MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

MANUFACTURING SYSTEM

The manufacturing system is the method of organizing production. Many types of manufacturing systems are in place, including assembly lines, batch production and computer-integrated manufacturing. This system is for the nature and resources for the considerable variations that occurs the cross nationally levels for the manufacturing and for the wider industrial- economic growth, competitiveness and attractiveness for the foreign direct.

PRODUCT DATA MANAGEMENT

The Product data management is the use of software or other tools to track and control the data related to a particular product. The data tracked it usually involves the technical specifications of the product, specifications for manufacture and development, and the types of materials that will be required to produce goods. The use of product data management allows a company to track the various costs associated with the creation and launch of a product. Product data management is part of product life cycle management, and is primarily used by engineers. It will serves as a central knowledge repository for process and product history, and promotes integration and data exchange among all business users who interact with products — including project managers, engineers, sales people, buyers, and quality assurance teams.

SHOP FLOOR MANAGEMENT 

    The Shop Floor Management Systems have been becoming increasingly in more affordable as more manufactures begin to implement these systems.  They are quickly becoming more of a necessity than an option.  Many small and medium sized manufacturers are beginning to explore the feasibility of using such systems.  Once they begin to understand how these systems work they begin doing the preliminary preparation work and process modifications necessary to economically and efficiently implement this technology. 

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The Quality Management has a specific meaning within many business sectors. This specific definition, which does not aim to assure 'good quality' by the more general definition, but rather to ensure that an organization or product is consistent, can be considered to have four main components: quality planning, quality control, quality assurance and quality improvement. Quality management is focused not only on product/service quality, but also the means to achieve it. Quality management therefore uses quality assurance and control of processes as well as products to achieve more consistent quality.

Advanced Planning Systems

            The Advanced Planning Systems are strongly related to the concept of Supply Chain Management that focuses on the system-wide optimization of production and logistics. They extend the capabilities of the widely used Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems which provide only very limited planning support. Traditional planning and scheduling systems (such as MRP, or manufacturing resource planning) apply a successive planning procedure that is easy to understand but that neglects capacities and usually does not produce feasible plans. For a practical planner it is often not clear, what these APS really do, as the specific type of planning model and the solution algorithm used to solve a practical problem in general are not transparent. This site provides more information about planning problems that are currently supported or should be supported by Advanced Planning Systems. However, the scope of this site is not limited to APS.

COST ACCOUNTING

The 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. The 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.
