  1. MENG 445 Production and Inventory Control Introduction Dr. Lotfi K. Gaafar Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(1)

  2. Overview • The main components of the PPC system • Qualitative/quantitative forecasting • Aggregate planning • Material requirement planning • Inventory control • Scheduling • The theory of constraints and its applications • Push and Pull production systems Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(2)

  3. Production Planning and Control The Production Control System Sales and order entry Demand forecasting Customer Shop-floor scheduling and control Materials requirement planning Aggregate planning Shipping and receiving Production Inventory management Inventory Vendors Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(3)

  4. Production Planning and Control Main Functions Forecasting to predict customer demand on various products over a given horizon. AggregatePlanning to determine overall resources needed. Materials Requirement Planning to determine all required components and timing. Inventory Management to decide production or purchase quantities and timing. Scheduling to determine shop-floor schedule of various components. Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(4)

  5. Production Planning and Control Purpose Effectively utilize limited resources in the production of goods so as to satisfy customer demands and create a profit for investors. Resources include the production facilities, labor and materials. Constraints include the availability of resources, delivery times for the products, and management policies. Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(5)

  6. Production Planning and Control Summary The production control activity is a chain of interrelated events that functions as a system. The decisions are made for different horizons in time and with different degrees of accuracy. Yet they must all occur if the ultimate objective is to be met: that is, to use limited resources effectively to produce goods that satisfy customer demands and create a profit for investors. Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(6)

  7. High Profitability Low Costs High Sales Low Unit Costs Quality Product High Customer Service High Throughput High Utilization Low Inventory Fast Response Many products Less Variability Short Cycle Times Low Utilization High Inventory More Variability Production Objectives Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(7)

  8. Performance Measures Throughput WIP Cycle time Service quality Profit Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(8)

  9. Forecasting • Objective: predict demand for planning purposes. • Laws of Forecasting: • 1. Forecasts are always wrong! • 2. Forecasts always change! • 3. The further into the future, the less reliable the forecast will be! • Forecasting Tools: • Qualitative: Delphi, Analogies • Quantitative: Causal and time series models Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(9)

  10. Aggregate Planning • Objective: generate a long-term production plan that establishes a rough product mix, anticipates bottlenecks, and is consistent with capacity and workforce plans. • Issues: • Aggregation: product families and time periods must be set appropriately for the environment. • Coordination: AP is the link between the high level functions of forecasting/capacity planning and intermediate level functions of MRP, inventory control, and scheduling. • Anticipating Execution: AP is virtually always done deterministically, while production is carried out in a stochastic environment. Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(10)

  11. Workforce Planning • How much and what kind of labor is needed to support production goals? • Issues: • Basic Staffing Calculations: standard labor hours adjusted for worker availability. • Working Environment: stability, morale, learning. • Flexibility/Agility: ability of workforce to support plant's ability to respond to short and long term shifts. • Quality: procedures are only as good as the people who carry them out. Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(11)

  12. Capacity/Facility Planning • How much and what kind of physical equipment is needed to support production goals? • Issues: • Basic Capacity Calculations: stand-alone capacities and congestion effects (e.g., blocking) • Capacity Strategy: lead or follow demand • Make-or-Buy: vendoring, long-term identity • Flexibility: with regard to product, volume, mix • Speed: scalability, learning curves Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(12)

  13. Demand Management • Objective: establish an interface between the customer and the plant floor, that supports both competitive customer service and workable production schedules. • Issues: • Customer Lead Times: shorter is more competitive. • Customer Service: on-time delivery. • Batching: grouping like product families can reduce lost capacity due to setups. • Interface with Scheduling: customer due dates are are an enormously important control in the overall scheduling process. Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(13)

  14. Material Requirement Planning • Objective: Determine all purchase and production components needed to satisfy the aggregate/disaggregate plan. • Issues: • Bill of Materials: Determines components, quantities and lead times. • Inventory Management: Must be coordinated with inventory. Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(14)

  15. Sequencing and Scheduling • Objective: develop a plan to guide the release of work into the system and coordination with needed resources (e.g., machines, staffing, materials). • Methods: • Sequencing: • Gives order of releases but not times. • Scheduling: • Gives detailed release times. Production and Inventory Control- Introduction(15)

  16. Shop Floor Control • Objective: control flow of work through plant and coordinate with other activities (e.g., quality control, preventive maintenance, etc.) • Issues: • Customization: SFC is often the most highly customized activity in a plant. • Information Collection: SFC represents the interface with the actual production processes and is therefore a good place to collect data. • Simplicity: departures from simple mechanisms must be carefully justified.
