4 Flow Production: Nissan utilizes flow production for high-demand models where a continuous production process is essential to meet market demands efficiently. This method is characterized by a continuous assembly line where vehicles move through various stations in a sequential manner. Repetitive Production: In cases where the company produces a consistent volume of vehicles with minor variations, repetitive production is employed. This method is suitable for models that do not require frequent retooling of production lines (Samaraweera, et al. 2023). Just-In-Time (JIT) Production: Nissan is well-known for implementing JIT production techniques, which involve manufacturing components and vehicles just in time to meet customer demand. This method minimizes inventory costs and allows for greater flexibility in production. 1.4 Selected Product For the purpose of our Production Design project, we have chosen to focus on Nissan's mid-sized sedan, the Nissan Altima. The Nissan Altima is a popular model known for its blend of style, performance, and advanced technology. By selecting the Nissan Altima as our product, we aim to explore the production processes and supply chain management specific to this vehicle, providing valuable insights into the manufacturing practices at Nissan. CHAPTER 2; CASH2CASH CYCLE To calculate the Cash-to-Cash (C2C) cycle for the selected product, the following data is provided: Component Number of Days Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) 45 Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) 30 Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) 20
5 To calculate the C2C cycle for Nissan: Calculate the Average Daily Sales (Sd): Sd = Gross Sales / Number of Days Sd = $1,700,000 / 30 days Sd = $56,666 per day Calculate the Accounts Receivable Days (ARd): ARd = Accounts Receivable / Sd ARd = $400,000 / $56,666 per day ARd = 7.06 days (rounded to 2 decimal places) Calculate the Average Daily Cost of Sales (Cd): Cd = Sd * (Cost of Goods Sold / Gross Sales) Cd = $56,666 per day * ($900,000 / $1,700,000) Cd = $30,000 per day Calculate the Average Days of Inventory (Id): Id = Inventory Value / Cd Id = $480,000 / $30,000 per day Id = 16 days Calculate the Accounts Payable Cycle Time (APd): APd = Accounts Payable / Cd APd = $230,000 / $30,000 per day APd = 7.67 days (rounded to 2 decimal places ) Calculate the Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time (C2C): C2C = ARd + Id - APd
6 C2C = 7.06 days + 16 days - 7.67 days C2C = 15.39 days (rounded to 2 decimal places ) The Cash-to-Cash (C2C) cycle for Nissan is approximately 15.39 days. This means it takes Nissan an average of 15.39 days to convert its investments in inventory and accounts receivable into cash flow from customers. Suggested Recommendations Efficient Accounts Receivable Management: Nissan can work on reducing DSO by streamlining its credit and collections processes. This can involve offering discounts for early payments, improving invoicing accuracy, and enhancing customer relationships. Optimize Inventory Management: Nissan can aim to reduce the number of days inventory is outstanding by improving inventory management practices. This includes implementing just-in-time inventory systems and reducing excess inventory. Negotiate with Suppliers: While maintaining good relationships with suppliers, Nissan can explore opportunities to negotiate better payment terms, which can extend the Days Payable Outstanding and provide a short-term cash flow benefit. Advanced Technology: Investing in advanced financial and supply chain management systems can help automate processes, enhance data visibility, and enable better decision- making, ultimately optimizing the C2C cycle. CHAPTER 3: SALES & OPERATIONS PLAN According to a report by a leading market research agency, the forecasted demand for the selected product, the Nissan Altima, for the next year (2024) is as follows: Monthly Forecasted Demand for Nissan Altima: Month Forecasted Demand January 3,500 units February 3,800 units March 4,200 units

7 April 3,600 units May 3,900 units June 4,100 units July 4,000 units August 3,800 units September 3,700 units October 3,600 units November 3,300 units December 3,500 units Explanation of the strategies: Chase Strategy: The Chase Strategy involves adjusting the production and workforce levels to match the forecasted demand. In this case, the company would produce exactly the number of units needed each month to meet customer demand. This strategy minimizes excess inventory and carrying costs but can be challenging as it requires constant adjustments. Level Strategy: The Level Strategy maintains a constant production rate regardless of fluctuations in demand (Shimamura, 2023). Any variations between production and demand are managed through inventory. This strategy helps to stabilize production and workforce levels, ensuring more consistent operations. However, it may result in holding excess inventory during periods of low demand. Mixed Strategy: The Mixed Strategy combines elements of both Chase and Level strategies. It aims to balance the benefits of both strategies, maintaining a moderate level of flexibility in production while also managing inventory more effectively ( Chen & Ma, 2023) .
