ABSTRACT
Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) represents a huge step to
link product design with production electronically, in order to improve
information quality and reduce time-to-market. Process of defining and
managing the manufacturing processes used to fabricate parts,
assemble final products, and perform inspection. The greatest benefit
from MPM can be seen in improved production efficiencies derived
from more tightly designed and managed production systems. New or
modified product launch times have been reduced by 25 to 50%
primarily due to the availability of instant information, and to the
benefits of editing existing similar processes, rather than re-engineering
from scratch as is often done. More importantly, MPM applications
provide the analytical and data management abilities necessary for
companies to move to mixed-model production systems in an effort to
reduce work-in-progress (WIP) and finished goods inventory, and to
improve overall product quality and production responsiveness.
INTRODUCTION
Importance of MPM are improved access, management, and accuracy
of production engineering information for applications such as MES,
CONRIBUTION TO COMMUNITY
Companies rely on computers use Microsoft Excel spreadsheets stored
on local computers, lacking integration to other systems. Most of these
spreadsheets are sophisticated, involve hundreds of hours of
development time by process engineers, and require considerable
regular maintenance. The most common workflow for passing product
design information to production planning relied on paper forms of
independent spreadsheets with the information manually entered into
the production-planning (MRP/ERP/MES).
This manual process has led to process-time delays as well as to
inconsistencies in the detailed information, especially as it relates to
model-mix and optional-work content.Computerized MPM systems can
solve these problems.
CHALLENGES IN AREA
One of the greatest difficulties faced by companies is the need to stay
ahead of the competition. As with many other industries, the market is
highly competitive, leaving businesses desperately looking for a point of
difference.This comes at a time when customer demands are growing people are expecting more for their money, as well as top quality
customer service to match.Process manufacturers need to delicately
balance the need to provide a great service with cost controls. Spend
too much and the bottom line will be affected, invest too little and
quality could be jeopardised. Quality control must be at the centre of
everything a process manufacturer does, but strict environmental and
safety standards may mean this isn't easy.Every stage of the process is
subject to heavy scrutiny, so companies need a means of gaining a
complete overview of their operations that enables them to meet all
the necessary regulations.

RESEARCH GAPS
There are four key areas where companies can typically improve their
MPM process.
1. Define the Manufacturing Process During the Product Design Phase.
Generally, designers throw the design over the wall to manufacturing
engineers. However, if manufacturing engineers have direct access to
the ever-evolving design information, they can define the
manufacturing process in parallel with product design. Furthermore,
with this information, manufacturing becomes better equipped to
handle concurrent product development and is able to adapt to inprocess engineering changes.
2. Provide Manufacturing Engineers with Access to Engineering Data.
Accurate manufacturing process definition requires that manufacturing
engineers be able to directly reuse engineering data, including parts,
classification, 3D mockups, and manufacturing requirements, such as
GD&T information. Yet, typically, manufacturing engineers lack direct
access to this information.
3. Eliminate Manual Processes. Today, most process plans are defined
using a spreadsheet program, and work instructions are created using a
word processor. This use of manual tools leads to a variety of issues:
slow execution of the process, data duplication and inaccuracy, and
CONCLUSION
An automated and optimized MPM process not only requires superior
technology, it also requires companies to streamline their day-to-day
processes. Just as important, companies need to ensure that everyone
across the organization understands and adopts the new processes and
technology.
Various capabilities of MPM
Process plans which allow the definition of plant-specific processes
with alternate and parallel sequences of operations.
and sub-operations
Ability to completely define process plan operations with parts,
resources, standard procedure, documents, and time breakdown
Ability to manage resource libraries (Plant, Work Center, Tooling,
Process Materials, Skills)
Ability to manage manufacturing capability libraries composed of
standard procedures and standard process plans
