The document defines and describes the components of a production system. A production system combines various inputs like materials, labor, machines, and information and transforms them through a process to produce finished goods and services. The key components are facilities, which include the factory, equipment, and layout, and manufacturing support systems, which encompass how work and machines are organized. The aim of a production system is to provide the right products, in the proper quantities, at the needed time and location, and at a reasonable cost.

Production is act
of either
“manufacturing of
goods” or
providing
“services”.
System is an
arrangement or
assembly of inter-
dependent
processes that
are based on
some logic and
function.
The methods,
procedure or
arrangement
which includes all
functions required
to accumulate the
inputs, process or
reprocess the
inputs, and deliver
the marketable
output.

6. Components of a production
system
 There are two components for a production system
 Facilities
 Manufacturing support systems

7. Facilities
The factory and equipment in the facility and the way the
facility is organized (plant layout).
Facilities include the factory, production machines and
tooling, material handling equipment, inspection
equipment, and computer systems that control the
manufacturing operations.
For the facilities, plant layout is a significant factor for the
production system to be efficient.

8. Manufacturing support systems
 Manufacturing systems include the logical groupings
of equipment and workers in the factory. A combination
of a group of workers and machines are termed as
Production line.
 The manufacturing system can be classified as the
following three systems: 1) Manual work systems
2) Worker-machine systems
3) Automated systems

9. Manual work
systems
Worker-machine
systems
Automated
systems
A worker performing one or more tasks without the
aid of powered tools, but sometimes using hand tools.

10. Manual work
systems
Worker-machine
systems
Automated
systems
A worker operating powered equipment.

11. Manual work
systems
Worker-machine
systems
Automated
systems
A process performed by a machine without direct
participation of a human.

12. Manufacturing support systems

13. Aim of production system
The aim of a production system is to provide
goods and services for mankind.
In right quantities
At the appropriate place
At the desired time
With the required quantity
At a reasonable cost

14. Characteristics features of
production system
 Production is an organized activity.
 The system transforms the various inputs into useful
outputs.
 Production system does not operate in isolation from the
other organizational systems.
 There exists a feedback about the activities which is
essential to control and improve
system performance.

15. Challenges in manufacturing
The challenges in manufacturing includes
Changing market conditions – shift from seller’s market to
buyer’s market
Rate of change is faster
Global competition
Need to be proactive
Increased customer focus – the customers are less loyal.

16. Conclusion
Production system is a result of arranging
inputs, their conversion process and output based
on some logic and functions. Production system
fails if any such arrangement made don't give a
desired level of outcome.
