This document outlines a lecture on production management. It introduces topics like production planning and control, material handling, productivity, quality circles, and training. Productivity is measured through ratios of outputs to inputs and includes capital, labor, and personnel productivity. Quality circles originate from the work of Kaoru Ishikawa and use fishbone diagrams. The objectives of the lecture are to define key production management terms and concepts.
Just-in-time means, for example, that in the process of assembling the parts to build a car, the necessary kind of sub-assemblies of the preceding processes should arrive at the product line at the time needed in the necessary quantities. It is a management philosophy that strives to eliminate sources of manufacturing waste by producing the right part in the right place at the right time.

Material control & Material handling:
• Material control is a management function whereby procurement,
storage, and issuance of the storage material for purposes of
manufacturing the products or consumption are conducted
• Material handling refers movement of materials.

Productivity
Productivity is generally expressed as the ratio of outputs to inputs. It is a
measure of the efficiency of the system and looks at the economies
achieved during the processes.
Capital Productivity
Labour Productivity
Personnel Productivity

Types of Productivity
Capital Productivity
• takes account of inputs of machines or land.
• Strategies needed to maximize the utilization of funds allotted
towards are:
Outsourcing strategies
Methods improvement

Types of Productivity
Labour Productivity:
• It takes account of inputs of employee hours worked
• It is measured by calculating the number of products per hour for an
individual.
Measurement of time required for any task is measured using
Motion Study and Work Measurement methods.

Types of Productivity
Personnel Productivity:
Personnel are the ones who:
• Facilitates the operations
• Coordinates between various operations in identifying the jobs that
have to be done
• Checks the set ups
• Verifies that proper jigs and fixtures are provided
• Inspects allocated machines

Training
• Jobs need to be performed efficiently.
• For efficient job completion, person should be evaluated for
Knowledge level, skill level and behavioral aspect.
• Any shortfall in the above is corrected by the process of training.

Summary
• Production operations involve conversion of materials into saleable
products.
• Getting maximum productivity depends on the utilization of machines
most efficiently with well trained and motivated workforce.
• Transferring of materials inside the operations area also has to be
optimized for efficiency.
• Job descriptions are important to select, train and deploy personnel.

Editor's Notes
Production Management involves the identification of the requisite materials, knowledge of the processes, and installation of equipments necessary to convert or transform the materials to products. In aggregate planning, all inputs that are required to meet the targets, such as, machinery, raw materials, sub-contracting, number of machines and their types, work force, storage space, facilities for movement and storage are considered.
Estimating involves estimating the manpower requirements, machine capacity and materials required to meet the planned production targets Routing is the process of determining the sequence of operations Scheduling fixes priorities for various jobs and is mainly concerned with completion of jobs at pre-set times Dispatching is concerned with setting production activities in motion Expediting function ensures that the progress, the path of the production process is cleared of constraints and the workflow is smooth
Material control involves: Formulating the policies regarding selection of suppliers Determining the quantities to be ordered Fixing prices Formulating the terms of delivery
Productivity can be calculated for a: Single operation Functional unit Department or division Plant
Motion Study is an analysis of a specific job in an effort to find the most efficient method in terms of time and effort. Work Measurement is the use of accurate observation and recording to determine the time it would take for a qualified worker to complete a specific job to a required level of performance
A Quality Circle is composed of a small group of employees who genuinely care about others, and who preferably does similar work, that is: Meeting voluntarily with a leader on a regular basis Identifying the problems Analysing the causes Recommending their solutions to management Implementing solutions, wherever possible
The purpose of training is to enhance performance so that the overall objective of achieving desired productivity is achieved.
