(1988), Suzaki (1987) and Voss (1989). According to Oliver (1991), a survey carried out in 1987 64% from 132 manufacturing companies in the West are implementing or planning to implement JIT programs, while a survey carried out in 1988 found that, out of 1,000 manufacturing companies, approximately two-thirds were implementing or planning to use JIT. 1.1 Case Study Objective Birkbys Plastics Limited is a polymer engineering company which manufactures plastic injection moulding components and assemblies for customers such as Ford, Toyota, Black & Decker, Rank Xerox, Jaguar, VDO and Linkbuilder. In 1990, the Marubeni Corporation, one of the largest trading companies in the world bought Birkbys Plastics but, the Marubeni Corporation decided to allow Birkbys Plastics Limited to continue their development programme so as to serve their present customer. Figure 1.1 shows the existing layout of the Gemini Cell situated at Birkbys Plastics Limited. Data were collected to calculate machine efficiency and utilisation on the actual production from May 1997 to July 1997. Observations were made on the tool set-up and changeover to determine the actual setup time for the tool change. Records on product scrap and machine maintenance we collected to determine the frequency of service on the machines. Machine efficiency is defined as the percentage of time required for a machine to carryout each task against the actual time taken to perform that task. Machine utilisation is defined as the percentage of available time less stoppage time against the available time for a machine to carryout the task. Table 1.2 shows the summary of machine efficiency and utilisation of the Gemini Cell for the actual production from May to July 1997. Based on the Birkbys method, machine utilisation and efficiency are calculated as follows: Efficiency: Birkbys has set the efficiency for all the machines in the Gemini Cell to be 80% without doing any calculation. The reason for Birkbys Plastics Ltd. doing this is 'unknown'. Utilisation: Monthly Utilisation = (Monthly hours required to produced parts)/(Hours available x 0.8) 32
