Manufacturing Strategy - Course Page With Links to Notes and Resources

Many things have to be right for an organization to be Effective and Efficient.

Right Manufacturing Management - Right Technologies - Right Processes - Right Resources - Right People - Right Suppliers - Right Industrial Engineering (Continuous Improvement Engineering & Management).

As a manufacturing manager, you are not going to do every thing. You need to many managers and operators to fulfill the manufacturing task. You have to determine the material resources you need and manpower resources you need and you have to acquire them. This is the resourcing function of management. Every manager has to do it. Then the resources have to allocated to products production so that market requirements are satisfied with the required profit for the organization providing satisfaction to the customers.

Started teaching manufacturing strategy. Process improvement is one of the four decision areas.

Work study by ILO is actually Time and Motion Study only in a repackaged format. Method study is at a higher level than motion study. But complete process improvement using process chart method requires machine effort improvement also. Industrial engineering became a weak discipline because there is no proper machine effort improvement content. I am trying to develop a base for it through my online lessons for process industrial engineering.

Producing Prosperity: Why America Needs a Manufacturing Renaissance

Gary Pisano, Willy Shih

Harvard Business Review Press, 2012 M10 16 - 192 pages

Manufacturing’s central role in global innovation

Companies compete on the decisions they make. For years—even decades—in response to intensifying global competition, companies decided to outsource their manufacturing operations in order to reduce costs. But we are now seeing the alarming long-term effect of those choices: in many cases, once manufacturing capabilities go away, so does much of the ability to innovate and compete. Manufacturing, it turns out, really matters in an innovation-driven economy.

In Producing Prosperity, Harvard Business School professors Gary Pisano and Willy Shih show the disastrous consequences of years of poor sourcing decisions and underinvestment in manufacturing capabilities. They reveal how today’s undervalued manufacturing operations often hold the seeds of tomorrow’s innovative new products, arguing that companies must reinvest in new product and process development in the US industrial sector. Only by reviving this “industrial commons” can the world’s largest economy build the expertise and manufacturing muscle to regain competitive advantage. America needs a manufacturing renaissance—for restoring itself, and for the global economy as a whole.

This will require major changes. Pisano and Shih show how company-level choices are key to the sustained success of industries and economies, and they provide business leaders with a framework for understanding the links between manufacturing and innovation that will enable them to make better outsourcing decisions. They also detail how government must change its support of basic and applied scientific research, and promote collaboration between business and academia.

For executives, policymakers, academics, and innovators alike, Producing Prosperity provides the clearest and most compelling account yet of how the American economy lost its competitive edge—and how to get it back.

Speed-Based Target Profit: Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations

Alin Posteucă

CRC Press, 19-Nov-2020 - Business & Economics - 346 pages

Profitable production planning is and will remain an eternal challenge to ensuring the prosperity and dignity of companies in a global market. There are different approaches to improve productivity. But an approach to achieve  the target profitability through productivity in the production planning stage is not available so far.  Alin Posteucă, a researcher and consultant working in the area of manufacturing cost policy, now presents the system called speed-based target profit (SBTP) that will provide the method for planning profit along with production for the year.

SBTP is the profitable production management and manufacturing improvement system that approaches production planning to achieve unit speed of target profit for target products through manufacturing cost improvement and bottleneck profitability control for required takt time. Managers and practitioners within manufacturing companies will discover a practical approach for cost down and cash up by applying a powerful operational profitable production planning formula to meet profitability expectations through productivity based on strong leadership with the help of a specific system for feedforward, concurrent, and feedback control. 

The uniqueness of the book is reinforced by a detailed presentation of the successful application of the SBTP system in two case studies, as a way of life and a unit speed of target profit improvement ethos at all hierarchical levels, in two multinational manufacturing companies operating in highly competitive markets in order to address the synchronous profitable operations.

By adopting the SBTP system, your company will be able to consistently achieve unit speed of target profit in the bottleneck process for fulfilling annual and multiannual target profit as a unique and effective way through a new profitable production planning paradigm.

Paper

MANUFACTURING COST POLICY DEPLOYMENT 

Abstract. It is obvious that the gap between the need to reduce manufacturing costs and the level that manufacturing companies can achieve is large and often companies do not know how to cope with this situation.  Moreover, this gap is widening for many companies. There are  different pathways such as: Industrial Engineering (IE), Total Quality Management (TQM), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM),  Just-In-Time (JIT), Lean Manufacturing (LM), Six Sigma and World Class Manufacturing (WCM). However, these approaches have to be combined as an improvement portfolio to derive the benefit of targeted manufacturing cost reduction.  Publications on the Manufacturing Cost Policy Deployment (MCPD) system by Alin Posteuca provide a methodology for setting targets and means of reducing unit costs.  MCPD system establishes competitive cost targets and expected profit targets, breaks down cost improvement targets at the level of products, processes, departments and individuals and aligns systematic and systemic improvement activities accordingly. The three phases and the seven steps of the MCPD system and an example of applying the MCPD system are provided in the paper.

Manufacturing Strategy

The Strategic Management of the Manufacturing Function

By Terry Hill · 2017

Manufacturing Strategy: How to Formulate and Implement a Winning Plan, Second Edition

John Miltenburg

CRC Press, 09-Mar-2005 - Business & Economics - 448 pages

To stay competitive and meet market expectations in a global economy, both domestic and foreign companies must realign their manufacturing processes, make improvements, and increase their manufacturing capabilities. With large numbers of employees working in a network of domestic and foreign facilities, production processes are as varied as the products being produced. Manufacturing managers need a manufacturing plan or strategy that will bring structure to this complex environment.

In Manufacturing Strategy: How to Formulate and Implement a Winning Plan, 2nd Edition, John Miltenburg offers a sensible and systematic method to: (1) evaluate domestic and foreign factories and international manufacturing and (2) plan the appropriate manufacturing strategy to be first in the market.

In the first edition of Manufacturing Strategy, John Miltenburg expands and improves on his focus in the areas of: International Manufacturing — where the focus is on a company's international network of factories; Competitive Strategy — where managers must understand the role manufacturing strategy plays in their company's business strategy; and Manufacturing Programs — showing how programs such as productivity management, quality management, six sigma, agile manufacturing, and supply chain management fit within the manufacturing strategy.

Manufacturing Strategy gives managers a common language for dealing with manufacturing problems at both strategic and operational levels. It improves communication between manufacturing managers and those outside manufacturing (who will now have a better understanding of what manufacturing can and cannot do).

Leong and Ward (1995) developed six Ps of MS by relating content and process to MS formation and argued that each of the six P provide a unique window into MS. Three of the views, planning, proactiveness and performance measure describe the process of MS, and other three views, programmes of improvement, portfolio of manufacturing capabilities and pattern of action represent MS content. These six Ps need to be sequenced and integrated for a successful MS.
