Study Notes
Manufacturing Systems Aspects
- Manufacturing systems are defined by physical systems, operations, information systems, and people.
Physical Systems
- Facilities: Buildings, warehouses, and structures housing the manufacturing process.
- Equipment: Machinery, tools, and assets used to transform raw materials into finished products.
- Material Handling Systems: Equipment and processes moving materials within the facility (e.g., conveyor belts, robots, forklifts).
Operations
- Production Planning and Scheduling: Determining what products to make, in what quantities, and when. Includes scheduling equipment and labor.
- Process Design: Planning the sequence of steps to transform raw materials into finished products.
- Inventory Management: Efficient ordering, storage, and use of materials.
- Quality Control: Ensuring products meet required standards.
- Maintenance: Keeping equipment and machinery in good working order.
Information Systems
- Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES): Systems collecting and tracking data from the manufacturing process (e.g., production rates, machine downtime, inventory levels).
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems: Systems integrating information from all business aspects (manufacturing, finance, sales).
- Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM): Technologies used to design products and create instructions for manufacturing.
People
- Workers: Personnel operating equipment and performing tasks to produce goods.
- Managers: Individuals overseeing the manufacturing process and making decisions for improvement.
- Engineers: Professionals designing and developing new products and manufacturing processes.
Manufacturing Systems Structure
- The structure includes hierarchical levels from enterprise to station, relating to strategic resources, strategies, and operational rules.
Manufacturing Systems Transformation
- Key advancements in manufacturing, such as Toyota Production Systems (TPS), Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), and Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) are discussed.
- There is an increase in system flexibility, responsiveness, and efficiency over time.
- Cloud-based manufacturing systems (CBMS) are also mentioned.
Integrated Manufacturing Systems
- Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is defined as a manufacturing approach utilizing computer-controlled machinery and automation.
- The four major functions in an integrated system are production, design, management, and strategic planning.
Integrated Manufacturing Systems Calculations
- An example of calculating utilization rate for producing car suspension springs in a manufacturing system is provided.
- Calculations of total available production time, actual production time, total springs produced, and the utilization rate of an integrated manufacturing system are shown.
- Another example features a system assembling three components (A, B, C).
- Option 1 (sequential processing) and Option 2 (parallel processing) are analyzed in terms of daily production time.
