3.  Scheduling production  Manufacturing production  Controlling production activities  Scheduling production  Manufacturing production  Controlling production activities

4.  Before production begins the manager must know what product is being produced and how many.  This information is gained through production planning and control personnel  Before production begins the manager must know what product is being produced and how many.  This information is gained through production planning and control personnel

5.  Routing: deciding where the work is to be done  Scheduling: deciding when the work is to be started and completed  Dispatching: issuing work orders to start actual production  Expediting: seeing that the work is progressing on schedule  Routing: deciding where the work is to be done  Scheduling: deciding when the work is to be started and completed  Dispatching: issuing work orders to start actual production  Expediting: seeing that the work is progressing on schedule

6.  Routing depends on the type of manufacturing being used. ◦ Continuous manufacturing routes are built into the factory layout.  The product moves along fixed paths from station to station ◦ Intermittent and custom manufacturing plants group the equipment by function.  Routing depends on the type of manufacturing being used. ◦ Continuous manufacturing routes are built into the factory layout.  The product moves along fixed paths from station to station ◦ Intermittent and custom manufacturing plants group the equipment by function.

7.  The path of materials through the manufacturing facility are shown on a flow diagram.

8.  A line production Traveler is used by managers to monitor total production schedules.  It includes: ◦ A description of the operation ◦ The product rate in pieces per hour ◦ The number of operators and machines needed ◦ The cost of producing the product in standard units  A line production Traveler is used by managers to monitor total production schedules.  It includes: ◦ A description of the operation ◦ The product rate in pieces per hour ◦ The number of operators and machines needed ◦ The cost of producing the product in standard units

9.  Weekly production meeting will be held to review production schedules and to expedite.  The goal is to use 100% of the manufacturing plant.  Schedules are based on: ◦ Sales forecasts by day, week, and month for each product ◦ Inventory levels for both raw materials and finished products ◦ Manufacturing capacity to be schedules in terms of the number of products that can be produced per hour or day  Schedules determine the parts or products that should be manufactured each day the plant operates  Weekly production meeting will be held to review production schedules and to expedite.  The goal is to use 100% of the manufacturing plant.  Schedules are based on: ◦ Sales forecasts by day, week, and month for each product ◦ Inventory levels for both raw materials and finished products ◦ Manufacturing capacity to be schedules in terms of the number of products that can be produced per hour or day  Schedules determine the parts or products that should be manufactured each day the plant operates

10.  Production schedules must also consider lead time, including the time it takes to: ◦ Order and receive materials and parts that must be purchased ◦ Make parts from materials ◦ Assemble parts into products ◦ Package products for delivery  Production schedules must also consider lead time, including the time it takes to: ◦ Order and receive materials and parts that must be purchased ◦ Make parts from materials ◦ Assemble parts into products ◦ Package products for delivery

11.  Dispatching involves releasing daily or weekly schedules  Expediting involves keeping the product on schedule with daily product reports ◦ If the schedule is broken, corrective action might include:  Overtime  Retraining workers  Changing operations to improve efficiency  Holding a motivational meeting  Dispatching involves releasing daily or weekly schedules  Expediting involves keeping the product on schedule with daily product reports ◦ If the schedule is broken, corrective action might include:  Overtime  Retraining workers  Changing operations to improve efficiency  Holding a motivational meeting

18.  After scheduling, the products must be produced. They run through 2 types of production: ◦ Pilot production – Manufactures test the new production lines before placing the product in full production  Corrections for problems might include: tooling designs, production methods, plant layouts, and material handling system ◦ Full Scale production – this is where the efficient manufacturing takes place  After scheduling, the products must be produced.

19.  When changes are made to the flow process, it is done on a Traveler.

20.  There are 3 major categories of information for controlling production: ◦ Production data – this is a report that lists the number of products schedules to be built, the number of products started, the number of products scraped, and the number of products completed. ◦ Inspection data - comes from 3 types of inspection: material, in-work, and finished product inspection. Inspectors check materials as they move through the process ◦ Payroll data – this is the pay to the employees for the completed work.  There are 3 major categories of information for controlling production: ◦ Production data – this is a report that lists the number of products schedules to be built, the number of products started, the number of products scraped, and the number of products completed. ◦ Inspection data - comes from 3 types of inspection: material, in-work, and finished product inspection.
