  3. Steps in Production Operations The production process involves the coordination of many steps, such as planning, purchasing of inputs, quality control, and inventory control. Section 3

  4. Steps in Production Operations (cont.) • Inventory that businesses carry is a result of the productionprocess. production:process of changing resources into goods that satisfy the needs and wants of individuals and businesses • Consumer goods are goods produced for individuals and sold directly to the public to be used as they are. Section 3

  5. Once a business obtains funds to expand, it must consider the steps in setting up the production process. VS 3

  6. Steps in Production Operations (cont.) • The production process involves: • Planning—choosing a location and scheduling production. • Location factors: nearness to markets, raw materials, labor supply, and transportation facilities. • Production factors: setting start and end times for each step, and monitoring labor, machinery, and materials. Section 3

  7. Steps in Production Operations (cont.) • Purchasing—deciding what to buy, (raw materials, machinery) from whom, and at what price. • Quality control—overseeing the grade or freshness of goods, their strength or workability, their construction or design, safety, adherence to various standards, and other factors – adds to cost of production • Inventory control—making sure that the company doesn’t run out of a specific item, and that finished goods are on hand for sale.

  9. Technology and Production Productivity can be increased by utilizing technology and dividing labor. Section 3

  10. Technology and Production (cont.) • Technology is the use of science to develop new products and new methods for producing and distributing goods and services. • In the 1700s, the Industrial Revolution came about through mechanization(combined labor of people and machines) Section 3

  11. One outgrowth of mechanization is theassembly line.It is a production system in which the good being produced moves on a conveyer belt past workers who perform individual tasks in assembling it.Henry Ford used it in his car factory Vocab11

  12. Technology and Production (cont.) • Assembly-line production is possible due to interchangeable parts made in standard sizes and the division of labor. division of labor:the breaking down of a job into small tasks performed by different workers Section 3

  13. Automation and roboticsare other technological advancements improving efficiency in everyday American society. automation:production process in which machines do the work and people oversee them robotics:sophisticated, computer-controlled machinery that operates an assembly line Vocab13
