2. What are Good Manufacturing Practices?
Systems devised to ensure the consistent production and control of
manufacturing in accordance with predetermined quality standards.
What do Good Manufacturing Practices cover?
• All aspects of manufacturing: from handling raw materials to the
manufacturing premises and workers’ activities
• These training materials focus on the two key aspects of Good
Manufacturing Practices in the context of wood processing MSMEs:
workshop operation management and material control
• Good Manufacturing Practices tackle two challenges that MSMEs
face: irregular operations and lack of material control
Good Manufacturing Practices
4. Creation of an operation policy that outlines, in simple terms, a principle of
action, rules and regulations, a strategy and commitments adhered to by the
enterprise. The operation policy would concentrate on the following areas:
1. Workshop policy
• Legality of the workshop operation (business permits,
notice of operation from authorities)
• Workshop rules and regulations in accordance with the
labour law (working hours and others)
• Social welfare: labour obligations and provisions for the
labour safety
• Quality statement or commitment
• Other policies that are related to laws and regulations,
such as timber legality
5. • Putting up an information board in
an area of the workshop accessible
to all workers and visitors, buyers
and government authorities
• One of the best ways to
communicate the policy and show
workers, visitors, buyers and
government authorities that the
enterprise is committed to legal and
sustainable operations

8. Main positions in the organisational chart
• General manager – the overall manager and controller of the business
• Quality assurance – formulates the quality assurance of the product from receiving production
materials to warehousing, processing, packaging, logistics and after-sale customer care.
• PPIC (Production, Planning, Inventory and Control) – manage the planning and inventory of raw
materials, work in progress, finished products and other production materials (fittings, paint and
packaging materials) needed in production activities.
• Administration – manages accounting,
purchasing, building maintenance and
human resources.
• Marketing and product development
Most family-based MSMEs consist of
the owner and the workers. Most
positions listed above are taken over
by the owner, more often by the
husband and wife. The two positions
mostly invisible are the PPIC and
quality assurance.

9. QA – Quality Assurance
It is a part of a manufacturing process ensuring that a factory in the wood processing
industry is providing the best possible products. QA is considered in the process of
planning, design, development and production.
QC – Quality Control
It is a part of each process in a factory ensuring a certain level of quality in a product.
Quality assurance and control in the wood processing industry
• QA focuses on the end-result, whereas QC focuses on each result.
• QA checks RANDOMLY the components/parts or product. QC checks EACH
component/part or products.
• QA responsibility starts from the receipt of the raw materials up to the client/buyer/end-user
• QC responsibility starts in receiving an item and output in EACH process.
• QA checks whether the QC is using the right tools and documents for each process.
11. PPIC is the practice of planning a production process (machine, tooling usage and
production materials) and controlling the inventory of raw materials to be processed into
finished goods.
It is responsible for planning and controlling a series of processes, making sure they run
according to the predetermined plan, work side by side with production, quality assurance,
marketing, purchasing and finance.
PPIC- Production Planning and Inventory Control
1. Creating master production schedules and
manufacturing orders, as well as forecasting
inventory requirements.
2. Creating plans for procurement of wood and
other direct materials needed in the production.
Forecasting inventory requirements and
procurement plans, not only of the main raw
material (wood), but also of:
• production tools: saw blades, drill bits and
hand tools
• processing materials: sandpapers, finishing
materials and packaging
12. 3. Monitoring inventory during the
production process with the use of
the production forms.
4. Ensuring the optimisation of
machine productivity.
5. Helping solve problems related to
the production process through
communication with marketing.
6. Analysing capacity and resource
requirements and coordinating
necessary adjustments.
7. Ensuring adequate levels of raw
materials, other materials and
production consumables.
8. Providing accurate inventory data
to improve financial management
and ensure compliance with
government regulations, such as
on material traceability.

14. PPIC plays a critical role in smooth production processes. Without proper planning and
control, order fulfilment can get delayed, and this can lead to customer dissatisfaction.
PPIC- Production Planning and Inventory Control
• Adequate supply of raw materials (no under nor over supply)
• Production on time according to schedule
• Optimal use of machines and equipment
• Accurate inventory reports and traceability throughout the production process, which
facilitates compliance with timber legality requirements
• Better collaboration among production, procurement, finance, sales and marketing
• Reduced waste caused by excess inventory and
unnecessary purchases
• More accurate profit and loss calculations

Leftovers (wood waste)
INPUT
MSME
Family-based wood processing factory
Saw dust
Due to continuous production of furniture and building
materials for consumers, workshops tend to produce
large quantities of leftovers (wood off-cuts,
misprocessed wood, excess materials..) lying
around the factory area. Some of these left-overs are
stocked in a roof-covered area to protect it from the
sun and rain. These leftovers will continue to build up
and may use the whole factory area for storage.
Wood waste is an additional income
potential.

17. Waste management – simple steps
1. Reorganise the storage
area:
2. Plan for further use of
waste and consider the
following:
3. Set inventory level by:
4. Sell and market the
recovered products by:
- Drawing up an inventory and calculating the value of leftovers
- Separating and grading the leftovers by species and group sizes’
- Planning storage area based on the leftover’s volume and category.
- Cutting uneven wood shapes to a usable shape/size for inventory
purposes, future use and storage
- Producing other household wooden products/small items with the
waste
- Separating and grade the leftovers by species and group sizes
- Making cost/gain calculations for the conversion/production.
- Materials that are stored first are to be used first
- Setting the storage time limit and making decision to give
leftovers away for free or use them further
- Direct selling in the showroom (if available)
- Selling through concessions to other stores
- Giving the item as gifts or give aways to loyal customers
- Offering the item to other stakeholders to sell in handicraft or
other small product fairs