8 Recommended strategy After meticulous evaluation leads us to recommend the application of the Mixed Strategy for the production of the Nissan Altima. This strategy offers a harmonious blend of production flexibility and inventory control for the following reasons: Product Characteristics: The Nissan Altima enjoys a stable and well-established market presence, suggesting suitability for a Level Strategy. Nonetheless, accounting for minor demand fluctuations is imperative. Market Dynamics: The automotive industry is profoundly competitive, and even slight production deviations could translate into the loss of market share. Thus, maintaining a consistent production rate is prudent. Customer-Centric Approach: A steady production rate ensures that our customers consistently access our product, contributing to enhanced customer satisfaction. Operational Efficiency and Inventory Management: The Mixed Strategy grants Nissan the ability to adapt to seasonal and minor demand fluctuations while concurrently optimizing inventory management. This approach mitigates carrying costs and minimizes production interruptions. CHAPTER 4: MASTER PRODUCTION SCHEDULING The Nissan Master Production Schedule (MPS) is a carefully designed plan that outlines the timing, volume, and product range to be produced by the company. This plan takes into account customer demand and production capacity, ensuring that Nissan can efficiently meet market requirements while optimizing its operational efficiency. When developing the MPS for Nissan, critical factors such as sales projections, production capabilities, and inventory levels are considered. The primary objective is to ensure that the right quantity of products is produced at precisely the right time to meet consumer demand effectively. To create the MPS for Nissan, the company relies on a range of forecasting techniques. These methods include thorough market research, historical sales data analysis, and feedback from sales and marketing teams. By analyzing these inputs, Nissan determines the expected demand for its products (Hamidu, Boachie-Mensah & Issau, 2023). The MPS also takes into consideration Nissan's production capabilities, capacity, and any potential production bottlenecks that may arise. It factors in the
9 time required to manufacture each product, ensuring that the production process is as efficient as possible. Nissan utilizes various production management techniques, including flexible manufacturing and just-in-time practices, to manage and optimize production operations. These approaches help Nissan adapt to changing demand and minimize excess inventory while maintaining a high level of operational efficiency. Production Strategy: As suggested in Chapter 3, we will implement the Mixed Strategy to balance flexibility and inventory management. Monthly Demand and Planned Production: Month Forecasted Demand Planned Production January 3,500 units 3,500 units February 3,800 units 3,800 units March 4,200 units 4,200 units To ensure there is no unsatisfied demand, we will further break down the monthly production into weeks, assuming a 4-week month: January (Weeks 1-4): Week Weekly Demand (Approx.)

This process involves assessing the production requirements, determining the available resources, and matching them to ensure a smooth workflow. In this chapter, we will discuss how capacity planning is executed and provide data on the resources used by the company to produce the selected product, the Nissan Altima. We will also perform calculations to check if the resource quantities align with the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) data, and provide suggestions if any discrepancies exist.
14 Capacity Planning Process: Capacity planning starts by analyzing the demand forecast, as determined in Chapter 3. This forecast specifies the quantity of products required over a given time frame. To meet this demand, the company needs to identify the resources required for production. This includes machines, workers, and working centers. Resource Identification: The first step is to identify all the resources involved in the production process. This includes the machines used for manufacturing, the workers involved in assembly, and the working centers where different production stages occur. Resource Quantification: Once the resources are identified, the next step is to determine the quantity of each resource required to meet the production demand. This involves evaluating the production rates of machines, the labor hours needed by workers, and the capacity of working centers. These factors are crucial for calculating the quantity of each resource needed. Capacity Calculation: Capacity planning involves performing calculations to ensure that the available resources can meet the production demand. This calculation considers the lead times, production rates, and working hours. If the calculated resource quantities do not match the MRP data, it indicates a potential bottleneck in the production process. Resource Adjustment: If there is a discrepancy between the resource quantities and the MRP data, adjustments may be necessary. This could involve increasing the number of machines or workers, optimizing the working hours, or reorganizing the production process to enhance efficiency.
