    Study Notes

    Manufacturing Logistics

    • Manufacturing systems logistics manages and coordinates components in a manufacturing environment to ensure smooth, efficient operations.
    • Key aspects include procurement, warehousing, inventory management, transportation, and production planning & scheduling.

    Manufacturing Logistics Advantages

    • Reduce costs by minimizing waste and optimizing inventory levels.
    • Improve production efficiency by ensuring materials are available when and where needed.
    • Enhance customer satisfaction by delivering products on time and in full.
    • Gain a competitive advantage by being more efficient and responsive than competitors.

    Factors Impacting Manufacturing Systems Logistics

    • Type of product being manufactured
    • Production process
    • Size and layout of the manufacturing facility
    • Location of suppliers and customers
    • Overall business strategy

    Quality Assurance (QA) and Total Quality Management (TQM)

    • QA and TQM are the responsibility of all involved in product design and manufacturing.
    • Product integrity is defined by function, suitability, and maintainability throughout its lifespan.
    • Defective products are costly to manufacturers.

    Lean Production

    • Lean production is a methodology for assessing and improving each process in a company.
    • Seeks to minimize waste and eliminate unnecessary operations not adding value to the product.
    • Focuses on, efficiency and effectiveness of processes, machinery, and personnel.
    • Aims for continual improvement in efficiency and profitability by removing waste.

    Agile Manufacturing

    • Agile manufacturing is a strategy for adapting to changing customer needs and market demands.
    • Key aspects are:
      • Flexibility, adjusting production processes to changes.
      • Rapid response, quickly producing or changing existing products.
      • Continuous improvement, consistently looking for ways to enhance processes.

    Lean vs. Agile

    • Lean focuses on efficiency and repeatability of operations, while agile focuses on adapting to changes.
    • Lean often emphasizes highly structured teams and processes, whereas agile favors flexibility and decentralized decision-making.

    Manufacturing Costs

    • Manufacturing costs typically account for about 40% of a product's selling price.
    • Crucial for competitiveness, given global competition and increasing demand for high-quality goods at low prices.
    • Typical cost breakdown includes design, materials, manufacturing, direct labor, and indirect labor.
    • Repair costs increase significantly as a product moves through production, assembly, and distribution.

    Manufacturing Costs Components

    • Materials (raw material cost depends on material itself and supply/demand)
    • Tooling (costs vary based on tools, dies, molds, work-holding devices, and fixtures)
    • Fixed costs (energy, rent, insurance, real estate taxes)
    • Capital (production machinery, equipment, buildings, and land)
    • Labor (direct labor is labor directly involved in production; indirect labor supports manufacturing)

    Manufacturing Cost Calculations

    • Direct Material Cost (DMC)
    • Direct Labor Cost (DLC), calculated based on production volume
    • Variable Manufacturing Overhead (VMO)
    • Fixed Manufacturing Overhead (FMO)
    • Total Manufacturing Cost (TMC) is the sum of all component costs.
