Production Management

IntroBooks
Can Akdeniz, 15-Jan-2019 - 40 pages
The Production Management is the process of producing products through manufacture of raw materials into finished goods. The concept of production management was invented at the time of industrialisation.
Production Management is a broad field and its usage is recognised in multiple areas which are concerned with providing services to the consumers. A Production Manager is required in fields like in Theatres as Stage Manager, Human Resources, Management, Accounting and Financial Management etc.
A Production Manager’s job working in an industry is to regulate the design of the product according to the wants of the customers. It also keeps a check on provision of raw materials, work force, money, materials and methods which are important for the manufacture of the desired product.
Proper Product Planning and Control is employed to avoid faults in the manufacturing process of the product to prevent the company from passing through the loss phase be it in the case of resources or the reputation that the company has developed over the years of work.
The Production Management department of the organisation is said to be the most important part of the organisation. Many other areas of work are affected if Production Management is not carried out properly and therefore is also referred to as the nervous system of an organisation.

Production and Operations Management Systems
Sushil Gupta, Martin Starr


CRC Press, 07-Feb-2014 - Business & Economics - 520 pages
Since the beginning of mankind on Earth, if the "busyness" process was successful, then some form of benefit sustained it. The fundamentals are obvious: get the right inputs (materials, labor, money, and ideas); transform them into highly demanded, quality outputs; and make it available in time to the end consumer. Illustrating how operations relate to the rest of the organization, Production and Operations Management Systems provides an understanding of the production and operations management (P/OM) functions as well as the processes of goods and service producers.

The modular character of the text permits many different journeys through the materials. If you like to start with supply chain management (Chapter 9) and then move on to inventory management (Chapter 5) and then quality management (Chapter 8), you can do so in that order. However, if your focus is product line stability and quick response time to competition, you may prefer to begin with project management (Chapter 7) to reflect the continuous project mode required for fast redesign rapid response. Slides, lectures, Excel worksheets, and solutions to short and extended problem sets are available on the Downloads / Updates tabs.

The project management component of P/OM is no longer an auxiliary aspect of the field. The entire system has to be viewed and understood. The book helps students develop a sense of managerial competence in making decisions in the design, planning, operation, and control of manufacturing, production, and operations systems through examples and case studies. The text uses analytical techniques when necessary to develop critical thinking and to sharpen decision-making skills. It makes production and operations management (P/OM) interesting, even exciting, to those who are embarking on a career that involves business of any kind.

Strategic Management of Global Manufacturing Networks: Aligning Strategy, Configuration, and Coordination

Thomas Friedli, Andreas Mundt, Stefan Thomas
Springer, 08-Jul-2014 - Business & Economics - 271 pages
The preceding process of globalization and the continuously rising competitive pressure on manufacturing companies in more developed economies unveiled the limits of classical site-focused optimization approaches. The focus of network optimization shifts ever more towards an integrative view of manufacturing networks, striving for a harmonization of the strategy-, configuration- and coordination levels. This book presents such an integrative approach to the strategic management of manufacturing networks. Besides strategic network requirements, this book discusses the derivation of an optimal global footprint and the optimization of network coordination activities. Special attention is paid to the site roles concept, especially to the concept of 'lead factory'. A large number of up-to-date cases from the producing industry enrich the book and provide the reader with vivid examples for the application of the presented concepts. Hence, this book is a must-read for both practitioners and academic researchers.

Design and Development of Knowledge Management for Manufacturing: Framework, Solution and Strategy

K. Ganesh, Sanjay Mohapatra, S. Nagarajan
Springer Science & Business Media, 19-Nov-2013 - Business & Economics - 194 pages
This book examines the modules/elements required before implementing knowledge management solutions in typical manufacturing and service industry. The objective is to develop a framework, design and model suitable for all requirements and a strategy to properly implement. Related case studies from organizations are included, with the results provided to use as a solution to problems experienced when implementing knowledge management in the industry.

Implementing a knowledge management system can be complex and dynamic, no matter how well planned and developed. Inevitably a degree of organizational inertia is focused on the current state rather than the new. Within an enterprise, personal and group involvement and interests process status and technology landscape can deflect the commitment needed to successfully implement such a system. Cumulative evidence from past research in knowledge management suggests that effective implementation of KM solution in any organization requires a robust designs and models for various critical elements of process, people and technology. Using the techniques provided in this book, readers should be able to design knowledge management strategies, to align objectives of the KM initiatives with their business goals.

