batch flow and assembly line processes are applicable to increase production volume.
However, if the prices increase, then there will be a reduction in the demand and the volume
of the production may be decrease. Hence, job flow process system can be applicable.
A14-B1
Strike because of displeasure of workers:
If such a situation occurs and a usual thing in the country, the logical way of doing
production in a way that not highly depend on workers such as assembly line or continues
flow.
47
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
48/95
B2
Raw materials and/or subcomponents used in manufacturing the product
A1-B2
If there is an increase in the production volume, the need for raw materials or
subcomponents will be increased too because they are directly correlated. Also, if the variety
of the products will be increased, again there will be increase in the necessity of raw materials
and/or subcomponents and maybe new raw materials and/or subcomponents will be needed.
A2-B2
If the demand increase, the need for raw materials or subcomponents will be increased
to raise the production volume because they are directly correlated. Similarly, if demand
variance is high, some forecasting techniques should be used such as Winters forecasting
method. If a satisfactory condition occupied, the usage of raw materials and/or
subcomponents will keep at a regular level.
A3-B2
If the demand of the product increases for all the players of the market, demand of raw
materials and/or subcomponents increases because each player may increase its demand on
raw materials and/or subcomponents. If the demand variance of product increases, demand
variance of raw materials and/or subcomponents will also increase.
A4-B2
If the number of players increases in the market, probably the demand for raw
materials and/or subcomponents will be increase. Hence, the price of raw materials and/or
subcomponents may raise.
A5-B2
If the manufacturing capacity of the plant is high and if it uses this capacity, there will
be high demand for raw materials and/or subcomponents and probably will need a big areaand space. Moreover, if the factory is close to a big city, it will try to get raw materials and/or
48
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
49/95
subcomponents from close places to this city but if the transportation cost of raw mateiral is
higher than the transportation of the product, probably the factory will be established close to
raw materials and/or subcomponents source.
A6-B2
If the product has various characteristics, there will be a demand for various
subcomponents or raw materials to satisfy the each character of the product.
A7-B2
Geographical conditions may affect the usage of raw materials. If it is very hard to
reach the raw material, the firm will probably save some on the inventory. Similarly, if
climatic condition make hard to transport the raw materials and/or subcomponents, raw
materials and/or subcomponents can be hold in inventory.
A8-B2
If the number of workers is high, than the amount of mining of the raw material
probably be high.
A9-B2
If the capital availability is high, raw materials and/or subcomponents can be bought in
higher amounts and higher quality.
A10-B2
Some materials may be diminishing because of global warming and the reasons of
global warming like O3.
A11-B2
An economic crisis due to earthquake may cause the reduction in the production and
this situation cause a reduction in the demand for raw materials and/or subcomponents.
Conversely, if the economic situation of the country is wealthy, an earthquake may increase
the demand for some raw materials and/or subcomponents to reestablish the lost
establishment. If a company gets the raw materials from different countries, a regional war
may not stop the functioning of the factory.
49
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
50/95
A12-B2
Similar to economic crisis due to earthquake, a regional war may cause the reduction
in the production and this situation cause a reduction in the demand for raw materials and/or
subcomponents. However, if a company gets the raw materials from different countries, a
regional war may not stop the functioning of the factory.
A13-B2
An economic crisis probably decrease production and this cause to a reduction in the
demand for raw materials and/or subcomponents.
A14-B2
Strike because of displeasure of workers:
If a strike occurs, the mining of the raw materials may stop and the transportation of
these materials to the factories may stop.
B3
Selected layout for the manufacturing facility
If the production volume is high and a serial production system is used, product based
layout is logical. However, if a machine is produced like drilling machine, process based
layout is applicable as mentioned in the previous part.
A1-B3
If production volume is very high, the product layout system may become suitable but
if it has big variability then the product layout system is more applicable.
A2-B3
If the demand characteristic for the companys product increases, there will be an
increase in the different kind of operations for each machine. Hence, process based layout
system will be needed. If these characteristics have a big variability, again process based
system is more applicable.
50
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
51/95
A3-B3
If the demand characteristics in the market increase by all players, there will be a need
for the usage of different production systems and this cause to apply process based layout
system. Increasing variability reflects similar properties.
A4-B3
A very big location both in area and volume may be a necessity for product based
system and for a machine like drilling, this is not reasonable. Process layout system is
applicable even the factory has big physical capacity and does not depend on the location of
the factory.
A5-B3
The various product characteristic need various applications such as milling, forging
etc. and process layout system is reasonable to apply all different applications for the each
characters need.
A6-B3
Although geographical and climatic conditions do not an important effect on the
production system layout, the lack of transportation may push the layout system into process
based system because there is not a serial manufacturing if we compare to product based
system.
