SUMMARY
Balbinder S. Deo has worked in industry and academic institutions for many
years to search for the technical and managerial causes of low productivity in
assembly line production systems, ore production and processing systems,
vegetative oils processing systems and job shop type manufacturing systems.
Since July 2000, he is working as an assistant professor (Term position), in
the Department of Finance & Management Science, University of Saskatchewan.
He has offered Production & Operations Management courses to MBA, and 2nd
year commerce students. He had also offered Purchasing and Materials Management
course to 4th year commerce students in Fall 2000.
Over five and a half years he has used computer simulation and costing
techniques for detailed analysis of operations to search the causes of low
productivity in assembly line production systems, ore mining and ore processing
systems, and job shop type manufacturing systems. He has discovered basic
modeling principles to simulate assembly lines, manufacturing operations, ore
mining and processing operations and these principles are also applicable to
service operations. He has identified and studied the elements of cost involved
in operations for developing the Operation Based Costing System. The system has
been tested in Inco Ltd., Thompson, Manitoba and in New Holland Canada Ltd.
Winnipeg, Manitoba.
He has developed the basic methodology for evaluation of productivity and
productivity losses in manufacturing systems. He has identified the causes of
productivity loss and developed the measurement technique to measure the share
of productivity loss for each cause. He has tested the methodology in New
Holland Canada Ltd. Winnipeg, Manitoba. The methodology is useful in developing
cost information for basic manufacturing and assembly line production systems.
At the University of Manitoba, he has assisted in teaching simulation
techniques to model manufacturing systems. He also assisted in teaching
manufacturing cost analysis course to graduate and undergraduate engineering
students. He instructed manufacturing cost analysis course to industrial
engineering students for one session at the University of Manitoba. He also
delivered lectures on comparative advantages of simulation modeling languages,
such as Witness and Automode to graduate and under graduate engineering
students. He has conducted week long two training sessions on Computer
Simulations to mining engineers at INCO, Thompson, Canada.
Since October 1998, he has modeled many manufacturing assembly plans and
layouts for different tractor assembly lines at New Holland Canada Ltd.
Winnipeg, Manitoba. For each layout he showed production bottlenecks,
requirement of waiting spaces, capacity of waiting spaces and buffers, at
different production capacity levels. He displayed the conflicts related to
time, space, distance, and effects of defective parts entering the production
system. He also examined the production capacity of existing system and
compared it with the proposed assembly line plans to reduce the size of
investment for assembly line expansion.

FUTURE RESEARCH DIRECTION
His future research work will be based on Simulation Modeling and Operation
Based Cost analysis techniques for measuring and improving productivity in
production, service and managerial operations by identifying the causes of poor
productivity under different production scenarios. The technique will also be
tested to evaluate the operational strategies of companies under different scenarios.
Supply Chain Operations are another research area that needs the development of
cost information structure for each node of the supply chain for better supply
chain operations and supply chain management decisions. The testing and use of
the costing technique in different areas will be helpful in refining and
developing the basic manufacturing cost fundamentals for accurately measuring
productivity for manufacturing and services industries. Development of the
structure of database for Operation Based Cost analysis technique is another
dimension of research that needs exploration. Application of Operation Based
Costing will also include the analysis of productivity, productivity loss, and
finding the causes of productivity loss in various North American manufacturing
& servicing companies. In addition to that the role of social and political
factors in manufacturing decision process is also needs to be examined.