Group Technology: Applications to Production Management

Inyong Ham, Katsundo Hitomi, Teruhiko Yoshida
Springer Science & Business Media, 06-Dec-2012 - Business & Economics - 208 pages
Mass productio!l and mass consumption, so far considered virtues in a free economic soceity, have changed. Various problems have occurred including economic stagnation, energy crisis, shortage of material resources, prolifera tion of pollution, lack of skilled labor, rapid changes of product design, technical innovation, and others. Moreover, individual manufacturing firms must take steps to adopt multi-product, small-lot-sized (batch type) produc tion as a type of production in order to adapt themselves to a market movement characterized by a diversified and specialty-oriented society and a short product life cycle. The number of manufacturing firms worldwide that use a type of multi-product, small-lot-sized production is expected to increase. This is so even in the United States, which has been said to be a country of mass production. Multi-product, small-lot-sized production has been considered to be a milestone to flow-type mass production, which has been thought to be the most effective production system. Intensive efforts have been made to investigate mass production systems from both theoretical and practical viewpoints. Few studies have been made for multi-product, small-lot-sized production (batch-type manufacturing). Considering the present business circumstances faced with various difficulties, it is strongly required to establish some theories useful for making practically effective and flexible multi-product, small-lot-sized production systems. Several effective approaches to the batch-type manufacturing systems have been developed. Group technology (GT) is one such method that has steadily obtained great interest from progressive manufacturing firms all over the world.

Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Networked Manufacturing Enterprises Management

Lyes Benyoucef, Bernard Grabot
Springer Science & Business Media, 10-May-2010 - Computers - 508 pages
Enterprise networks offer a wide range of new business opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises that are usually more flexible than larger companies. In order to be successful, however, performances and expected benefits have to be carefully evaluated and balanced: enterprises must ensure they become a member of the right network for the right task and must find an efficient, flexible, and sustainable working practice. A promising approach to finding such a practice is to combine analytical methods and knowledge-based approaches, in a distributed context.

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been used to refine decision-making in networked enterprise processes, integrating people, information and products across the network boundaries. Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Networked Manufacturing Enterprises Management addresses prominent concepts and applications of AI technologies in the management of networked manufacturing enterprises.

The aim of this book is to align latest practices, innovation and case studies with academic frameworks and theories, where AI techniques are used efficiently for networked manufacturing enterprises. More specifically, it includes the latest research results and projects at different levels addressing quick-response system, theoretical performance analysis, performance and capability demonstration. The role of emerging AI technologies in the modelling, evaluation and optimisation of networked enterprises’ activities at different decision levels is also covered.

Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Networked Manufacturing Enterprises Management is a valuable guide for postgraduates and researchers in industrial engineering, computer science, automation and operations research.

The Springer Series in Advanced Manufacturing publishes the best teaching and reference material to support students, educators and practitioners in manufacturing technology and management.

Production Engineering and Management under Fuzziness

Cengiz Kahraman, Mesut Yavuz
Springer Science & Business Media, 19-May-2010 - Business & Economics - 605 pages
Production engineering and management involve a series of planning and control activities in a production system. A production system can be as small as a shop with only one machine or as big as a global operation including many manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and retail locations in multiple continents. The product of a production system can also vary in complexity based on the material used, technology employed, etc. Every product, whether a pencil or an airplane, is produced in a system which depends on good management to be successful. Production management has been at the center of industrial engineering and management science disciplines since the industrial revolution. The tools and techniques of production management have been so successful that they have been adopted to various service industries, as well. The book is intended to be a valuable resource to undergraduate and graduate students interested in the applications of production management under fuzziness. The chapters represent all areas of production management and are organized to reflect the natural order of production management tasks. In all chapters, special attention is given to applicability and wherever possible, numerical examples are presented. While the reader is expected to have a fairly good understanding of the fuzzy logic, the book provides the necessary notation and preliminary knowledge needed in each chapter.

