OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF SMITH& WESSON 17 PISTOL PRODUCTION
OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF SMITH& WESSON 17 PISTOL PRODUCTION

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to analyze operations management strategies that include production lot selection, safety stock and reorder point calculations, production sequencing, and material requirements planning in the production of the Smith & Wesson 17 Pistol. Data were processed using quantitative methods based on EOQ theory, safety stock management, the Critical Ratio, and Material Requirement Planning (MRP). The results show that a production lot of 40 units yields the lowest annual inventory cycle cost, with an optimal safety stock of 6 units and a reorder point of 38 units. A safety stock of 6 units and a reorder point of 38 units were calculated, considering a 90% cycle service level and a 4-week lead time. The priority order is A → B → C → E → D, with task A having the highest priority because it has the lowest CR. In Problem D, a leveling process is used to even out the workload in production, particularly for components such as Frames, Magazines, and Complete Triggers. In Problem E, Netting, Lotting, and Offsetting calculations are performed to ensure the availability of raw materials and components according to production needs. Production sequencing based on Critical Ratio and MRP tables ensures efficient production schedules and supply chain sustainability.
