Chapter 7 Manufacturing Processes Flashcards
the time needed to respond to a customer order
lead time
where inventory is positioned in the supply chain
customer order decoupling point
a production environment where the customer is served “on demand” from finished goods inventory
which positioning inventory in the supply chain is this ?
make to stock
a production environment where preassembled components, subassemblies, and modules are put together in response to a specific customer order
which positioning inventory in the supply chain is this ?
assemble to order
-Primary task is to define a customers order in terms of alternative components and options since it is these components that are carried in inventory, also uses lean manufacturing but to dramatically decrease the time required to assemble finished goods
a production environment where the product is build directly from raw materials and components in response to a specific customer order
which positioning inventory in the supply chain is this ?
make to order
- invest in lean manufacturing in order to achieve higher service levels and is focused on providing finished goods where and when the customers want them
here the firm works with the customer to design the product, which is then made from purchased material, parts, and components
which positioning inventory in the supply chain is this ?
engineer to order
to achieve high customer service with minimum levels of inventory investment
lean manufacturing
the strategic decision of selecting which kind of production processes to use to produce or provide a service
process selection
what are the 5 basic structures of the format by which a facility is arranged
- project layout
- workcenter (job shop)
- manufacturing cell
- assembly line
- continuous process
A setup in which the product remains at one location, and equipment is moved to the product
- High degree of task ordering is common
which strucutre of the format by which a facility is arranged is this ?
project layout
where similar equipment or functions are group together
which strucutre of the format by which a facility is arranged is this ?
workcenter (job shop)
groups dissimilar machines to work on products that have similar shapes and processing requirements
- These cells are typically scheduled to produce “as needed” in response to current customer demand
which strucutre of the format by which a facility is arranged is this ?
manufacturing cell
a setup in which an item is produced through a fixed sequence of workstations, designed to achieve a specific production rate
- Stations - areas the assembly line steps are done
which strucutre of the format by which a facility is arranged is this ?
assembly line
a process that converts raw materials into finished product in one continuous process
which strucutre of the format by which a facility is arranged is this ?
continuous process
a framework depicting when the different production process types are typically used, depending on product volume and how standardized the product is
product process matrix
less specialized equipment
general purpose
more specialized equipment
special purpose
a method to evaluate the specific processes that raw materials, parts, and subassemblies follow as they move through the plant
manufacturing process flow design
- assembly drawing
- assembly chart
- operation and route sheet
- process flowchart
most common production management tools used in planning and designing the process flow
Informed by competitive priorities, managing capacity involves planning (long
term) and constraints (short term). Capacity measures inputs or outputs per time
period
capacity planning
higher utilization can lower cost but
increase risk and lead times
diseconomies of scale can drive units costs
up
- aggressive capacity expansion strategies are used in ____ growth markets
- wait and see strategies are used in ____ growht marker
- higher
- slower
