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.