Advances in Production Management Systems: New Challenges, New Approaches: International IFIP WG 5.7 Conference, APMS 2009, Bordeaux, France, September 21-23, 2009, Revised Selected Papers

Bruno Vallespir, Thècle Alix
Springer, 19-Oct-2010 - Computers - 671 pages
The present economic and social environment has given rise to new situations within which companies must operate. As a first example, the globalization of the economy and the need for performance has led companies to outsource and then to operate inside networks of enterprises such as supply chains or virtual enterprises. A second instance is related to environmental issues. The statement about the impact of ind- trial activities on the environment has led companies to revise processes, to save - ergy, to optimize transportation.... A last example relates to knowledge. Knowledge is considered today to be one of the main assets of a company. How to capitalize, to manage, to reuse it for the benefit of the company is an important current issue. The three examples above have no direct links. However, each of them constitutes a challenge that companies have to face today. This book brings together the opinions of several leading researchers from all around the world. Together they try to develop new approaches and find answers to those challenges. Through the individual ch- ters of this book, the authors present their understanding of the different challenges, the concepts on which they are working, the approaches they are developing and the tools they propose. The book is composed of six parts; each one focuses on a specific theme and is subdivided into subtopics.

Advances in Production Management Systems: International IFIP TC 5, WG 5.7 Conference on Advances in Production Management Systems (APMS 2007), September 17-19, Linköping, Sweden

Jan Olhager, Fredrik Persson
Springer, 24-Dec-2007 - Computers - 422 pages
The competitive environment is becoming increasingly more complex and intense. In order to cope, business decisions related to various areas tend to become more interrelated. Firms need to couple their operations strategies to the marketing strategies to best support the competition of their products in the marketplace. The perspectives on production management systems are getting more strategic. A more integrated approach is thus called for, bringing together the various perspectives on production management systems and operations strategy. This relationship is important in any type of operation, perhaps more so in supply chains, production networks and global operations. This book brings together the latest thinking by leading experts, analysts, academics, researchers, and industrial practitioners from around the world who have worked extensively in the area of production management systems and strategies. In the individual chapters of this book, authors put forward their perspectives, approaches, and tools for use in developing and integrating systems and strategies in production management.

Effective Resource Management in Manufacturing Systems: Optimization Algorithms for Production Planning

Massimiliano Caramia, Paolo Dell'Olmo
Springer Science & Business Media, 16-Jun-2006 - Technology & Engineering - 216 pages
Manufacturing systems, regardless of their size, have to work with scarce resources in dynamic environments. Managers are asked to assign production facilities over time to parallel activities respecting operational constraints and deadlines while keeping resource costs as low as possible. Thus, classic scheduling approaches are not adequate when (i) a task simultaneously requires a set of different resources and (ii) a trade-off between different objectives (like time, cost and workload balance) should be reached. In such a case, more sophisticated models and algorithms should be brought to the attention of managers and executives of manufacturing companies.

Effective Resource Management in Manufacturing Systems aims to provide robust methods for achieving effective resource allocation and to solve related problems that occur daily and often generate cost overruns, specifically focusing on problems like resource levelling, sizing of machines and production layouts, cost optimization in production planning and scheduling. This approach is based on providing quantitative methods, covering both mathematical programming and algorithms, leading to high quality solutions for the analysed problems. Details of extensive experimentation is provided for the proposed techniques to put them in a practical perspective, so that, on the one hand, the reader can reproduce them, and, on the other hand, it appears clear how they can be implemented in real scenarios.

This book will be a valuable resource for postgraduate students studying business, engineering or computer science. It will also be of interest to researchers in the fore-mentioned areas.

Advances in Production Management Systems

E. Eloranta
Elsevier, 1990 - Business & Economics - 602 pages
This book is divided into four sections: invited papers, principles, systems and techniques. The invited papers form an extensive overview of the state-of-the-art of production management. The themes range from the everlasting hunt for better productivity to the implications of CIM architectures (particularly CIM-OSA) for production management. The other three sections of the book look at the various problems affecting production management. One of the characteristics of modern production management is the need for better principles, systems and techniques for interorganizational production management. Another topic of crucial relevance is the necessity to master not only repetitive manufacturing but also one-of-a-kind product manufacturing. From the managerial point of view, the forecast-based make-to-stock principles have proven insufficient, with market forces demanding fast and reliable deliveries of customer-oriented products. The goals of production management have been re-evaluated as a result.

