The document discusses production management and control. It describes the key inputs, processes, and outputs involved in integrated production management. This includes procuring materials, transforming materials, training workers, implementing production procedures, maintaining inventories and machines, ensuring quality, and packaging/distributing products. Production management starts with aggregate planning to meet targets for raw materials, machines, workforce, storage, and policy options. Production planning involves estimating requirements, determining operation sequences (routing), and setting job priorities and completion times (scheduling). Production control focuses on dispatching work and expediting to ensure smooth workflow and timely completion. Quality control tools like flow charts, Pareto diagrams, cause-and-effect diagrams, control charts, and histograms are used to improve

2. Integrated Production Management
The set of interrelated management activities, which are involves in
manufacturing certain products, is called as production management.
 Procuring the materials.
 Moving the material for transformation.
 Training and deploying the force.
 Implementing the procedures for systematic loading of machines.
 Maintaining the inventories.
 Maintaining the machines.
 Establishing the methods of inspection to ensure the quality.
 Packaging the products for safe distribution and dispatch.

3. Production Management and Production Control
Production management starts with aggregate planning. In
aggregate planning all inputs are required to meet the targets, such
as raw materials, no. of machines, work force, storage capacity and
policy options like sub contracting, overtime, hiring and laying off
workers.

Matching
Demand
Level Capacity
In matching method, the
production capacity is
adjusted to match the
forecast demand by
varying the level of the
workforce by hiring or
laying off.
In the level capacity method,
the production capacity is held
constant at an optimum
level.The varying demands are
met by maintaining the
inventory, backlog, overtime or
subcontracting

4. Production Management and Production Control
The functions of production planning are broadly classified into three:
Estimating
• Estimating involves identifying the manpower
requirements, machine capacity , and materials required
to meet the planned targets.
Routing
• Routing is the process of determining the sequence of
operations.
Scheduling
• Scheduling fixes the priorities for various job and is mainly
concerned with the completion of the job at pre-set times.

5. Production Management and Production Control
The functions of production control are dispatching and expediting

Dispatching Expediting
Dispatching is concerned
with setting production
activities in motion. The
production activities
include issuing material,
release orders, and
moving materials from
work centre to work
centre.
Expediting function ensures
that the progress is satisfactory
and the path of the production
process is cleared of
constraints and the workflow
is smooth.

6. CapitalProductivity
Capital deployed in plant, machinery, buildings and the distribution
systems as well as working capital are the components of the cost of
manufacturing. Demand fluctuations, uncertainties of production
owing to breakdown and inventories being created drag the
productivity down. The strategies included are:
 Outsourcing Strategies – Lack of expertise, Quality considerations,
Nature of demand, Cost.
 Quality Circles - Kaoru Ishikawa is the originator of fishbone diagrams to
identify the root causes of any problem.
 Methods Improvement - This process is to find out how the job is done
& breaking it down to the elemental task so that they are amenable for
analysis.
 Balancing of Workstations
 Rationalization of Packaging Methods

7. Capital Productivity
Quality Circle Tools –Kaoru Ishikawa mentioned that the bulk of the
quality related problems can be solved by using seven quality control
tools, which include
Flow Charts -
 Pareto Diagrams
Cause and effect Diagrams
Control Charts
Scatter Diagram
Check Sheet
 Histogram

8. Capital Productivity
Quality Circle Tools – Ishikawa diagram also called fishbone
diagram, Cause & effect diagram, used for product design and quality
defect prevention, to identify potential factor causing an overall effect.
