Q

production planning

A

Process to develop tactical plans based on setting the overall level of manufacturing output and other activities to best satisfy current planned sales levels while meeting general business objectives (profitability, productivity, etc)

22
Q

productive capacity

A

In the Theory of Constraints – the maximum output capability of a resource (or series of resources). Or the market demand for that output for a given time period

23
Q

productivity

A

Overall measure of the ability to produce a good or a service. Actual output of production compared to actual input of materials

24
Q

product layout

A

Layout of resources arranged sequentially based on the product’s routing

25
Q

product life cycle (3 definitions)

A

1) Stages a new product goes through from beginning to end
2) Time from initial research and development to time when sales and support to customers is withdrawn
3) period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably

26
Q

profit margin

A

The difference between the sales and Cost of goods sold (COGS) for an organization, sometimes expressed as a percentage of sales

27
Q

protective capacity

A

The resource capacity needed to protect the system throughput-ensuring that some capacity above capacity req’d to exploit the constraint is available to catch up when disruptions inevitably occur

28
Q

protective inventory

A

In the Theory of constraints (TOC) the amount of inventory required relative to the protective capacity in the system to achieve a specific throughput rate at the constraint

29
Q

pull system

A

The withdrawal of inventory as demanded by the using operations. Material is not issued until a signal comes from the user

30
Q

purchase requisition

A

An authorization to the purchasing department to purchase specified materials in specific quantities within a specified time

31
Q

push system

A

A system for replenishing field warehouse inventories where replenishment decision making is centralized, usually at the manufacturing site or central supply facility

32
Q

quality costs

A

Overall costs associated with prevention activities and improvement before, during and after production of a product

33
Q

quality function deployment (QFD)

A

Methodology designed to ensure all major customer requirements are identified and then met or exceeded

34
Q

random-location storage

A

A storage technique in which parts are placed in any space that is empty when they arrive at the storeroom

35
Q

rated capacity

A

Expected output capability of a resource or item. Rated capacity = hours available X efficiency X utilization

36
Q

remanufacturing

A

Industrial process in which worn-out products are restored to like-new condition

37
Q

repetitive flow manufacturing

A

Assembly line that assembles discrete units (ie automobiles) at a constant rate without delays. Machinery is dedicated to limited range of products. Capital intensive. Require high volumes of production

38
Q

replenishment led time

A

Total period of time from when it is decided an product should be reordered until product is back on the shelf and available for use

39
Q

requirements explosion

A

The process of calculating the demand for the components of a parent item by multiplying the parent item requirements by the component usage quantity specified in the BOM

40
Q

resource planning

A

Capacity planning conducted at the business plan level. The process of establishing, measuring, and adjusting limits or levels of long range capacity.

41
Q

reverse auction

A

Thumtack

Internet auction where suppliers attempt to underbid their competitors. Company identities known only by the buyer

42
Q

reverse logistics

A

Complete supply chain dedicated to the return, repair, remanufacturing, or recycling of products/materials

43
Q

A

The process of converting the MPS into requirements for key resources, including labor, machinery, warehouse space, suppliers’ capacity, and money
