CHAPTER 7: MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
1. Production Processes
Type of manufacturing firms
Assemble-to-order
Make-to-order
Make-to-stock
Engineer-to-order
Lean manufacturing
- a means of achieving high levels of customer service with minimal inventory investment.
Customer order decoupling point
- where inventory is positioned to allow entities in the supply chain to operate independently.
Lead time
- the time needed to respond to a customer order
Positioning Inventory in Supply Chain
is Raw materials -> Components -> Semi Finished -> Finished
Production Processes
Step 2
- Make the product
Step 3
- Deliver the product
Step 1
- Source the parts needed
2. Organizing Manufacturing Processes
Definition
Manufacturing cell:
a dedicated area where products that are similar in processing requirements are produced
Assembly line
: work processes are arranged according to the progressive steps by which the product is made
Workcenter (job shop)
: similar equipment or functions are grouped together
Continuous process
: assembly line only the flow is continuous such as with liquids
Project
: the product remains in a fixed location Manufacturing equipment is moved to the product.
Product System Design
Workcenter
Most common approach to developing this type of layout is to arrange workcenters in a way that optimizes the movement of material.
Optimal placement often means placing workcenters with large interdepartmental traffic adjacent to each other.
as a department and is focused on a particular type of operation.
Manufacturing Cell
Designed for the special purpose of building a product by going through a series of progressive steps
Project Layout
A high degree of task ordering is common.
A project layout may be developed by arranging materials according to their assembly priority.
The product remains in a fixed location.
Assembly Line and Continuous Layout
Designed for the special purpose of building a product by going through a series of progressive steps
