Study Notes
Conversion Cycle
- The main purpose of the Conversion Cycle is to transform inputs into outputs.
Subsystems of the Conversion Cycle
- The Physical Activities subsystem is responsible for physical activities.
- The Information Activities subsystem is responsible for managing information related to the conversion process.
Lean Manufacturing and Accounting
- In lean manufacturing, Activity-Based Costing (ABC) focuses on the cost of activities rather than products.
- Lean manufacturing addresses the shortcomings of traditional accounting methods by providing a more accurate and detailed picture of costs.
- Lean manufacturing and world-class companies typically use ERP systems to improve efficiency.
Production Flexibility
- One way to achieve production flexibility is by reorganizing production based on flows through cells.
- Traditional plant layouts can impact production costs by increasing material handling and transportation costs.
- A key advantage of reorganizing based on flows through cells is that it reduces material handling and transportation costs.
Production Layout and Employee Attitudes
- In traditional plant layouts, employees typically feel isolated and uninvolved in their work.
- Traditional plant layouts can lead to inefficiencies and increased production costs.
Traditional Batch Production Model
- The four basic processes in the Traditional Batch Production Model are: materials movement, materials storage, production operations, and quality control.
- Materials requirement in a Batch Production System refers to the amount of materials required to produce a batch of products.
- Production Scheduling in a Batch Production System coordinates the allocation of resources and production operations.
- Production operations begin in a Batch Production System when all materials are available and ready for production.
- The purpose of the Finished Goods (FG) warehouse in a Batch Production System is to store finished products before they are shipped to customers.
- The influence factors on Production Scheduling in a Batch Production System include customer demand, materials availability, and production capacity.
