Product Data Management
This is the way of controlling the data
that associated to the particular products. Each data are usually the
industrial specifications of the product, the used of data management
allows a company to trail the various cost with association of a
product. The product data management is focus is on organization and
tracking the creation, vary and achieve of all information that based
on the product. The information being stored and manage will include
engineering data such as computer-aided design (CAD) models, drawings
and their associated documents.
Product data management is also serves
as a middle awareness store for procedure and product history, and
promotes assimilation and data exchange among all business users who
interact with products — including project managers, engineers,
sales people, buyers, and quality assurance teams that used this
system. It will have the information on the data by
* Part number
* Part description
* Supplier/vendor
* Vendor part number and
description
* Unit of measure
* Cost/price
* Material data sheets
To track and manage all changes to the
product that accelerate return on the investment with easy setup by
the data management system it could spend less organizing and
tracking design of data. It also a subset of a larger concept of
product life cycle management .encompasses the processes needed to
launch new products
Shop Floor Management Solution
The shop floor management is a solution
provides comprehensive, real-time management of shop floor
activities. The foundation of a shop floor management solution is the
database, which manages information captured from a range of devices,
such as bar code scanners, test equipment, operators PC’s, and
equipment using PLC communication and monitoring. With relentless
overseas competition and continued economic pressure, many mid-market
and smaller companies are seeking shop floor management solutions to
improve customer satisfaction, reduce scrap and rework, and
streamline processes for efficiency.
Customer satisfaction – A shop floor
management solution can increase customer satisfaction by predicting
task completion to ensure on time delivery performance, improve
support operations leading to customer delivery, such as
transportation and logistics and accurate billing, and enable
companies to respond quickly to different tracking and reporting
requirements.
The shop floor management solution
monitor can pull real-time information on defects per inspections and
first pass yields, analyze quality control performance against
standards, and display progress goals for defect minimization and
other production metrics. A shop floor management system that
integrates with maintenance applications and inventory management
applications will support efficient scheduling of maintenance and
downtime and better control of work in process inventory. It also has
the potential to provide better visibility and timely information to
assist shop floor supervisors manage their production
responsibilities, track employee productivity, assess adherence to
defined production processes, and allow managers to take steps to
increase process maturity level. Develop shop floor management
solution that could track and present dashboards in real time for
defects per millions of inspections, first pass yields, and model
costs for non-conformance.
Quality Management System (QMS)
A quality management system (QMS) can
be expressed as the organizational structure, procedures, processes
and resources needed to implement quality management. Early systems
emphasized predictable outcomes of an industrial product production
line, using simple statistics and random sampling. By the labor
inputs were typically the most costly inputs in most industrialized
societies, so focus shifted to team cooperation and dynamics,
especially the early signaling of problems via a continuous
improvement cycle. In the Quality Management System has tended to
converge with sustainability and transparency initiatives, as both
investor and customer satisfaction and perceived quality is
increasingly tied to these factors. We have a elements of a Quality
Management System that well lead us for the perfectly of
understanding of QMS those are the. Organizational structure,
Responsibilities, Data Management, Processes - including purchasing,
Resources - including natural resources and human capital, Customer
Satisfaction, Continuous Improvement, Product Quality, Maintenance,
Sustainability - including efficient resource use and responsible
environmental operations and the last one is Transparency and
independent audit.
This natural Step, focus on
sustainability issues and assume that other quality problems will be
reduced as result of the systematic thinking, transparency,
documentation and diagnostic discipline that sustainability focus
implies. See sustainability for more on this approach to quality
management.
Advanced planning
Advanced planning and scheduling also
referred to as APS and advanced manufacturing it refers to a
manufacturing management process by which raw materials and
production capacity are optimally allocated to meet demand. APS is
especially well-suited to environments where simpler planning methods
cannot adequately address complex trade-offs between competing
priorities. Production scheduling is intrinsically very difficult due
to the about factorial dependence of the size of the solution space
on the number of items/products to be manufactured.
Traditional planning and scheduling
systems is such as Manufacturing resource planning that utilize a
stepwise procedure to allocate material and production capacity. This
approach is simple but unwieldy, and does not readily adapt to
changes in demand, resource capacity or material availability.
Materials and capacity are planned separately, and many systems do
not consider limited material availability or capacity constraints.
Thus, this approach often results in plans that cannot be executed.
However, in spite of attempts to shift to the new system, attempts
have not always been successful, which has called for the combination
of management philosophy with manufacturing system.
Unlike previous systems, APS
simultaneously plans and schedules production based on available
materials, labor and plant capacity. APS has commonly been applied
where one or more of the following conditions are present:
Make-To-Order (as distinct from
make-to-stock) manufacturing
capital-intensive production
processes, where plant capacity is constrained
products 'competing' for plant
capacity: where many different products are produced in each
facility
Products that require a large
number of components or manufacturing tasks
production necessitates frequent
schedule changes which cannot be predicted before the event
Advanced Planning & Scheduling
software enables manufacturing scheduling and advanced scheduling
optimization within these environments.
Cost Accounting Management
Cost accounting information is commonly
used in financial accounting information, but first we are
concentrating in its use by managers to take decisions. This is to
calculate everything on the company the products and their
transaction of the capital between the costs. It can be important
sources of information for the managers of a company. For this
reason, the managers understand the forces and weaknesses of the cost
accounting systems, and participate in the evaluation and evolution
of the cost measurement and administration systems. Unlike the
accounting systems that help in the preparation of financial reports
periodically, the cost accounting systems and reports are not subject
to rules and standards like the Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. As a result, there is a wide variety in the cost
accounting systems of the different companies and sometimes even in
different parts of the same company or organization. Cost accounting
is regarded as the process of collecting, analyzing, summarizing and
evaluating various alternative courses of action involving costs and
advising the management on the most appropriate course of action
based on the cost efficiency and capability of the management. Cost
accounting is intended for managers, given that managers are
captivating decisions only for their own organization, there is no
need for the information to be similar to similar information from
other organizations. Instead, the important criterion is that the
information must be relevant for decisions that managers operating in
a particular environment of business including strategy make. The
accountants who handle the cost accounting information add value by
providing good information to managers who are taking decisions.
Among the better decisions, the better performance of one's
organization, regardless if it is a manufacturing company, a bank, a
non-profit organization, a government agency, a school club or even a
business school. The cost-accounting system is the result of
decisions made by managers of an organization and the environment in
which they make them.
Then organizations and managers are
most of the times interested in and worried for the costs. The
control of the costs of the past, present and future is part of the
job of all the managers in a company. In the companies that try to
have profits, the control of costs affects directly to them. Knowing
the costs of the products is essential for decision-making regarding
price and mix assignation of products and services.
