AIS 7 Flashcards
Transforms input resources, raw materials, labor, and overhead into finished products or services for sale
The Conversion Cycle
the production system
Physical activities
the cost accounting system
Information activities
Involves the planning, scheduling, and control of the physical product through the manufacturing process
Production System
creates a homogeneous product through a continuous series of standard procedures.
Continuous Processing
produces discrete groups (batches) of products.
Batch Processing
involves the fabrication of discrete products in accordance with customer specifications.
Make-to-Order Processing
Materials and operations requirements
Production scheduling
Production Planning and Control
the difference between what is needed and what is available in inventory
Materials requirement
the assembly and/or manufacturing activities to be applied to the product
Operations requirements
Coordinates the production of multiple batches
Influenced by time constraints, batch size, and other specifications
Production Scheduling
Production operations begin when work centers obtain raw materials from storekeeping.
It ends with the completed product being sent to the finished goods (FG) warehouse .
Work Centers and Storekeeping
minimize total inventory cost while ensuring that adequate inventories exist of production demand
Provides production planning and control with status of finished goods and raw materials inventory
Continually updates the raw material inventory during production process
Upon completion of production, updates finished goods inventory
Inventory Control
Very simple too use, but assumptions are not always valid
-demand is known and constant
-ordering lead time is known and constant
-total cost per year of placing orders decreases as the order quantities increase
-carrying costs of inventory increases as quantity of orders increases
-no quantity discounts
EOQ Inventory Model
expected demand for the finished goods
Sales Forecast
production plan and authorization to produce
Production Schedule
specifies the types and quantities of the raw materials and subassemblies used to produce a single finished good unit
Bill of Materials (BOM)
details the production path a particular batch will take in the manufacturing process
sequence of operations
time allotted at each station
Route Sheet
uses the BOM and route sheet to specify the exact materials and production processes for each batch
Work Order
records work done in each work center and authorizes the movement of the batch
Move Ticket
authorizes the inventory warehouse to release raw materials for use in the production process
Materials Requisition
Records the financial effects of the events occurring in the production process
Initiated by the work order
Cost accounting clerk creates a new cost record for the batch and files in WIP file
The records are updated as materials and labor are used
Cost Accounting System
reflect a legitimate need based on sales forecast and the finished goods on hand
work orders
signatures from each work station authorize the movement of the batch through the work centers
move tickets
authorize the warehouse to release materials to the work centers
materials requisitions