A7-B3
The workers and their skills are more important for process based system. If there is
lack of workers availability product based system is more appropriate.
A8-B3
The product based system needs high capital investment. In contrast to product based
system, process layout system is more appropriate if the capital availability problem.
A9-B3
Product based system cause more emissions and if there are law that restricts
emissions, process based system will be more applicable.
51
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
52/95
A10-B3
If there is an economic crisis due to an earthquake, the demand will probably fall the
products and process based system become more applicable.
A11-B3
If an economic crisis due to regional war occurs, the demand will probably fall the
products and process based system become more applicable and selling product into different
regions is a reasonable idea.
A12-B3
If an economic crisis occurs, the demand will probably fall the products and process
based system become more applicable and selling product into different regions is a
reasonable idea.
A13-B3
If dollar and Euro increases and import is needed to be supplied, profit margin will
decrease and process based system is more applicable. If dollar and Euro decreases and
import is needed for the production, profit margin will increase and production capacity may
tend to be increased. The reasons for that is the value rate of YTL against Dollar and Euro.
A14-B3
If a strike occurs, process based system has not a big chance to be continue but by the
product based system the production may continue.
B4
Supplier selection for equipment
A1-B4
If the production volume increases and if we do not have a machine which is notcapable to adjustable to produce in large quantities, a new machine may be needed. For this
52
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
53/95
reason, the supplier should be selected according to possible production volumes. Also, if
there is a high production variability, the machine may not be suitable and some parts of it
may breakdown and there will be a need for new equipment to change the defected parts. For
this reason, a supplier which has capable machine and provide support should be selected.
A2-B4
If demand increases, there may be a need for new machines or/and additional units
which has to be bought from a machine supplier. If the demand variety increases, the supplier
may hold inventory for the machine it supplied. If the supplier is not capable to do that, more
than one supplier can be selected to supply the needs of the factory.
A3-B4
If the demand of all the player increases, the supplier needs to increase its production
to response in a short term. If this is not applicable, for different equipments different
suppliers should be selected. If the variety of demand changes in the market by all of the
players, a supplier should be selected which has strong R&D department and serve to
different needs of the market.
A4-B4
If the location of the factory is close to the city a supplier should be selected which is
located close to city and deliver orders in a short time. Similarly, if the location of the factory
is in the organized industrial region, a supplier should be selected which is located close to
region and deliver orders in a short time. The physical capability of the supplier such as m2
and m3 should be enough to serve the demands from it.
A5-B4
If the various product characteristics are needed, more than one supplier should be
selected to satisfy all needed characteristics of products. The reason is the idea of each
supplier may specialize on different characteristics.
A6-B4
If geographical conditions of the supplier makes harder to make transportation, a
supplier which is close to us should be selected because maybe a sudden breakdown occurand we need new equipments. If this is not applicable, maybe we can stock some important
53
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
54/95
equipment which has bigger probability of breakdown. Similar situations are valid for the
climatic conditions.
A7-B4
If we do not have enough worker a more technological machine may be supplied if
there is skilled workers or if the supplier can educate some of the workers to function the
machine. If we have enough workers but not skilled workers, the supplier can supply a
machine which is ease to use and control.
A8-B4
If we have capital availability, probably there wont be a problem between the factory
and the supplier. However, if we have capital problem, a supplier should be selected which
makes same agreements about payments.
A9-B4
If global warming cause different climatic situation rather than regular features of that
climate, a supplier should be selected which can adjust it to new conditions. Moreover,
different suppliers can be selected in the world which is in different regions.
A10-B4
If an economic crisis occurs due to an earthquake, a factory may not supply its
requirement from a factory in an earthquake area. For this reason, different suppliers from
different regions can be selected to take a precaution.
A11-B4
If a regional war occurs, making production in different places is a logical idea.
Similarly, different suppliers should be selected in different regions to get the requirements on
time.
A12-B4
54
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
55/95
If an economic crisis occurs, probably the cash gain big importance and if a factory
does not have enough cash, a factory should make an agreement about payment type that
allows to factory to delay the debit.
A13-B4
If there is a significant decrease in dollar and euro, the value of Turkish money will
increase ad this makes to export harder. If you have a foreign supplier, this may cause same
disagreements about payment. For this reason, local and foreign supplier should be selected to
decrease the effect of sudden change of dollar and Euro.
A14-B14
If there is a strike in the factory, there should be a delay about supplies. If a supplier
has a strike, different suppliers should be selected from different regions to decrease the
effect.
B5
Supplier selection for raw materials
A1-B5
If the production volume increase, the need for raw material will increase and supplier
have to be capable of doing that. If one supplier is not enough to get needed amount, more
than one supplier should be selected.
