   The factory system was a method
    of manufacturing first adopted in England at
    the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in
    the 1750s and later spread abroad.
   Traditionally, each worker used to create a
    separate part of the total assembly of a
    product. In factory system all resources of
    productions were bring together under one
    roof.



                              Nishant Wasatkar MOM
Manufacturing system need to interact with both
internal & external environment.

   Internal                  External
    Environment:               Environment:
    ◦   Engineering            ◦   Customers
    ◦   Marketing              ◦   Competitors
    ◦   Personnel              ◦   Suppliers
    ◦   Accounts/Finance       ◦   Labor Unions




                               Nishant Wasatkar MOM
   The selection of manufacturing system is a
    strategic decision. The system selected
    should ensure
    ◦ Desired output
    ◦ Required Quality
    ◦ Cost effectiveness

                                         Nishant Wasatkar MOM
   Definite beginning and definite end.
   Non uniform requirement of resources
   Involvement of different agencies
   Fixed Position layout
    ◦ E.g. production of ships, aircrafts, construction of
      buildings, bridge etc.
   High cost overruns
    ◦ Often delays takes place in projects which are very
      expensive due to cost of factors of production &
      penalties.


                                   Nishant Wasatkar MOM
   Personnel Problems
    ◦ If labor are borrowed from outside for short
      duration, involvement in project will be limited.
    ◦ Since project has a limited period, the staff starts
      spending more time for getting prepared for next
      project.
    ◦ Generally sites of project are in underdeveloped region &
      it may change from project to project which causes
      dislocation of the normal life.
   Scheduling & Control
    ◦ As large number of activities involve in project
      completion by different agencies with strict
      precedence, scheduling & control becomes complex &
      very important.


                                     Nishant Wasatkar MOM
   Small production runs.
   Discontinuous flow of materials
    ◦ Imbalance in operation wise work content leads to
      discontinuity in materials flow.
   Disproportionate manufacturing cycle time
    ◦ Lack of materials/components, imbalanced work
      flow, design changes, design errors detected during
      manufacture, inaccurate work measurements etc
      will lead to extended mfg cycle time.
   General purpose machines & process layout.


                                 Nishant Wasatkar MOM
   Highly skilled labor
   Highly competent knowledgeable supervision
   Large work in progress
   Limited functions of production planning &
    control
    ◦ Materials are indented & purchased on receipt of orders.
    ◦ Tools control function is simple. Standard tools are
      stocked while special tools are either made or purchased
      on request.
    ◦ Process planning activity is almost absent.
    ◦ The scheduling activity is decentralized. A schedule is
      prepared to show the start and completion date of each
      major component of the product.

                                    Nishant Wasatkar MOM
   Short runs
   Skilled labor in specific trades
   Supervisor to possess knowledge of a specific
    process.
   General purpose machines & process type
    layout.
   Manual material handling
   Mfg cycle time affected due to queues
   Large work in progress
   Flexibility of production schedules
   Need to have production planning & control.

                             Nishant Wasatkar MOM
   Continuous flow of materials
   Special purpose machines & product type
    layout
   Mechanized materials material handling
   Low skilled labor
   Short manufacturing cycle time
   Easy supervision
   Limited work in progress
   Lesser flexibility in production schedules.


                              Nishant Wasatkar MOM
   Process production is characterized by
    manufacture of a single product produced
    and stocked.
   Special purpose machines with built in
    controls
   Highly mechanized materials handling
   Virtually zero manufacturing cycle time
   Low skilled labor
   Supervisor to be process specialist
   Negligible work in progress

                            Nishant Wasatkar MOM
Nishant Wasatkar MOM
   High product variety require highly skilled
    labor, general purpose machinery, detailed &
    sophisticated production planning & control
    systems.
   Low product variety enables the use of low
    skilled labor, highly automated mass
    production processes using special purpose
    machinery and simple production planning &
    control systems

   Fixed cost are high for continuous process &
    low for intermittent process
   While variable costs are more for intermittent
    process & less for continuous process.
   Intermittent process therefore will be cheaper
    to install and operate at low volumes &
    continuous process will be economical to use
    at high volumes.

   Flexibility implies ability of manufacturing
    system to manufacture variety of products.
   Greater flexibility will be achieved in
    intermittent production which also results in
    higher inventories, long mfg lead times &
    complex planning & control.




                              Nishant Wasatkar MOM
   Efficiency measures the speed and the cost of
    manufacturing system.
   Depending on sales volume & product variety
    process has to be considered which will give
    the best efficiency in terms of machines &
    manpower utilization.
   Environment brings new technologies, as
    market preferences change the
    manufacturing system has to be changed
    accordingly. E.g. Furniture manufacturer.

  • 24. Short runs  Skilled labor in specific trades  Supervisor to possess knowledge of a specific process.  General purpose machines & process type layout.  Manual material handling  Mfg cycle time affected due to queues  Large work in progress  Flexibility of production schedules  Need to have production planning & control. Nishant Wasatkar MOM
  • 25. Continuous flow of materials  Special purpose machines & product type layout  Mechanized materials material handling  Low skilled labor  Short manufacturing cycle time  Easy supervision  Limited work in progress  Lesser flexibility in production schedules. Nishant Wasatkar MOM
  • 26. Process production is characterized by manufacture of a single product produced and stocked.  Special purpose machines with built in controls  Highly mechanized materials handling  Virtually zero manufacturing cycle time  Low skilled labor  Supervisor to be process specialist  Negligible work in progress Nishant Wasatkar MOM
  • 28. High product variety require highly skilled labor, general purpose machinery, detailed & sophisticated production planning & control systems.  Low product variety enables the use of low skilled labor, highly automated mass production processes using special purpose machinery and simple production planning & control systems Nishant Wasatkar MOM

  • 30. Fixed cost are high for continuous process & low for intermittent process  While variable costs are more for intermittent process & less for continuous process.  Intermittent process therefore will be cheaper to install and operate at low volumes & continuous process will be economical to use at high volumes.

  • 32. Flexibility implies ability of manufacturing system to manufacture variety of products.  Greater flexibility will be achieved in intermittent production which also results in higher inventories, long mfg lead times & complex planning & control. Nishant Wasatkar MOM
  • 33. Efficiency measures the speed and the cost of manufacturing system.  Depending on sales volume & product variety process has to be considered which will give the best efficiency in terms of machines & manpower utilization.  Environment brings new technologies, as market preferences change the manufacturing system has to be changed accordingly. E.g. Furniture manufacturer. Nishant Wasatkar MOM
