Abstract
Conexiones de Calidad (ConCal) specialises in the manufacture of electrical and electronic components and connectors in 8 locations in Europe. This case is set in one of their Spanish operations,with the focus on job scheduling in assembly operations. Line supervisors develop detailed weekly work schedules, including the design of manual assembly lines, trading workers among the six Assembly Groups as needed. The line supervisors also set up the lines and manage them throughout the week. Management is about to invest in an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system. Two of the candidate vendors propose to automate the line supervisors'' tasks as part of the implementation. Students can develop detailed work plans for the week, including the design of five manual lines. From this exercise, the implications of automating the task within an ERP/APS (advanced production systems) implementation can be evaluated.
