Frank Chen is currently the John L. Lawrence Endowed Professor of Manufacturing Systems Engineering at the Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Virginia Tech. He was the founding Director (2001-2004) and is currently the Associate Director leading the area of Flexible Automation and Lean Manufacturing Technologies of the Center for High Performance Manufacturing at Virginia Tech. Before returning to academia in 1991, he was with Caterpillar Technical Center and held positions as a Manufacturing Systems Engineer in the Machining & Automation Division, a Senior Manufacturing Systems Engineer in the Metrology and Process Control Division, and a Project Manager leading a corporate research and technical services group with specialization in design and control of manufacturing cells. Dr. Chen served in the Industrial Review Board of the Next Generation Controller (NGC) Program sponsored by the US Air Force 1990-1991 and is currently serving in the Technology Advisory Panel of the U.S. National Next Generation Manufacturing Technology Initiative ().His current research interests include lean manufacturing and operations, design and analysis of flexible manufacturing systems, intelligent manufacturing, microelectronics and defense manufacturing, and enterprise modeling and integration. As the author or co-author of over 160 technical papers and reports, Dr. Chen is an associate editor of SME Journal of Manufacturing Systems and serves in the editorial board of the International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology where he also served as an editor or co-editor of two special issues on neural network and Petri nets applications in manufacturing and design. Dr. Chen is also editing and authoring a book manuscript for Springer Series in Advanced Manufacturing – Trends in Supply Chain Design and Management: Technologies and Methodologies for January 2007 publication.Dr. Chen demonstrated prolific research careers in both industry and academia. He received the Distinguished Services Award from VP-Technical Services of Caterpillar Inc. in 1991. As one of the nine NSF nominated engineering professors in the U.S. who received the 1996 Presidential Faculty Fellows Award from President Clinton at the White House, Dr. Chen has served as a principal investigator of over $8 million externally funded research projects and equipment grants sponsored by agencies such as National Science Foundation, Caterpillar Inc., Air Force Research Laboratory, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and most recently the Commonwealth of Virginia (Commonwealth Technology Research Fund Program), since 1991.Dr. Chen received the B.E. (Industrial Engineering) from Tunghai University (in Taiwan) and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in industrial engineering from the University of Missouri-Columbia. He is a member of ASEE, and a senior member of both Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) and North American Manufacturing Research Institution of Society of Manufacturing Engineers (NAMRI/SME).Department of Industrial Engineering & Management.twI-Shou University, KaohsiungRoom: 5030114:30-16:00 Mon, 06/19/2006 Cost-Time Profiling: Impact of Lean Tools on the Cost-Time Investment of aProductF. Frank Chen, Ph.D.John Lawrence Endowed Professor of Manufacturing Systems EngineeringCenter for High Performance ManufacturingGrado Department of Industrial and Systems EngineeringVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State UniversityBlacksburg, VA 24061ABSTRACTTraditional costing systems consider the accumulation of costs, but not their timing. Value Stream Mapping presents a good picture of the time used and operations performed in a manufacturing process, but it does not track the accumulation of costs. The Cost-Time Profile (CTP) is a tool that follows the accumulation of cost in the manufacturing of a product through time; and it finds the Cost-Time Investment (CTI), which is an indicator of the use of resources in the manufacturing of a product through quantities and timing. In this paper, the expected impact of Lean Implementations on the CTP and CTI is discussed. The Cost-Time Profile is proposed as a useful tool for the evaluation of the improvements achieved by the implementation of Lean Tools and Techniques.The 36th International Conference on Computers and Industrial Engineering.tw/cie2006Howard Hotel, Taipei13:00-13:45 Wed, 06/21/2006Beyond Partnerships: The Power of Lean Supply ChainsDr. F. Frank ChenJohn Lawrence Professor of Manufacturing Systems EngineeringGrado Department of Industrial and Systems EngineeringVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech)Blacksburg, VA 24061ABSTRACTManaging an integrated supply chain has become a necessary task for competing in the global market. Cooperating with business partners prevents from duplicating efforts and allows a company to focus on its core competency. Hence, prominent companies together form a strong supply chain. At a smaller scale, practitioners of lean concepts have demonstrated dramatic improvement in productivity within the manufacturing facilities. However, the benefits of lean implementation bump into walls when the business partners are excluded from the Value Stream Map. The flow from a lean supplier to a lean customer may not be lean if the two parties are not synchronized. As a result, the supply chain formed with prominent companies may not be robust after all, due to weak links. Extending the Value Stream Map from a lean company to its partners allows the company to pursue perfection. Furthermore, applying lean concepts to a supply chain opens a new window of opportunities for supply chain participants altogether to achieve higher level of competitive advantages. Thus, the integration of Supply Chain Management and Lean Thinking covers both local and overall leanness, which leads to a truly Lean Supply Chain.This presentation provides an overview of Lean Supply Chain including concepts, approaches, challenges, and future development. In the first part of the presentation, basic concepts and impacts of lean thinking will be introduced followed by the issues of applying lean thinking in supply chain management. Then, an integrated framework of lean supply chain will be presented. The second part of the presentation covers the building blocks of the lean supply chains, which are lean logistics, information technology, performance measurement and improvement, and collaboration beyond partnerships. Subsequently, the challenges for building or maintaining a sustainable lean supply chain will be discussed. Finally, discussions on potential developments that can further improve the lean supply chains will be summarized.。
