Effects of complexity in manufacturing systems.

Effects Planning Organization Management Control
E1 High uncertainty of
demand
High difficulty in decision making Lack of effective
leadership
Lack of follow up to established plans
E2 Excess of installed
capacity
Bottlenecks and inefficiencies Lack of motivational initiatives Lack of
monitoring
E3 High volume of raw materials Imbalance in resource allocation Insufficient
supervision
Infrequent
evaluations
E4 High skills in the
workforce
Lack of standardized procedures Inefficiency in problem solving Poor
inspections
E5 High obsolescence of technology and
equipment
Changes in customer requirements Poor
communication
Lack of variance
analysis
E6 High variation in demand projection High number of customers Lack of resources and training opportunities Excess
inventory
E7 High number of
product SKUs
Difficulty in scheduling orders Lack of attention to quality and safety standards High financial pressure due to high operating costs
E8 High number of
product components and parts
Incompatible scheduling system Inability to handle internal conflicts Frequent delays in the execution of production processes
E9 Complex
infrastructure
Difficult order scheduling model Lack of a collaborative culture Lack of performance
indicators
E10 Different flows of
operations or activities
Lack of coordination between departments leading to conflicts and delays Resistance to change hindering the implementation of process improvements Poorly defined quality standards affecting product consistency
