Costs and Benefits of PPC Systems

PPC requires a large # of indirect people
Companies with ineffective PPC system will have poor customer service, excessive inventories, low equipment and people utilization, high rate of part obsolescence, large number of expediters

2.Materials & Capacity Planning

Hierarchical Planning Contd
Materials Planning Production rates can be used in simpler manufacturing systems. Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) can be used in more complex systems. MRP determines time-phased requirements (period-by-period) for all purchased and manufactured parts such as raw materials, components, parts, subassemblies, etc.
PPC Class Notes-Chapter1

2.Materials & Capacity Planning

Hierarchical Planning Contd

Detailed Capacity Planning Labor Hours Required Machine Capacity Required

In an MRP environment, this task is accomplished by using the Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) technique.

3. Execution of Plans
Hierarchical Planning Contd
Shop Floor Control Conventional Approach, Process Layout Similar machines are grouped into workcenters Use workorders to schedule the jobs through workcenters / departments Schedule machine and other workcenters Determine start and completion times of orders Update the schedule

3. Execution of Plans
Hierarchical Planning Contd
Shop Floor Control (Contd) Recent Trend, Manufacturing Cells Similar parts are grouped into families Corresponding machine cells are formed Use production rates Use schedules to control production (Family Sequencing, Product Sequencing, Cell Loading, Cell Scheduling, etc.) Use Kanban System (Pull, Just-in-Time) to control production PPC Class Notes-Chapter1

Planning vs. Control

Plans are made Results are compared with plans (control) Results are OK Wait until next control period Results are not OK Go to Step 1 (Revise plans)

Matching PPC with the Needs of the Firm

Number of Subparts

Just-in-Time

MRP

CPM/PERT

Repetitive Flow
Seconds Minutes Days Weeks Months

Time between successive units Examples: Oil, food, drugs, watches, TV, trucks, planes, houses, ships

PPC Class Notes-Chapter1

Matching PPC with the Needs of the Firm

1. Flow-Oriented Manufacturing Systems Very short time between successive units A few components needed Flow rate is the measure Ex: Chemical, food, petroleum

Matching PPC with the Needs of the Firm (Contd)

2. Repetitive-Nature Manufacturing Systems Short time between successive units Assemble similar products Flow Rate or Assembly Rate is the measure Ex: Televisions, Radios, Watches, Cars

Matching PPC with the Needs of the Firm (Contd)

3. Just-in-Time High production volume Low Product Variety Reduced Inventory and Leadtime Ex: Cars, Computers, Jewelry, Copy Machines
