WHAT IS PRODUCTION PROCESS?
• The production process is concerned with transforming a range of inputs
into those outputs that are required by the market.
• This involves two main sets of resources
- the transforming resources,
- the transformed resources.
3. The transforming resources
include the buildings,
machinery, computers, and
people that carry out the
transforming processes.
The transformed resources
are the raw materials and
components that are
transformed into end
products.
Two main resources
4. There are three main types of process:
Job production: Job or 'make complete' production is the creation of single items by either
one operative or a team of operative's.
A number of identical units can be produced in parallel under job production.
Batchproduction:The term batch refers to a specific group of components, which go
through a production process together. As one batch finishes, the next one starts.
Flow production:Flow production is therefore a continuous process of parts and sub-
assemblies passing on from one stage to another until completion.
5. FLOW PRODUCTION
• Units are worked upon in each operation and then passed straight on
to the next work stage without waiting for the batch to be completed.
To make sure that the production line can work smoothly each
operation must be of standard lengths and there should be no
movements or leakages from the line, i.e. hold-ups to work-in-
progress.
• For flow production to be successful there needs to be a continuity of
demand. If demand varied, this could lead to a constant overstocking
of finished goods.

WHAT IS PRODUCTION PLAN?
• production plan is the portion of your intermediate-range business
plan that your manufacturing operations department is responsible
for developing.
7. 7
Production Planning Purpose
• Effectively utilize limited resources in the production of goods so as to
satisfy customer demands and create a profit for investors.
8. 8
Production Planning Main Functions
• Forecasting
• Aggregate planning
• Materials Requirement Planning
• Inventory Management
• Sequencing and Scheduling
9. 9
A carefully developed production plan meets the following objectives :
• Minimize costs/maximize profits
• Maximizes customer service
• Minimize inventory investment
• Minimize changes in production rates
• Minimize changes in work-force levels
• Maximize the utilization of plant and equipment
