Normal Sin espaciado Titulo 1 Case: Pro Fishing Boats--A Value Stream Mapping Exercise Afishing boat mabichuet, Pro Fishing Boats, is having may problems with critical globally souced parts. Pro Fishing has two manufacturing facilities in the United States. The firm's relince en efficient global supply chain operations is increasing as the manifacturer is soucing more and more parts overseas including critical components. Recent problems with a number of these critical parts have caused line slundowns. In response. Pro Fishing has mandated sit week inventory on all globally sourced parts. Management has asked you to evaluate whether this is the right decision First, you must understand Pro Fishing's supply chain Currently, there is very little visibility (knowledge of the current status) of inventory in the supply chain, and communication with the supply base is minimal. In fact, the boat manufacturer does not have any visibility past the Tier I suppliers. Adding to the complexity of this problems, each part of the supply chain is handled by different departments within the company. In order to understand the supply chain, Pro Fishing has asked you to map its supply chain. To do so, it has identified a critical component to follow in the supply chain After having the opportunity to interview supply chain participants, including suppliers, you have collected the following information The component is manufactured overseas in China by the Tier I supplier, Manufacturing Inc. The Manufacturing los, production schedule is based on anders sett via fax from the Pro Fishing warehouse. It operates on a 90-60-30-day forecast, along with a weekly order. Upon completion of the component Manufacturing Inc. sends the component via truck to the Shanghai Port where it is loaded onto a ship heading to the United States. Loading at the part takes week, and track transport takes 3 days. Mattachering to holds a h-week famshed goods buffer inventory. Manufacturing time for each competent is only about 3 days. The slip boud to the United States takes about 14 days to travel overseas. Upon arrival in the United States, the component ismlouded at the Los Angeles port. This takes about 5 days and customs inspects the shipment in Los Angeles. The goods travel by train to Chicago, which takes about 7 days. Goods we held in Chicago for about half a week. From there, the component is trucked to a Pro Fishing warehouse where the 6-week inventory buffer has bem mandated Shipment to the Pro Fishing warehouse takes 2 days. From the warehouse, the components are trucked to plants in the United States triggered by electronic orders from each of the Pro Fishing plants. In talling to Manufacturing Inc. Pro Fishing has leamed that the component is made up of two main raw material one from China and the other from the United States. Due to the risk of runing out of these raw materials, Manufacturing Inc. maintains a 4-week buffer of the Chinese sw material do week buffer of the US-based raw materials. These Tier Il supplier orders are by formal purchase order only. It is interesting to note that andisting listes these suppliers due to Pro Fishing's strict supplier qualification requirements Questions 1. Create a value stream map (VSM) of this supply chain. What other information is needed? 2. Where is there risk for supply chain disruptions or stoppages to the flow of materials? 3. Where do opportunities reside in improving supply chain operations and how has VSM helped reveal these
