Additionally, the system design also assumes that this "lead time" in manufacturing will be the same each time the item is made, without regard to quantity being made, or other items being made simultaneously in the factory, or any "learning curve" reductions in lead time. A manufacturer may have factories in different cities or even countries.
The lead time shows the amount of elapsed time from a chunk of work or story entering the backlog, to the end of the iteration or release. [13] A smaller lead time means that the process is more effective and the project team is more productive. [13] Lead time is also the saved time by starting an activity before its predecessor is completed.
A copy of the AAI (Appearance Approval Inspection) form signed by the customer. Applicable for components affecting appearance only. Sample Production Parts A sample from the same lot of initial production run. The PPAP package usually shows a picture of the sample and where it is kept (customer or supplier). Master Sample
The manufacturing readiness level (MRL) is a measure to assess the maturity of manufacturing readiness, similar to how technology readiness levels (TRL) are used for technology readiness. They can be used in general industry assessments, [ 1 ] or for more specific application in assessing capabilities of possible suppliers.
Manufacturing process management (MPM) is a collection of technologies and methods used to define how products are to be manufactured. MPM differs from ERP/MRP which is used to plan the ordering of materials and other resources, set manufacturing schedules, and compile cost data.
A master production schedule (MPS) is a plan for individual commodities to be produced in each time period such as production, staffing, inventory, etc. [1] It is usually linked to manufacturing where the plan indicates when and how much of each product will be demanded. [2]
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).
Delivery lead time is the blue bar, manufacturing time is the whole bar, the green bar is the difference between the two. Another possible classification [39] is one based on lead time (manufacturing lead time vs delivery lead time): engineer to order (ETO), purchase to order (PTO), make to order (MTO), assemble to order (ATO) and make to stock ...