Manufacturing Automation Management: A Productivity Handbook

Roger W. Bolz
Springer Science & Business Media, 06-Dec-2012 - Science - 252 pages
Automation has been employed for many years to provide a multitude of reasonably priced products for the American consumer. However, it has become evident that its real character as a manufacturing systems approach needs to be examined carefully for a better appreciation. In this book the purpose is to examine automation technology in its broadest sense and develop not only an understanding but also present some of the engineering and organization "know-how" by which manufacturing management can more effectively utilize automation to improve pro ductivity and combat rising costs in the years ahead. Fundamentally, this book is addressed to manufacturing managers, and the material presented in a manner that will provide the knowledge for assuring success in automating. In addition, it highlights the man ufacturing research and long-range planning that will be required for creating the new manufacturing technology so necessary for assuring success in future automation efforts. One of the important facts emphasized in this text is that automation is not merely robotics ar another kind or type of machinery. To effect true productivity improvement requires a fresh look at the entire pro duction process or facility-as a completely integrated system. With the developments of the past few years, rapid advances in the technology and the "tools of automation" have brought this imperative goal within the reasonable grasp of manufacturing management in almost every segment of industry. However, to utilize this progress, it is necessary to acquire a working understanding of all facets of automation.

Operations management is a vital part of  IKEA’s success 

IKEA shows how important operations management is for its  success .  Of course, the first requirement for any business organization is understanding customers, the market.  IKEA understands its market and its customers. Just as important, is the way the organization manages the network of operations that design, produce and deliver its products and services. It must be right for its market. No organization can survive in the long term if it cannot provide its customers satisfaction and delight. It means operations have to be effective. This is essentially what operations management is about – designing,  producing and delivering products and services that satisfy market requirements. For any business, it is a vitally important activity.

Some of the Activities of  IKEA’s Operations Managers 


● Capacity management: Deciding the Floor Space and Volume of the Store.  Coping with fluctuations in demand through rapid mobilization of inventory held at other facilities. 
● Facility Location: Locating stores of an appropriate size in the most effective place (also part of supply network design). 
● Facility Design or Layout Design: Arranging the store’s layout to give a smooth and  effective flow of customers (includes process design). 
● Product design: Designing stylish products that can be flat-packed efficiently. 
● Job Design: Making sure that all staffs have job description,  understand their duties, and  contribute to the company’s success. 
● Supply Chain Management: Arranging for the delivery of products to stores. Maintaining suppliers and communicating to them the requirements.
● Failure Prevention: Maintaining cleanliness and safety of storage areas. 
● Inventory Management: Avoiding running out of products for sale. 
● Quality Management: Monitoring and enhancing quality of service to customers. 
● Operations Improvement: Continually examining and improving operations practice.

WHAT IS OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT? 
Operations management is the activity of managing the resources that create and deliver services and products.

Operations in the organization 
The operations function is a core function of the organization because it creates and delivers services and products, which is the objective  of a business organization.  The operations function is one of the three core functions of any organization. These are:

● the marketing (including sales) function
● the product/service development function
● the operations function

Page 7

The authors view the operations function as comprising all the activities necessary for the day-to-day fulfilment of customer requests. This includes sourcing services and products from suppliers and delivering services and products to customers.

✽ An Operations principle - Principle of Cooperation (Scientific Management)
Operations managers need to co-operate with other functions to ensure effective organizational performance.

Operations Function in Different Organizations

Automobile assembly factory – operations management uses machines to efficiently assemble products that satisfy current customer demands

Physician (general practitioner) – operations management uses knowledge to effectively diagnose conditions in order to treat real and perceived patient concerns

 Management consultant – operations management uses people to effectively create the services that will address current and potential client needs

 Advertising agency – operations management uses our staff’s knowledge and experience to creatively present ideas that delight clients and address their real needs

p10

Operations Management use Resources Appropriately to Create Outputs that Fulfil Defined Market Requirements.

Figure 1.3 Operations management uses resources to appropriately create outputs that fulfil defined market requirements

Operations management in not-for-profit organizations

Operations have to take the same decisions – how to create and deliver services and products, invest in 
technology, contract out some of their activities, devise performance measures, improve their operations performance, and so on. However, the strategic objectives of not-for-profit organizations may be more complex and involve a mixture of political, economic, social or environmental objectives. Because of this there may be a greater chance of operations decisions being made under conditions of conflicting objectives.

MSF has developed and produced pre-packaged disaster kits ready for transport within hours, including a complete surgical theatre the size of a small conference table and an obstetrics kit the size of a two-drawer filing cabinet. There is an ongoing process of revising the kits every time a new drug or medical tool becomes available.

✽ Operations principle 
 Whether an operation produces tangible products or intangible services is becoming increasingly irrelevant. In a sense all operations produce service for their customers.

The process hierarchy 18 


Page 19
So any business, or operation, is made up of a network of processes and any process is made up of a network of resources.

