  2. Manufacturing bill of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Manufacturing_bill_of_materials

    The "recipe procedure" explains the steps to make the end product. The "equipment requirements" describes the machines and tools that are necessary to make the product. [1] In ISA-95 terms, the MBOM will refer to the "material specification" in the "product definition model". [2] An MBOM is not the same as "as manufactured" or "as built".

  3. Interchangeable parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchangeable_parts

    The Congress was captivated and ordered a standard for all United States equipment. The use of interchangeable parts removed the problems of earlier eras concerning the difficulty or impossibility of producing new parts for old equipment. If one firearm part failed, another could be ordered, and the firearm would not need to be discarded.

  4. Manufacturing engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_engineering

    Manufacturing engineers develop and create physical artifacts, production processes, and technology. It is a very broad area which includes the design and development of products. Manufacturing engineering is considered to be a subdiscipline of industrial engineering/systems engineering and has very strong overlaps with mechanical engineering ...

  5. Material requirements planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_requirements_planning

    Material requirements planning (MRP) is a production planning, scheduling, and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes. Most MRP systems are software-based, but it is possible to conduct MRP by hand as well. An MRP system is intended to simultaneously meet three objectives:

  6. Materials management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materials_management

    Material deliveries from the supplier to the construction site can be tracked using various tools. [6] For example, project freight forwards will typically have precise information on containers and deliveries sent to the construction site, but typically their systems lack insight into the specific materials and components within those deliveries.

  7. Inventory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventory

    While the reasons for holding stock were covered earlier, most manufacturing organizations usually divide their "goods for sale" inventory into: Raw materials: Materials and components scheduled for use in making a product. Work in process (WIP): Materials and components that have begun their transformation to finished goods. These are used in ...

  8. Manufacturing resource planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_resource...

    Manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) [1] is a method for the effective planning of all resources of a manufacturing company. Ideally, it addresses operational planning in units, financial planning, and has a simulation capability to answer "what-if" questions and is an extension of closed-loop MRP (Material Requirements Planning). [2]

  9. Material-handling equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material-handling_equipment

    If materials are self-restraining (e.g., a single part or interlocking parts), then they can be formed into a unit load with no equipment. Examples of unit load formation equipment include pallets, skids, slipsheets, tote pans, bins/baskets, cartons, bags, and crates.
