Finance Financial ratios


But profitability ratios are not enough to gain a balanced view of the performance of a company. Why ? Profitability is important but achieving liquidity is vital for survival. A lot of failure have come from that. A company must be able to meet its financial obligations.

Copyright Erwan Guiziou 2013 All rights reserved

Finance (3/3) Liquidity ratios


8 Current ratio: measures the ability of a company to meet its financial obligations due within one year. A low current ratio indicates potential difficulties. High current ratio can mean idle resources. Liquid ratio = attempts to measure a companys ability to pay its way in the short-term without having to liquidate stock. The acid test, can we pay our way ? i.e. pay our debts as and when they are due. Stock turn: number of times stock is turned over on average in one year. The higher the ratio the better. Debtors weeks: number of weeks on average debtors take to pay their invoices. The lower the ratio the better. Efficiency of the credit control Creditors weeks: number of weeks on average the company takes to pay its creditors. The higher the ratio the better. But be careful on not overdoing it in a partnership

Operations a few definitions


- Structure (suppliers, internal operations, customers - Capacity (the measure of usable resources available to a system) - Scheduling (minimizing production time and costs) lead time = getting the materials + building - Inventory - Quality - quality by inspection (eg 10% of the products checked) - quality control, aiming at mistakes prevention - quality insurance (documentation and consistency) - TQM process improvement requests - 6 Sigma: 3.4 defects per million opportunities

Operations an example Dell


Step 1 - Preparation and assembly

1. Process initiation - Orders download from IT system (in parts) and description of order called the traveller (paper) 2. Parts availability checked --> orders not started if parts missing. Anti static tote with traveller on conveyor belt 3. Parts added to tote with pick to lights (PTL) system - each part scanned --> inventory and tracability measures 4. Chassis, memories and processors added at the end in a special tray as more costly (damage risks reduced) 5.Operator installs MB into chassis - delicate operation separated - conveyor moves system to furthest BTO cell 6. Three operators per cell - 2 for build, 1 for testing - when system built, quick test applied; if system fails test, it is 7. rerouted to another area where retest occurs. If fails again, disassembly process happens

Copyright Erwan Guiziou 2012 2013 Tous All rights droits reserved rservs

Operations an example Dell


Step 2 - Quality checks, Software download and labelling

8. Systems removed from conveyor belt by multi-unit Stacker for SW download and tests - human damages avoided 9. Ten percent of systems pulled off from assembly line for quality assurance checks 10. Two test cycles - diagnostics and hardware. After software downloaded, systems re-tested 11. Common and some customer specific SW download - Final test, systems de-stacked and moved back to conveyor 11A. Specific customer hardware, software, asset tagging and labelling added 12. Brand and model labels applied - FCC and other suppliers label applied(e.g. Intel) - Here as at each stage, capture 13. of routing position - Full quality test (labels, cosmetics, hoods)

Operations an example Dell


Step 3 - Shipping preparation

14. System scanned - removed from tray by hoist and placed into pre-assembled cardboard box 15. Docs and accessories added and scanned into the box using PTL system (inventory and WIP adjust) 16. Ten percent of systems have contents checked 17. Daily, 1.5 percent of system are totally checked to evaluate customer experience with initial use of the equipment 18. Automatic seal of boxes - multiple orders move to staging area - single orders directly to shipping 19. Multi-unit order consolidated assembled together and placed on conveyor to shipping. Completed orders scanned 20. and moved directly to pre-assigned trucks. Last scan before truck. Peripherals and monitors merged offsite

Operations Dell - metrics


The Customer Experience metrics available to every employee world-wide region by region updated every week

STT - Ship To Target: It measures the percentage of complete systems which ship from Dells manufacturing facilities within 5 days from the time the order was entered into the sales system
IFIR - Initial Field Incident Rate: It measures customer issues (real or perceived) requiring parts or service or replacement of a system within 30 days of the system shipment. MWD Missing, Wrong and Damaged: It measures customer issues when delivered systems either do not contain the right components or components are missing or systems are damaged. Very important for customer satisfaction. SDOTFTF Service Delivery On-Time First Time Fix: It measures the percentage of service calls completed by a Dell Service Provider (DSP) in which the technician arrived with the required part(s) within the contractual period (for example, 4 hours or Next Business Day) and resolved the issue on the first visit.
