The MPS is a statement of what the company expects to produce and purchase (i.e. quantity to be produced, staffing levels, dates, available to promise, projected balance). [ 1 ] [ 3 ] The MPS translates the customer demand (sales orders, PIR’s), into a build plan using planned orders in a true component scheduling environment.
According to the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG), the purpose of APQP is "to produce a product quality plan which will support development of a product or service that will satisfy the customer." [1] It is a product development process employed by General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and their suppliers.
A house of quality for enterprise product development processes. The house of quality, a part of QFD, [3] is the basic design tool of quality function deployment. [4] It identifies and classifies customer desires (WHATs), identifies the importance of those desires, identifies engineering characteristics which may be relevant to those desires (HOWs), correlates the two, allows for verification ...
It is an important tool for manufacturing and engineering, where it can have a major impact on the productivity of a process. In manufacturing, the purpose of scheduling is to keep due dates of customers and then minimize the production time and costs, by telling a production facility when to make, with which staff, and on which equipment.
Manufacturing processes must be clearly defined and controlled. All critical processes are validated [8] to ensure consistency and compliance with specifications. Manufacturing processes must be controlled, and any changes to the process must be evaluated. Changes that affect the quality of the drug are validated [9] as necessary.
A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a set of step-by-step instructions compiled by an organization to help workers carry out routine operations. [1] SOPs aim to achieve efficiency, quality output, and uniformity of performance, while reducing miscommunication and failure to comply with industry regulations.
MES provides information that helps manufacturing decision-makers understand how current conditions on the plant floor can be optimized to improve production output. [1] MES works as real-time monitoring system to enable the control of multiple elements of the production process (e.g. inputs, personnel, machines and support services).
Six Sigma (6σ) is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement.It was introduced by American engineer Bill Smith while working at Motorola in 1986. [1] [2]Six Sigma strategies seek to improve manufacturing quality by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes.
