    The Production System

    Defnition:The set of resources and procedures

    involved in converting raw material intoproducts and delivering them tocustomers

    Production and delivery of products are

    central to the rm Functions have value only if they enhance

    the ability to do this protably

    JOB PRODUCTION

    In this type of production* every +ob

    is di"erent from the other in terms oftype* cost* e"orts* consumption ofmaterials or specications%

    All the products manufactured under a

    batch are similar in terms of type* cost*e"orts* consumption of materials orspecications%

  • 7/25/2019 Intro Week1

    This is when the same product is made fora while* then production is switched toanother product% They will return to theproduction of the rst product again lateron%

    that part type% This is often implemented bycirculating cards* the kanbans* between a machineand the downstream bu"er%

    The machine must have a card before it can start

    a control strategy that limits the totalnumber of parts allowed into the system at

    the same time% .nce the parts are released* they areprocessed as 3uic0ly as possible until they llup the last bu"er as nished goods%

    .nce the consumer removes a part from thenished goods inventory* the rst machine inthe chain is authori5ed to load another part%
