Requirements Planning systems and processes as it provides information about manufacturing needs (linked with customer demand) as well as information about inventory levels. MRP techniques focus on optimizing inventory. MRP techniques are used to explode bills of material‚ to calculate net material requirements and plan future production. This report focuses on MRP and MRPII systems.MRPII stands for Manufacturing Resource Planning and represents an extension of MRP.MRPII points to computer

REAL TIME DISCRETE EVENT SIMULATION OF A PCB PRODUCTION SYSTEM FOR OPERATIONAL SUPPORT This is a summary of the paper titled “Real Time Simulation of a PCB Production System for Operational Support” by Mats Jackson and Christer Johansson in the 1997 Winter Simulation Conference. I picked this paper because it deals with how Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is used to assist a crucial methodology in the current market – “Agile” manufacturing. Nowadays‚ the customers want better products available

addressing the best approach in manufacturing an upcoming line of 9000HP computers. They assess previously used techniques such as “repetitive Just-in-Time manufacturing” and “low volume manufacturing” for the future complex‚ low-level production line. There are many ways to adapt repetitive manufacturing concepts to lower volume complex products. The following outlines the assessment‚ incorporation‚ and feedback experienced by Hewlett-Packard when adopting a JIT manufacturing concept for their line of

are good at manufacturing. Just ask any global producers of automobiles‚ copiers‚ or personal electronics what happened in the 1980s. They will probably tell you how the Japanese captured a large share of the global-market by creating world-class standards in design‚ materials‚ and management. What is often overlooked is the attempt to understand how the Japanese industry succeeds at the services that support the manufacturing process (Krajewski et al‚ 1987: 40). Within the production field‚ the Kanban

Unbeknown to the worker‚ the decrease in quality for the output coming from his workstation forced the next worker to operate at a slower speed and resulted in an increase in defective parts and a reduction in the production line capacity. Memo to Frank Deere: The current production should focus on the quality of the products and on-time delivery which also echoes Fabritek’s market reputation. Moreno’s premium could still be maintained through other approaches such as readjust the payment or offering

weeks. So Mr. Dwight collier decided to start production of a line of custom made dress shirt which will be moderately priced and at the same time will be delivered within 10 working days after customer places the order. So Mr. Dwight ordered a new “low-ply” laser cutting machine for the purpose and also planned to hire a new worker to operate the same. Before starting production Mr. Dwight wanted to study several options for designing the manufacturing process for custom shirt line. So he endowed

between departments and the management seems to be insufficient to satisfy integration of these departments. There are also some serious problems in the production‚ design and inspection of the Greasex. Below is the list of these problems in detail: 1. The plant has a poor quality attitude. Quality department isn’t taken seriously by production people. We can understand this from the behavior of the foreman.
