Production Unit
Statement of Mission- A mission is a goal or an objective. Missions are assigned to organization.
Statement of Function- A function refers to major areas of work that are being or will be done, in
order that a mission will be accomplished
Statement of Operations-An operation is work that is a part or component of a function. Operations
are doing things which together make up a function
Types of Layout
1.) Fixed Position -Hold the chief materials in one place and bring men and machines to it. This
layout is generally most economical when the product is physically large and heavy.
2.) Process Layout -It is economical when the process or nature of the operations is relatively
complex or costly. The product or materials are diversified or variable.
3.) Product Layout -When the quantity is large, the process is fairly simple and the product or
materials are relatively standardized, constant and not too large.

and plans of work can be more accurate.
Steps in Production Control
1. Scheduling-Setting up of timetables that will govern the movement of the work as it is subjected to
the various fabricating processes.
2. Dispatching-Issuance of orders in terms of their priority and includes the assignment of work to
the operators of their machines.

through the shop, where and by whom the processing shall be done.

Production Management
Production Manager- Production managers make sure manufacturing processes run smoothly and
cost-effectively, and deliver products on time
The production manager should concern himself with the ways and means of controlling production
activity to be able to attain the goals the unit has set to accomplish.
The production manager should also concern himself with the plant layout and material handling.
The production manager should concern himself with is inventory control which includes schedule of
production, production costs such as set up costs, direct material cost, direct labor costs, overtime
and shift premium costs, hiring, training and layoff costs, depreciation costs, lost orders, taxes
interest, storage, handling and price changes, procurement of raw materials, purchase of components
part and finished goods.
The production manager is the determination of time requirements commonly referred to as work
measurement.
The production manager is concerned with incentives.
I. Production System -The methods, procedure or arrangement which includes all functions
required to accumulate (gather) the inputs, process or reprocess the inputs, and deliver the
marketable output (goods)."Production system utilizes materials, funds, infrastructure, and
labour to produce the required output in form of goods.
Types of Subsystem in the Production Systems
1. The Physical system which acts in the transformation of inputs.
2. The Information System
Characters of production System
1.Material transportation process
2.Degree of repetitiveness
3. Information system
4. A material flow process
II. Kinds of Production System -Basic Types of Production Processes Intermittent Production
System Production is performed on a start-and-stop basis, such as for the manufacture of made-to-
order products. Done to produce small volume and high diversity products. Mass Production A
special type of intermittent production process using standardized methods and single-use machines
to produce long runs of standardized items. Usually used to produce small volume and low diversity
products.
Project Process Different employs and machineries are employed to produce perform a specified task
or project.
A production operation is the flow of materials is through one or more steps of a process. The
Basic elements of a production operation are :
1. Product Design
2. Process design
3. Material Flow
Two types of Decision
4. 1.Short run
5. 2. Long run
Production Models is to predict some facets of the performance of a production system that can be
really Helpful.
PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL The principle of production planning and control lies in
the statement First Plan Your Work and then Work on Your Plan.
Planning is deciding in advance what to do, how to do it, when to do it and who is to do it.
1. A master Schedule
a. the capacityof the plant by department or machine center
b. Capacity requiremennts for each job.
c. The priority of each job.
2. Plan of work
a. Steps in the process
b. Estimated time for each steps
c. Materials and equipments to be used
d. Utilization of equipments
3.Schedule
a. Capacity of the plant,machine group and departments
b. existing Jobs in process
c. Priority of existing job in process
d. Availability of materials
e. The plan of work
f. provision of report progress
4. Orderly Dispatching
is concerned with the starting the processes. It gives necessary authority so as to start a particular
work, which has already been planned under Routing and Scheduling. The function of follow-up
is to report daily the progress of work in each shop in a prescribed proforma and to investigate the
causes of deviations from the planned performance.
5. Records
a. Corrective actions can be taken quickly
b. Cost can be accurately determined and compared with estimates and for pricing.
c. Failure cost estimates and plans of work can be more accurate.
Although you may not want to share your personal objectives, they should be known and
understood by all.
Management by objectives is an approach to communicating goals that has gained popularity in
recent years.
Identify Assumptions
Certain assumptions underlie all plans of action. These are often called premises
Survey Resources
There may be resource limitations in time, money, work space, number of employees, type of
employees, staff assistance, material resources etc. Remember that often what is seen as a
limitation can become excuses.
At times, it becomes obvious that there are simply not enough resources available to achieve a
certain goal.
Check on Policy
Most policies are established to avoid repeating a trial and error process which has already
indicated one best way to do something. Generally, they reflect careful study or extensive
experience.
Develop Alternative Plans
If there is only one possible course of action, planning is not necessary. The possibility for
alternative decisions makes planning necessary and challenging.
Planning is really a series of decisions.
Developing and considering alternatives can cause regrets later when the method not chosen
might have worked out better in the long run.
Compare Alternative Plans
When you have identified all possible alternative methods of reaching a goal you should begin
to evaluate each alternative in terms of cost, availability and expected results.
Finalize the Choice
Whenever you decide not to decide, you make the worst possible decision.
When you have identified a method that meets all the requirements and conforms to all
limitations that will achieve your goal efficiently and effectively, you will realize that the process
of eliminating alternatives has made the decision for you.
Develop New Procedures and Rules
Procedures and rules establish step by step guides for action within a general policy
framework.
Established procedures can be viewed as a sequence of steps that must be taken in order to
accomplish some stated objectives
3 stages of production tasks
Make-ready stage
Doing stage
Put-away stage
Work in Process
Supervisors Responsibility In Controlling WIP (Work In Process)
1. It is the supervisors responsibility to control each WIP at minimum level
2. It is the supervisors responsibility to make remedial measures in order to trim down WIP.
3. IT is the supervisors responsibility to cut down all cost related to WIP, eg,. Taxes, Insurance,
Storage, Spoil, Age, Interest, and maintenances.
4. It is the supervisors responsibility to make the WIP flow smoothly.
5. It is the supervisors responsibility to avoid delay of all goods in process because this will cause
tremendous problem with respect to the operation through each final destination
Work In Process Control
Benefits
a. Reduction of manufacturing cost.
1. Increasing the utilization of labor and facilities through elimination of idle time caused by
shortage of goods to be issued
2. Promote steady production at high output by maintaining rapid processing.
3. Minimizing the needs of overtime and rush orders.
