Production - Coggle Diagram
Production
the process of creating anything out of parts or raw materials, including the three different types of production and their respective rates of productivity.
Methods
Batch
Advantages: Significantly reducing the production of goods
Reduced price
Increased quality assurance
Much less waste
Disadvantages:It is very difficult to automate.
Pauses between production (employee downtime)
Production can take longer
Batch production is a type of manufacturing where things are produced in predetermined groups or quantities over a certain period.
To create the intended product, a batch may go through several phases in a complicated manufacturing process.
The manufacturer determines the size of the batch and the frequency of production of these batches.
Manufacturers may choose to alter the characteristics from one group of items to the next, resulting in variations between each batch.
Flow
An essential approach for planning production of a certain product is flow production, commonly referred to as mass production. A lot of identical items are produced through flow manufacturing. Because things are produced in a continuous flow from one phase to the next, flow production is so termed.
Advantages
Short lead times: As products move continuously along a flow of automated machinery, flow manufacturing shortens lead times. A short lead time allows for quicker delivery of the goods, increasing customer satisfaction.
Low inventory: Companies may retain less stock with a shorter lead time, which lowers inventory expenses.
Structured material flow: On an assembly line, products are meant to go from one stage to the next.
Disadvantages
Specialized equipment - Flow manufacturing use expensive, specialized equipment that serves a single purpose. As a result, if something malfunctions, it is challenging to replace them.
Considerable setup costs – Installing new manufacturing software or setting up specialized machinery comes at a high expense.
Stoppage danger: If one station fails, the entire assembly line will also halt.
High maintenance expenses – Large, heavy machinery need routine maintenance. Repetitive job - Factory workers who perform the same tasks every day may get demotivated.
Job
Advantages:
-High-quality goods because of concentrated, small-scale manufacture
-Customized goods increase sales and boost customer happiness.
-Greater job satisfaction as a result of workers' strong dedication to the jobs
-More adaptability in comparison to mass production
Disadvantages:
-Greater expense of hiring highly trained personnel
-Production can use a lot of resources and time.
-For intricate goods, specialized machinery are needed.
-Before beginning work, a number of computations or -assessments must be done.
A production that requires a specific job or service, meaning it usually makes a single unique product. An architect designing homes for various families, an artist painting pictures of various people, or an aerospace factory producing cutting-edge rockets and spaceships are a few examples of work production. Only after an order is placed does the manufacture of the provided product begin. Additionally, each order is distinct and must satisfy the client's particular criteria. Job producers are only able to focus on one order at a time. One order is finished before the start of another.
Technology
Automated Production: Thnks to technology, certain products can be produced completely by machinery without the need of workers, making the process way faster and precise.
Standarization: Quality control is made by the machinery, having all of the units be the same by the use of machinery, and with faults, technology can be altered to correct them.
Productivity
The output effectiveness of goods or services, as indicated by some criteria. The ratio of an economic growth to a single input or an overall input used in a manufacturing process. For example, the ratio of profit to time or profit per units.
While production refers to the process of manufacturing, productivity is related to the effectiveness of such process. This means without production, there is no productivity. This also can be related to the employees and how effective they are.
