  2. Managing Engineering and TechnologySixth EditionMorse and Babcock Planning Production Activity Chapter 11

  3. Chapter Objectives • Describe position of engineer in the production process • Describe considerations in planning manufacturing facilities • Be able to use production planning tools • Recognize different methods for production planning and control

  4. Engineering Positions in Production Activity • Maintenance Engineer • Industrial Engineer • Process Engineer • Quality Engineer • Test Engineer • Safety Engineer • Manufacturing Engineer • Environmental Engineer

  5. Planning Manufacturing Facilities • Area selection • Community selection • Site selection • Common errors

  6. Area Selection • Location of markets • Location of materials • Transpiration facilities • Labor supply • Location of other plants and warehouses

  7. Community Selection • Managerial preferences • Community facilities • Community attitudes • Community, government and taxation • Financial inducements

  8. Site Selection • Size of site • Topography • Utilities • Waste Disposal • Transportation facilities • Land costs

  9. Common Errors in Facility Location Analysis • Labor cost miscalculations • Inadequate labor reservoir • Lack of distribution outlets • Underestimated importance of taxes • Purchasing unsuitable building

  11. Layout Planning Definition Comprised of all activities involved in selection for and transportation routes among departments, processes, work centers, machines, and service functions

  12. Objectives of Layout Planning • Minimize materials-handling costs • Reduce congestion of personnel and material • Increase safety of personnel • Increase labor efficiency • Improve morale

  13. Objectives, cont. • Facilitate communication and coordination • Provide operations flexibility • Increase quality of working life • Fung shui

  14. Tools in Production Planning • Economic Order Quantity • Break-even Charts • Learning Curves

  15. Break-Even Charts • Fixed costs – independent of production level • Variable costs – vary directly with the level of production

  16. Production Planning and Control Systems • Material Requirements Planning (MRP) • Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) • Synchronized Manufacturing

  17. Manufacturing Systems • Flexible Manufacturing Systems • Lean Manufacturing