P21
. It also means that we must distinguish between two meanings of ‘operations’: 
● ‘operations’ as a function, meaning the part of the organization which creates and delivers services and products for the organization’s external customers; 
● ‘operations’ as an activity , meaning the management of the processes within any of the 
organization’s functions.

P 21
✽ Operations principle 
 All parts of the business manage processes so all parts of the business have an operations role and need to understand operations management principles.

Operations processes have different characteristics 23 

Operations  Processes have Different Characteristics 

Although all operations processes are similar in that they all transform inputs, they do differ in a number of ways, four of which, known as the four Vs, are particularly important:

● The volume of their output;
● The variety of their output;
● The variation in the demand for their output;
● The degree of visibility which customers have of the creation of their output

P 23

The volume dimension

High-volume hamburger production of McDonald’s
Millions of burgers every day. 
Implications. Repetition of tasks by people.
Systemization of the work. Standard procedures are set down.  
Due to repetition development of specialized fryers and ovens takes place.
All this gives low unit costs. 

Now consider a small local cafeteria. 
The range of items on the menu may be similar to the large firm. 
But the volume for any item is  far lower.
The number of staff will be lower (possibly only one person).
So each individual person is  likely to perform a wider range of tasks on more general purpose oven etc.
Cost of production is higher.

The variety dimension

A taxi company offers a relatively high-variety service (any where to anywhere).

Compare with a bus service having  a few well-defined routes, with a set schedule.

The variation dimension

Consider the demand pattern for a successful summer holiday resort hotel.
Busy during summer. More employees. But during off-season less employees. So during summer temporary employees are to be hired.
Even some of the facilities are hired during summer only.

A hotel of a similar standard with level demand can plan its activities well in advance in more predictable manner.

P24
The visibility dimension 

What do operations managers do? 26 

P26
What  Do Operations Managers  Do?
The exact details of what operations managers do will, to some extent, depend on the way an organization defines the boundaries of the function. Yet there are some general classes of activities that apply to all types of operation irrespective of whether they are service, manufacturing, private or public sector, and no matter how the operations function is defined. We classify operations management activities under four headings: direct, design, deliver and develop.

● Directing the overall nature and strategy of the operation. A general understanding of operations and processes and their strategic purpose and performance, together with an appreciation of how strategic purpose is translated into reality, is a prerequisite to the detailed design of operations and process. This is treated in Chapters 1 to 3.

● Designing the operation’s services, products and processes. Design is the activity of determining the physical form, shape and composition of operations and processes together with the services and products that they create. This is treated in Chapters 4 to 9.

● Planning and control process delivery. After being designed, the delivery of services and products from suppliers and through the total operation to customers must be planned and controlled. This is treated in Chapters 10 to 17.

● Developing process performance. Increasingly it is recognized that operations managers, or indeed any process managers, cannot simply routinely deliver services and products in the same way that they always have done. They have a responsibility to develop the capabilities of their processes to improve process performance. This is treated in Chapters 18 to 21.

P28 & 29
To be a great operations manager you need to . . .

 Enjoys getting things done. 
● Understands customer needs 
● Communicates and motivates  
● Committed to innovation 
● Knows their contribution - cooperation with other departments
● Capable of analysis 
● Keeps cool under pressure

Summary of Chapter 1 of the book Operations Management by Nigel Slack, Stuart Chambers, and Robert Johnston


The operations function of the organization is concerned with the production and delivery of its products and services. Every organization has operations function as it producers some type of product or service or product/service combination.

Operations managers are the staff in the organization who have particular responsibility for managing some or all processes of operations function.

Operations management is the term that is used for the activities, decisions and responsibilities of operations managers.


Operations function is central to the organization because providing goods or services is the reason for its existence. It is one of the three core functions of the organization. The three core functions are:

* Marketing and Sales: Marketing collects and  provides the information regarding the customer needs and acceptance of the firm products in fulfillment of that need. Sales function gets in touch with potential customers in right time and place and presents the company's offerings as a solution for customer needs and gets orders or completed sales.

* New Product/Service Development Function: This function is responsible for developing and designing commercially profitable new products/services or modified products/services. They develop products based on marketing information.

* Operations Function: This function is responsible for creating the production facilities for anticipated/targeted demand and fulfilling the customer requirements at the requested deliver time.

In addition, there are many support services in an organization who facilitate the supply chain of the organization.
