 Production can be defined as the process of
converting inputs into desired output thereby
adding value to some entity.

 Production function brings together people,
machines & materials to provide goods &
services satisfying the wants of people.

 Primary Objective:
To produce goods & services of quality
accepted by customer, in desired quantities,
according to time schedules & at minimum
cost.


 Effectiveness:
Producing right kind of goods & services
that satisfy customers needs.
 Efficiency :
Maximizing output of goods & services
with minimum resource inputs.
 Quality:
Ensuring that goods & services produced
conform to pre-set quality specifications.


 Lead Time:
Minimizing mfg. cycle time by reducing
delays, waiting time and idle time.
 Capacity Utilization:
Maximizing utilization of manpower,
machines and rest of resources.
 Cost:
Minimizing cost of producing goods or
services.


 Planning:
◦ Product selection & design
◦ Process selection & planning
◦ Facility Location
◦ Facility layout and materials handling
◦ Capacity planning
◦ Forecasting
◦ Production Planning


 Organizing
 Work study & job design

 Controlling
◦ Production control
◦ Inventory control
◦ Quality control
◦ Maintenance & replacement
◦ Cost reduction & cost Control


 The factory system was a method
of manufacturing first adopted in England at
the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in
the 1750s and later spread abroad.
 Traditionally, each worker used to create a
separate part of the total assembly of a
product. In factory system all resources of
productions were bring together under one
roof.


Manufacturing system need to interact with both
internal & external environment.

 Internal  External
Environment: Environment:
◦ Engineering ◦ Customers
◦ Marketing ◦ Competitors
◦ Personnel ◦ Suppliers
◦ Accounts/Finance ◦ Labor Unions


 The selection of manufacturing system is a
strategic decision. The system selected
should ensure
◦ Desired output
◦ Required Quality
◦ Cost effectiveness

PRODUCTION PRODUCTION PRODUCTION PRODUCTION PRODUCTION


 Definite beginning and definite end.
 Non uniform requirement of resources
 Involvement of different agencies
 Fixed Position layout
◦ E.g. production of ships, aircrafts, construction of
buildings, bridge etc.
 High cost overruns
◦ Often delays takes place in projects which are very
expensive due to cost of factors of production &
penalties.


 Personnel Problems
◦ If labor are borrowed from outside for short
duration, involvement in project will be limited.
◦ Since project has a limited period, the staff starts
spending more time for getting prepared for next
project.
◦ Generally sites of project are in underdeveloped region &
it may change from project to project which causes
dislocation of the normal life.
 Scheduling & Control
◦ As large number of activities involve in project
completion by different agencies with strict
precedence, scheduling & control becomes complex &
very important.


 Small production runs.
 Discontinuous flow of materials
◦ Imbalance in operation wise work content leads to
discontinuity in materials flow.
 Disproportionate manufacturing cycle time
◦ Lack of materials/components, imbalanced work
flow, design changes, design errors detected during
manufacture, inaccurate work measurements etc
will lead to extended mfg cycle time.
 General purpose machines & process layout.


 Highly skilled labor
 Highly competent knowledgeable supervision
 Large work in progress
 Limited functions of production planning &
control
◦ Materials are indented & purchased on receipt of orders.
◦ Tools control function is simple. Standard tools are
stocked while special tools are either made or purchased
on request.
◦ Process planning activity is almost absent.
◦ The scheduling activity is decentralized. A schedule is
prepared to show the start and completion date of each
major component of the product.


 Short runs
 Skilled labor in specific trades
 Supervisor to possess knowledge of a specific
process.
 General purpose machines & process type
layout.
 Manual material handling
 Mfg cycle time affected due to queues
 Large work in progress
 Flexibility of production schedules
 Need to have production planning & control.


 Continuous flow of materials
 Special purpose machines & product type
layout
 Mechanized materials material handling
 Low skilled labor
 Short manufacturing cycle time
 Easy supervision
 Limited work in progress
 Lesser flexibility in production schedules.


 Process production is characterized by
manufacture of a single product produced
and stocked.
 Special purpose machines with built in
controls
 Highly mechanized materials handling
 Virtually zero manufacturing cycle time
 Low skilled labor
 Supervisor to be process specialist
 Negligible work in progress


 High product variety require highly skilled
labor, general purpose machinery, detailed &
sophisticated production planning & control
systems.
 Low product variety enables the use of low
skilled labor, highly automated mass
production processes using special purpose
machinery and simple production planning &
control systems

 Fixed cost are high for continuous process &
low for intermittent process
 While variable costs are more for intermittent
process & less for continuous process.
 Intermittent process therefore will be cheaper
to install and operate at low volumes &
continuous process will be economical to use
at high volumes.

 Flexibility implies ability of manufacturing
system to manufacture variety of products.
 Greater flexibility will be achieved in
intermittent production which also results in
higher inventories, long mfg lead times &
complex planning & control.


 Efficiency measures the speed and the cost of
manufacturing system.
 Depending on sales volume & product variety
process has to be considered which will give
the best efficiency in terms of machines &
manpower utilization.
 Environment brings new technologies, as
market preferences change the
manufacturing system has to be changed
accordingly. E.g. Furniture manufacturer.
