Production Planning Introduction The intention of this project is to demonstrate the function of production planning in a non - artificial environment. Through this simulation we are able to forecast‚ with a degree of certainty the monthly requirements for end products‚ subassemblies‚ parts and raw materials. We are supplied with information that we are to base our decisions on. The manufacturer depicted in this simulation was actually a General Electric facility that produced black and white

9. CRITICALLY EVALUATE THE ROLE OF THE MAJOR NEWS AGENCIES IN THE PRODUCTION AND FLOW OF INTERNATIONAL NEWS. As the news media has rapidly developed into a modern‚ high-tech mass communication industry‚ it is playing an increasingly important role in different aspects: political‚ economy‚ social life‚ the development and peace between nations. Culture and beliefs flow across territorial boundaries‚ people in different countries can share ideas and information in ways both formal and informal (such

The Poisson probability distribution‚ named after the French mathematician Siméon-Denis. Poisson is another important probability distribution of a discrete random variable that has a large number of applications. Suppose a washing machine in a Laundromat breaks down an average of three times a month. We may want to find the probability of exactly two breakdowns during the next month. This is an example of a Poisson probability distribution problem. Each breakdown is called an occurrence in Poisson

* Fewer parts to deal with in inventory & manufacturing * Less costly to fill orders from inventory * Reduced training costs and time * More routine purchasing‚ handling‚ and inspection procedures * Opportunities for long production runs‚ automation * Need for fewer parts justify increased expenditures on perfecting designs and improving quality control procedures. Disadvantages of Standardization * Decreased variety results in less consumer appeal. * Designs

number of enterprises pay much more attention on choosing distribution channels. Keegan and Schlegelmich (2001) explained that distribution channel can be considered as the method which is used for enterprises putting products into the market for consumers to use. The traditional distribution channel goes from supplier‚ manufacturer‚ distributor‚ wholesaler and retailer (Frazier‚ 1999). Indirect and direct are two different types of distribution channels (Wilkinson‚ 2001). According to Silva (2008)‚

Just-in-Time (JIT) is a production strategy that strives to improve a business’ return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs. Just In Time production method is also called the Toyota Production System. To meet JIT objectives‚ the process relies on signals or Kanban between different
