Production Management-(3)

-                I personally hope to explain the common factory use of technical term as 3^rd edition here following the previous (1) and (2).

-                Hope to clarify what is terms as “Production Control”.

-                “Production Control is in short, meant for the management targeting at production efficiency and rationalization.

-                Production is meant to make use of the “4M” which stand for  Man, Machine, Material and  Method-efficiently and rationally which will generate towards value-added things.

-                Furthermore,  production includes proper processing, confirmation and rectification,  if necessary.

 -                There are 2 concepts in production control management.

         (Primary):   It consists of Q-C-D that corresponds directly to production target.

                              Q :    Quality (No accept, No flow, No output of “Defect”).

                              C :    Cost (Minimizing the cost by careful planning of cost control).

                              D :    Delivery (Motto is not only to ensure  timely delivery but also to minimizing delivery time).

                        -     QCD is closely related to each other.  Among this 3 methods, QC top as the most important.

                        -     With QC, it will ensure lower defects → with higher production → reduce additional cost → maintain or shorten delivery time frame.

                        -     Less WIP  → with shorten production time → use less space → more safe → lesser time & cost wastage.

(Secondary) :    It consists of “4M” that not only serve as key factors to enable higher production but also key points to be checked and monitored. 

                              Man         :     Can be improved by learning and motivation scheme.

                     Machine :     Quality Maintenance is highly important in order to keep m/c in top condition to enable efficiency in performance and capacity.

                     Material :      Raw Material, components, semi- finished  product, direct or indirect, several sub-materials.

                     Method :       Target to achieve QCD by utilizing the above 3M.

                                                      -     Easy – Accurate – Even  methods are required.

                                                      -     Must confirm standardization of each work.

☆  -     For factory management, QCD, 4M + Market Management & Money = 7M are classified as most important.

      -     In this case, Machine includes building, facility, land on top of actual production on mc & tools. 

      -          Key point of asset control is “Non-Stop”,  Zero defect” ,  and  “Low cost maintence”.

      -          Next topic will be “TPM”
