PRODUCING WORLD - CLASS GOODS AND SERVICES

What Have Done The Manufacturers to Become More Competitive ?? Who has done manufacturers in order to become competitive are:

·         Focusing on customers

·         Retain close ties with suppliers and other companies to meet customer needs

·         Practicing continuous development

·         Focus on quality

·         Save costs through the selection of place

·         Relying on the Internet to bring together companies

·         Using the new production techniques

Production : is the making of goods and services that have been so with using the factors of production. For example: land, labor, capital, entrepreneurship, and knowledge.

Production Management : is a term used to describe all activities undertaken by managers to help their companies make the goods.

Operations Management : is a special area in the management of change or transform resources (including human resources) into goods and services.

Form Utility is the value added by manufacture of goods and services that have become, like the value added by using silicon and manufacture of computer chips or merger to create a vacation package service.

Manufacturing Process that is part of the production process which physically or chemically change the material.

Assembly Process that is part of the production process which brings together the components to make products.

On going process of the production process in which long production runs and menghasilan goods so many times.

NEEDS TO IMPROVE PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES AND SAVE COSTS

The main objective of manufacturing and operations management is to provide high-quality products and services instantly in response to customer demand. As a result of the new global competition, companies must make a variety of high quality products that are designed to order with a very low cost. Several major developments have radically changed the production process in the United States manufacturing and computer aided design, flexible manufacturing, lean manufacturing and mass customization.

1.  Manufacturing and Design Aided by Computer

One of the past seems to have changed the production techniques and strategies. The first thing is to aid in computer aided product design called a computer-assisted design (computer-aided design - CAD). To involve computers directly in the production process is called manufacturing assisted by computer (computer-aided manufacturing - CAM). CAD / CAM product design allows customization to meet the needs of small markets that have a very small increase in cost. For example, CAD / CAM is used in clothing industry

2.  Flexible Manufacturing

Flexible manufacturing  involves designing machines to perform many tasks, so that these machines generate a lot of diverse products. For example, the manufacture of starter motors.

3.  Lean manufacturing

Lean manufacturing is the production of goods by utilizing all sources less than mass production.

4.  Mass Customization

Mass customization which means adjust the product to meet the many individual customers. For example the National Bicycle Industrial Company of Japan which makes 18 models of bicycles in more than 2 million combinations that each combination is designed to meet specific customer needs. Customers choose the type, size, color, and design,

OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT PLANNING :

Planning the location of operations management in both manufacturing and service sector,which includes the location of facilities, facility layout, material requitments planning of purchasing, inventory control and quality control.

1)    Location Of Facilities : Location of facilities is the process of site selection for companies and geography sugery one of the strategies in the location of the facility is to find a place That allows customers to access the companys service and the highest them. Location Of Facilities For The Manufacturer : Location of facilities for the manufacturer is manufacturing organizations transition from one city or another state in a place like this asing.peralihan ussualy generate unemployment in Some geographicregions and result in remarkable economic growth in area.one of the most common reason for a transfer of business is the availability of cheap labor or type of skilled labor that. Brings operations management to the Internet : Many large manufacturing companies such as Microsoft, to develop strategies that focus on new Internet that will enable them and other companies to compete more effectively in the future. The location of future facilities : Developments in information technology (computers, modems, e-mail, voice mail, teleconferencing, etc.) member companies and their employees more flexibility than previously available in select locations while living in a competitive environment.

2) Facility Layout : Physical arrangement of sources (including people) in the production process. The point is to put offices, machinery, area, storage, and other articles in the best possible position to enable workers to produce goods and provide services for our customers. Facility layout is very dependent on the process that should be done.

3)   Materials requirement planning - MRP - enterprise resource planning-ERP

4)   Purchasing

5)   Just-in-time inventory control

6)   Control Quality : Consistently produce what customers want while reducing errors before and after delivery to the customer (Six sigma quality, Statistical  quality control – SQC, and Statistical process control – SPC)

Standar ISO 9000 and 14000 : ISO is a federation of national standards bodies and the scope of the World More Than 140 countries globally to determine the size of individual product quality. ISO, Including non-governmental organization established in 1947 to show progress of world standards to facilitate international exchange of goods and services. ISO 9000 is the general name given to the management of quality and standards are guaranteed. IS0 14000 is a collection of best practices for managing organizational impact on the environment, does not determine the level of employment.

Control Procedures : Important road is the sequence of tasks that require the time needed to complete this road project will cause delays or production.
