This paper will discuss manufacturing management which will focus on how manufacturing process management (MPM) can improve entire production process.
In the early 1900s, it was allocated manufacturing expenses on the basis of direct labor cost. The manufacturing process was not automated. There were hardly any variations in the products made. In those days, when manufacturers increased the amount of direct labor, there was likely to be a related increase in such things as the number of factory supervisors, the factory space to be maintained, and factory supplies and utilities consumed. In other words, there was a high degree of correlation between the quantity of direct labor used and the amount of manufacturing expenses used.
The first part of the paper introduces the definition of managing manufacture. How to manage a plant to get good efficiency in manufacture process included analyzing each scenario works to a smooth assembly line and arranging all of resources effectively to each product line.
On the other side, it is important that taking care of employees’ working conditions and welfare and keeping customers’ satisfaction with the quality of product and price. The second part of the paper will discuss Manufacturing Process Management (MPM), which represents a huge step to link product design with production electronically, in order to improve information quality and reduce time-to-market. The last part will discuss what benefits will get from improving Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) process.
