Study Notes
Introduction to PP&S Design
- Product, process, schedule, and facilities design decisions are interconnected and sequential.
- Focus areas include product design, process design, and schedule design functions.
Product Design
- Consists of deciding what products to manufacture and developing comprehensive designs for each.
- Influenced by aesthetics, function, materials, and manufacturing considerations.
- Various departments like marketing, purchasing, and quality control impact product design.
- Must ultimately fulfill customer needs.
Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
- QFD is a structured approach that translates customer needs into product characteristics and process designs.
- Helps to ensure products meet or exceed customer expectations.
- Benchmarking identifies competitive practices and successful organizational strategies.
Input for Facilities Planning
- Essential inputs for facilities planning include operational specifications, drawings, and prototypes.
- Visual aids such as photographs and assembly drawings facilitate understanding of the product assembly process.
Process Design
- Involves decisions about production methods, responsibilities (make-or-buy), and equipment utilization.
- Key questions include whether to manufacture in-house or subcontract and the time implications of production methods.
Process Identification
- Make-or-buy decisions assess the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of producing items in-house versus purchasing them.
- Input for facility planners includes parts lists detailing components, quantities, and assembly hierarchy.
Process Selection
- Involves transforming decisions into actionable steps for manufacturing, considering operations and equipment needed.
- Steps include identifying operations, analyzing substitutes, standardizing methods, and evaluating alternatives.
- Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) streamlines planning processes into variant and generative systems.
Process Sequencing
- Route sheets provide critical information regarding production methods, processes, equipment, and raw materials.
- Assembly charts define how components fit together, guiding production workflow.
- Operation process charts give a comprehensive overview of facility operations.
Schedule Design
- Covers decisions on production quantities, timings, and duration based on market forecasts.
- Influenced by factors such as machine selection, employee numbers, storage needs, and facility specifications.
Facility Layout and Design
- Refers to organization of workers, machines, equipment, and products within a facility.
- Aims to create a smooth workflow of materials and information for optimal efficiency.
- Key considerations in layout design include ease of modification, movement flow, materials handling, and safety.
Factors Influencing Layout Design
- Ability to accommodate future changes or expansions.
- Efficiency of movement flows and space utilization.
- Communication ease and support systems within the facility.
- Effects on employee morale and satisfaction.
- Integration of promotional values and overall safety measures.
