Total expected demand for an item or raw material.

Bill of materials restructuring to show components at their lowest level of use.

System for controlling material movement based on signals.

Visual aid for loading and scheduling.

Method for planning and coordinating large projects.

Program evaluation and review technique for planning and coordinating large projects.

Evaluates quality investments based on financial return.

Determining short-range capacity needs for production.

A person who promotes and supports a project.

A hierarchical list of tasks in a project.

A system to quickly change machine production.

Data for assessing future material needs.

Uncommitted inventory.

Manufacturer controls both forward and reverse product flow.

Highly coordinated system where goods move as needed.

Quality control at the source (automation).

Workload leveling to achieve a steady flow of work by averaging volume and variety of production.

A visual tool to organize information from a brainstorming session.

The core of production planning and control, determining quantities needed to meet demand.

Unique, one-time operations with specific objectives and limited time frames.

Total time from ordering to completion of a process, including sequential phases.

A visual representation of project activities showing their sequential relationships.

A system using minimal resources to produce high-quality goods/services.

Scheduling for flow systems (medium volume).

A process for inspecting returned goods to prevent incorrect acceptance. This helps companies avoid accepting faulty items or items that are not meant to be returned.

Strategies aimed at minimizing the number of returns. This involves proactive measures to prevent returns from happening in the first place.

A system where all jobs follow the same sequence, used for high-volume production. Scheduling in this system is called Flow-shop Scheduling.

Mistakenly concluding a process is not in control when it actually is. This is like saying a machine is broken when it's actually working.

Concluding a process is in control when it is not. This is like missing a defect in a production line, leading to potential issues.

The actual amount of an item needed in each time period to meet demand, taking into account existing inventory and other factors.

Identifying the parent items that generated material requirements for a specific item. This helps understand how materials are linked to finished products.

A visual representation using a Gantt chart that showcases the loading and idle times for machines or departments.

A concept in product or service design that makes mistakes virtually impossible by preventing errors through design features.

A product fulfillment approach where products are designed and built according to specific customer requirements.

A product fulfillment approach where production of a standard product design is linked to the final customer specifications.

A product fulfillment approach where products are assembled to customer specifications from a stock of pre-made components.

A product fulfillment approach where production is based on forecasted demand and products are sold from finished goods stock.

A production system where materials or parts are replaced only when needed, based on actual demand.

Waste and inefficiency in a production system.

First In, First Out - A cost accounting method where the oldest inventory items are assumed to be sold first. So, the cost of goods sold is based on the price of the earliest inventory purchases.

Last In, First Out - A cost accounting method where the newest inventory items are assumed to be sold first. So, the cost of goods sold is based on the price of the latest inventory purchases.

Excessive inventory beyond minimal quantities. This leads to wasted resources, tying up floor space, and increasing costs.

Excessive use of manufacturing resources, resulting in more product than necessary.

Time wasted waiting for materials or processes, adding no value to the product.

Moving materials or products unnecessarily, increasing handling and work-in-process inventory.

A business structure where one individual owns and operates the business, personally liable for all debts.
