Operation Management: Project Management in Jig and Fixture Industries

Article Preview

Abstract:

The economic growth in Southeast Asia has a number of benefits for downstream industries including jig and fixture fabricators. Jig and fixture fabricators are categorized as small and medium industries that operate based on job-shop manufacturing concept. Meantime, jig and fixture projects are characterized by the unique nature of unforeseeable demand and customized design with multiple objectives. Hence, managing jig and fixture projects is eventually not an easy task. In line with this, this paper aims to develop an objective driven framework that is applicable to jig and fixture industries in Southeast Asia. Thus, the paper reviews various objectives and success factors for jig and fixture projects. The paper subsequently proposes a jig and fixture project management framework based on an objective-oriented project planning and management theory, namely Logical Framework Approach (LFA). The proposed framework is developed based on the concept that generalizations of jig and fixture projects objectives are infeasible. As such, the proposed framework treats projects objective individually. The uniqueness of the proposed framework is the multiple cross links that exist between project management success factors and project objectives. Intrinsically, the proposed framework presents a clearer picture on important factors that contribute towards the success of achieving each projects objective. The proposed framework has descriptive value in terms of studying, classifying and defining the relationships that govern jig and fixture project activities and project objectives.
