Overview of Production Systems

Manufacturing scheduling balances client needs and production efficiencies by allocating resources, events, and processes over time. There are two main types of production systems - continuous and intermittent. Continuous systems like flow production and mass production use dedicated machinery to produce uniform outputs continuously, while intermittent systems like batch, job order, and project production use flexible machinery to produce a variety of outputs in smaller quantities based on orders. Key differences between continuous and intermittent systems include dedicated vs flexible machinery, mechanized vs manual material handling, output predictability, and complexity of production control.

MANUFACTURING SCHEDULING

Manufacturing scheduling is the management and


allocation of resources, events and processes to
create goods and services. A business adjusts its
production schedule based on the availability of
resources, client orders and efficiencies. The goal of
manufacturing scheduling is to balance client needs

outputs with the help of processors
A generalised production system can be
represented as:

Types of production systems


Classification

on the basis of output


Three bases considered1. Variety
2. Uniformity
3. Volume per output type

TYPES OF CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION


SYSTEM
[Link] TYPE
Output

cannot be segregated into different units


High degree of uniformity
Output cannot be measured directly
Example-power plant

13

[Link] PRODUCTION
Straight line flow of materials
Output of one stage normally becomes input
for another
Output visible in form of identical units
Standardised output produced in large
quantities
PROBLEMS

2.
3.
.

Balancing of production lines


Machine maintenance
Raw materials supply
Example sugar production

14

Types of intermittent production systems


[Link] PRODUCTION SYSTEM Variety

of products are made in small quantities

Various

products compete for share of machines

Outputs

are aggregated in form of batches

Batches

may comprise of similar or dissimilar outputs

PROBLEMS
1.

Machine-job allocation problem

2.

Determination of economic batch quantity

3.

Scheduling and sequencing of operations

Example electrical goods

15

[Link]-ORDER PRODUCTION SYSTEM

Does not has its own standard product but


accepts whatever customer orders come in

Output identifiable in terms of specific job order

Material flow is very complex

PROBLEMS

1.

Determination of the sequence of processing

Example tailor shop


16

[Link] PRODUCTION SYSTEM


Project is a temporary endeavour having a
defined beginning and end ;undertaken to
meet unique goals and objectives
Project is non repetitive
This type of production system uses resources
on different projects
Product remains fixed and manpower and
facilities put work on it
PERT/CPM can be used for planning and control
in this case
Example- Ship production