A2-B5
If the demand increases for the product, the demand for raw material also increases
because they are directly related. Similarly, if the variability of the demand increases for the
product, the demand variability for raw material also increases.
55
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
56/95
A3-B5
If the demand increases by all the players in the industry, the demand for raw materials
will increase. Similarly , if the variety of demands increases, variety increases but probably it
will be less than the variability of one company.
A4-B5
If the factory is close to city, the supplier may be selected from close to factory. Also,
if the factory does not have enough places to hold inventory, the supplier should be selected
that have a big inventory both in m2 and m3.
A5-B5
If the manufacturing facility produces products that have different characteristics,
different raw materials may be needed and a supplier should be selected to supply these kinds
of materials or different suppliers can be selected to satisfy all characteristics.
A6-B5
If geographical conditions of the supplier makes harder to make transportation, a
supplier which is close to us should be selected because maybe there will not be enough space
to hold inventory. If this is not applicable different suppliers should be selected because if one
of them will not reach, the other supplier may deliver the raw materials. Similar situations are
valid for the climatic conditions.
A7-B5
If we do not have enough worker the supplier of the raw material has not something
much to do. If a supplier has not enough workers, a different supplier may be use to keep
production.
A8-B5
If we have capital availability, probably there wont be a problem between the factory
and the supplier. However, if we have capital problem, a supplier should be selected whichmakes same agreements about payments.
56
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
57/95
A9-B5
If global warming cause different climatic situation rather than regular features of that
climate, a supplier should be selected which can adjust it to new conditions. For example, for
a orange juice producer, the supplier of the oranges shuld be awere of when he will deliver the
oranges. Moreover, different suppliers can be selected in the world which is in different
regions to decrease problem rate.
A10-B5
If an economic crisis occurs due to an earthquake, a factory may not supply its
requirement from a factory in an earthquake area. For this reason, different suppliers from
different regions can be selected to take a precaution.
A11-B5
If a regional war occurs, making production in different places is a logical idea.
Similarly, different suppliers should be selected in different regions to get the requirements on
time.
A12-B5
If an economic crisis occurs, probably the cash gain big importance and if a factory
does not have enough cash, a factory should make an agreement about payment type that
allows to factory to delay the debit.
A13-B5
If there is a significant decrease in dollar and euro, the value of Turkish money will
increase ad this makes to export harder. If you have a foreign supplier, this may cause same
disagreements about payment. For this reason, local and foreign supplier should be selected to
decrease the effect of sudden change of dollar and Euro.
A14-B5
If there is a strike in the factory, the supplier should be a delay about supplies. If a
supplier has a strike, different suppliers should be selected from different regions to decreasethe effect.

Fixed costs for establishing the production facility
Fixed cost may occur due to the cost of opening a facility or establishing a facility.
This cost includes the cost of machines will be bought, cost of the land to establish the factory
and the cost of opening the facility each time. The establishing cost of the facility is sunk
cost in economic terms.
A1-B6
If the production volume increases, new machine may will be needed and this
increases the fixed cost. If a new facility has to be open, this also increases the fixed costs. If
the demand variability is high, maybe we need an expensive machine which is adjustable to
produce different amount in a fixed production time. This may increase the fixed costs.
A2-B6
If the demand is high, a bigger facility should be established and this causes higher
fixed costs while establishing the facility that is more than the fixed costs of opening a smaller
facility. If the demand variability for the product is high, a facility may be needed to answer
even the highest level of the demand. For this reason, it can be said that, if demand variability
is high, the fixed cost probably becomes higher than the situation that the demand variability
is low.
A3-B6
If the demand of all the players in the market for products increases, new facilities
may need to be opened and this increases fixed costs. However, if some firms which makes
establishments enters the market due to the high demand, it may cause a reduction on the
fixed cost for establishment because of competition.
A4-B6
58
8/14/2019 Project Eryilmaz Karaman
59/95
If the facility established close to a big city, the land cost of the factory may be high.
Similar situation can be occur, if a factory land is bought in an organized industrial area rather
than using a land far away from the city but these places will provide a reduction in some
costs such as transportation cost. Also, the bigger area of the factory increases the both land
cost and establishment cost and the bigger volume of the factory increases the establishment
costs.
A5-B6
Various product characteristics may achieved by using various machines and this
increases the fixed costs. Also, various steps may be needed in different areas that increases
the fixed costs.
A6-B6
Geographical condition may affect the fixed cost, for example if the land is very rocky,
establishment cost increase. In addition, if the climatic condition cause very cold or rainy
weather, the factory must have the precautions such as isolation that increases the
establishment cost.
A7-B6
If there is no optimality in the number of working people which are establishing, the
establishment cost may increase.
A8-B6
If there is lack of capital availability, it may be hard to challenge with establishment
costs. If the company is paying
