Improvement Analysis of Production Planning and Control System
Industrial Engineering and Management, 2021
This study is of serious concern to increase the productivity and efficiency of the Ethiopian pulp and paper manufacturing company. The goal of this work is therefore to discover the problems that lead to poor company production planning and control systems. Methods used to gather and interpret data by observations, interviews, questionnaires and reports are then defined using Pareto analysis and fish-bone diagram methods such as labor efficiency and machine usage, energy costs, turnover of workers, production planning and control structure, delivery date results, maintenance costs, low demand, and resource estimation, bottleneck, Poor production schedule, capacity estimate, downtime, capacity planning, master production schedule, demand forecasting, and overall production planning. Research findings, therefore, indicate that Capacity Planning, Master Production Schedules, Demand Forecasting, and Aggregate Production Planning are some of the key issues leading to poor capacity plann...
Journal of Optimization in Industrial Engineering, 2019
This study is conducted to developed innovative production planning and control strategies to manufacturing industries so as to improve production performance and competitiveness of basic metal sectors Though the study was conducted through field observation and questioner used as primary data and literature review on research articles, books, and electronic-sources which used as secondary data. While the questioner and filed observation data collection were done from two selected Ethiopian basic metal industries. Since the collected data were employed by both using descriptive and empirical analysis. Waste in the production process, poor plant layout systems, defective products, improper material requirement planning, deficiency on control and monitoring systems, insufficient inventory control, poor workflow strategies, null warehouse management systems, problems in information systems and information management strategies were investigated as the main challenges of developing the ...
Planning model of production process in a manufacturing enterprise
Research in Logistics and Production
The article focuses primarily on two major aspects affecting each manufacturing enterprise. Namely, the question of planning of production process as well as process preparation to manufacture a desired product will be discussed. The article shows planning and production actions on the example of a production enterprise. The technical scope necessary in preparation of each production was presented as well as selected ways for inseparable connections and machines found in manufacturing halls were discussed. The characteristics of an enterprises manufacturing metal workshop furniture as well as workshop cars equipment was shown. The course of manufacturing process planning was depicted. Due to presented plans of the production hall it is possible to view the whole process. Some changes in that plan to streamline production and extend it in the future with a new range of products were suggested.
System Safety: Human - Technical Facility - Environment, 2019
Assurance of the supervised conditions in all processes affects directly both products and users safety and environmental influence. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards in Operation point require from organisations to implement and control the planned processes by establishing processes’ criteria, assuring the supervised conditions and verifying processes’ conformity. Moreover, in Planning section it is required to plan the processes with the consideration of quality and environmental risk. Therefore research on the practical solutions of operational planning and control in the production processes are of the crucial meaning, especially from the perspective of the integrated fulfilment of the requirements. That is why the value of the paper is being constituted by the authorial methodology of identification of the key-operational criteria, including integrated risk assessment, using the computer support and being a starting point for assurance of the supervised conditions in the key-pr...
Production Planning and Control: The Dissemination Tool of the Operation Strategy
2016
The objective of this research is to analyze the Production Planning and Control (PPC) as a dissemination tool of the operation strategy in industries that compete in environmental sustainability. We used a qualitative methodology supported by cases studies, based on interviews with managers responsible for the production planning and control of four big Brazilian industries. The results indicated that PPC can be an efficient tool to dissiminate the operation strategy for its power of integration with the many key areas involved in an industry, what can bring pratical implications to the ones responsible for the formulation and implementation of the operation strategy. The result is of value because PPC can be used as an ally of the operation/production managers to promote and lead the implementation of the operation strategy on the shop floor.
The Role of Production Planning in Enhancing an Efficient Manufacturing System – An Overview
E3S Web of Conferences
Every manufacturing system can only survive with a high level of system planning and budgeting. Production planning is a sequential ladder in the manufacturing setting to ensure that materials input (raw materials, men, money, and machine) is made available within a stipulated time frame, in the appropriate amount to produce the demanded output of goods and services based on the schedule specified. Production planning also helps in making available high quality of goods and services in the right quantities to the customer at the demanded delivery timing to attain higher degree of customer satisfaction. Through production planning, different departmental activities i.e., engineering, production, purchasing, sales, and marketing, as well as stock control department, and other units that may relate to production are coordinated to attain a regular, steady, and balanced flow of production thus, enhancing reduction in production cycle time. Production planning serves as an instrument whi...
The method of analysis in production management
2007
The method of analysis was developed by ancient Greek geometers to identify and solve problems related to geometry. From that period, well known scientists such as Newton and Descartes have applied the method. More recently, Polya has presented the method of analysis as a heuristic template to solve mathematical and other problems. Despite its continual epistemological dilution, the method has also been used to explain the cognitive process of designing. In this paper it is claimed that the method of analysis can also explain production management. It seems that the method of analysis has been used across different levels of management in production, i.e. from a holistic/strategic perspective through to detailed levels. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to discuss whether the method of analysis provides a partial theoretical foundation for production planning. The research approach is literature review with an emphasis on the method of analysis and synthesis. The conclusion is that the method of analysis and synthesis adds to the theoretical explanation of both design and production.
