In managing manufacturing or service operations, several types of decisions are made including operations strategy, product design, process design, quality management, capacity, facilities planning, production planning and inventory control. Each of these requires an ability to analyze the current situation and find better solutions to improve ...
One difference from manufacturing inventories is that services use only finished goods, while manufacturing has finished goods, work-in-process and raw-materials inventories. As a result, manufacturing uses a Materials Requirements Planning System, while services do not.
Manufacturing operations management (MOM) is a collection of systems for managing end-to-end manufacturing processes with a view to optimizing efficiency. [1] There are many types of MOM software, including for production management, performance analysis, quality and compliance, and human machine interface (HMI). Production management software ...
A concept of operations (abbreviated CONOPS, CONOPs, [1] or ConOps [2]) is a document describing the characteristics of a proposed system from the viewpoint of an individual who will use that system. Examples include business requirements specification or stakeholder requirements specification (StRS) .
The Sales and Operations planning process has a twofold scope. The first scope is the horizontal alignment in order to balance the supply and demand through integration between the company departments and with suppliers and customers.
The P&ID is then used as a basis of design for developing the "system operation guide" or "functional design specification" which outlines the operation of the process. [4] It guides the process through operation of machinery, safety in design, programming and effective communication between engineers. [5]
There is a difference between discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing in terms of flow patterns. An example given is that discrete manufacturing follows an "A" type process and process manufacturing follows a “V” type process. [5] In the production cycle, a work order or process order [6] is issued to make the product in bulk ...
Manufacturing Resource Planning or Management resource planning (or MRP2) - Around 1980, over-frequent changes in sales forecasts, entailing continual readjustments in production, as well as the unsuitability of the parameters fixed by the system, led MRP (Material Requirement Planning) to evolve into a new concept .
