4. OBJECTIVE OF
MANUFACUTRING AND
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
SYSTEM
It is responsible for actually producing
the firm’s goods and services.
This system deals with planning,
development & maintenance of
production facilities.
Establishment of production goals
The acquisition, storage and availability
of production materials.
Scheduling of
euipment,facilities,materials and labor
required to fashion finished products.
5. EXAMPLE OF
MANUFACTURING AND
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
SYSTEMS
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION GROUPS SERVED
Machine control Controls the action of
machine and
equipment
Operational
management
Production Planning Decides when and
how many products
should be produced
Middle management
Facilities Location Decides where to
locate new production
facilities
Senior management
6. SOME OTHER TYPES OF MANUFACTURING
AND PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Production scheduling: This system schedules the
use of manufacturing facilities to produce products
most efficiently.
Material requirements planning (MRP): The
purpose of this system is to determine what parts
and materials will be needed during the
manufacturing process and when they will be
needed.
Manufacturing resource planning (MRP II): This
system is called MRP II to distinguish it from
materials requirements planning. It combines MRP
with production scheduling and other functions in
a comprehensive manufacturing information
system.
7. CONTD.
Just-in-time (JIT) inventory management:
This system is a form of inventory control in
which parts and materials are scheduled to
arrive from suppliers just before they are
needed in the manufacturing process.
Computer-aided design (CAD): This system
involves using computers to assist in the
design of products to be manufactured.
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM): This
system involves using computers to control
machines in the manufacturing process
9. Material Requirements Planning
(MRP)
Components:
1. Production scheduling system --
produces a master production
schedule that encompasses the
longest lead time plus the longest
production time.
2. MRP system -- explodes the bill of
materials. Converts the gross
requirements into the net
requirements.
10. MRP Components
(continued)
3. Capacity requirements planning
system works with MRP system to
keep production within plant capacity.
Produces outputs: reports and
planned order schedule.
4. Order release system produces
reports for shop floor and purchasing.
11. Manufacturing Resource
Planning (MRP-II)
The purpose is to integrate MRP with all
systems that affect materials
management
Organizational systems
Accounting information system
13. SOME OTHER TYPES OF MANUFACTURING
AND PRODUCTION SYSTEMS CONTD.
Robotics:This system uses computer-
controlled robots in the manufacturing
process
Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM):
This system combines many of the other
manufacturing systems into a single system.
Supply-chain management: This system
manages the movement of materials and
products from suppliers through
manufacturing and distribution to retailers
15. Input Subsystem
The Accounting Information System gathers internal
data describing the manufacturing operation and
environmental data that describes the firm’s
transactions with its suppliers.
The Industrial Engineering Subsystem consists of
special data-gathering projects from inside the firm. It
provides proper production standards.
• The manufacturing Intelligence Subsystem gathers
data from the environment. The data collected
includes recent updates from the activities of labor
unions and suppliers.
16. Output Subsystem
• The Production Subsystem measures the production
process in terms of Time i.e. tracking the work flow
step by step.
• The Inventory Subsystem measures the production
process in terms of Volume of production –
transformation of raw materials in to finished
products.
• The Quality Subsystem measures the quality of
materials as they are transformed during the
production process.
• The Cost Subsystem monitors and measures the
cost required during the production process.
