Production Systems: Click To Edit Master Subtitle Style

The document discusses four main types of production systems: job shop production, batch production, mass production, and continuous production. Job shop production involves manufacturing low volumes of customized products. Batch production produces limited quantities of products in regular intervals. Mass production uses standardized processes to produce high volumes of products continuously on an assembly line. Continuous production fully automates material handling through a dedicated sequence of operations with no flexibility.

Classification of production systems

2/1/13

JOB SHOP PRODUCTION


Job shop production are characterised by manufacturing of one or few quantity of products designed and produced as per the specification of customers within prefixed time and cost. The distinguishing feature of this is low volume and high variety of products.

JOB SHOP PRODUCTION


Characteristics The Job-shop production system is followed when there is: High variety of products and low volume.

JOB SHOP PRODUCTION

Following are the advantages of job shop production: Because of general purpose machines and facilities variety of products can be produced. Operators will become more skilled and competent, as each job gives 2/1/13

JOB SHOP PRODUCTION

Following are the limitations of job shop production: Higher cost due to frequent set up changes. Higher level of inventory at all levels and hence higher inventory cost. 2/1/13

BATCH PRODUCTION

Batch production is defined by American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) as a form of manufacturing in which the job passes through the functional departments in lots or batches and each lot may have a different routing. It is characterised by the manufacture of limited number of products produced at regular 2/1/13 intervals and stocked awaiting sales.

BATCH PRODUCTION

Characteristics Batch production system is used under the following circumstances: When there is shorter production runs.

BATCH PRODUCTION

Advantages Following are the advantages of batch production: Better utilisation of plant and machinery.
2/1/13

BATCH PRODUCTION

Limitations Following are the limitations of batch production: Material handling is complex because of irregular and longer flows.

2/1/13

MASS

PRODUCTION

Manufacture of discrete parts or assemblies using a continuous process are called mass production. This production system is justified by very large volume of production. The machines are arranged in a line or product layout. Product and process standardisation exists and all outputs follow the same path.

MASS

PRODUCTION

Characteristics Mass production is used under the following circumstances: Standardisation of product and process sequence.

MASS

PRODUCTION

Advantages Following are the advantages of mass production: Higher rate of production with reduced cycle time.

MASS

PRODUCTION

Limitations Following are the limitations of mass production: Breakdown of one machine will stop an entire production line.
2/1/13

CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION

Production facilities are arranged as per the sequence of production operations from the first operations to the finished product. The items are made to flow through the sequence of operations through material handling devices such as conveyors, transfer devices, etc.
2/1/13

CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION

Characteristics Continuous production is used under the following circumstances: 1. Dedicated plant and equipment with zero flexibility 2.Material handling is fully 2/1/13 automated.

CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION

Advantages Following are the advantages of continuous production: Standardisation of product and process sequence.
2/1/13

CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION

Limitations Following are the limitations of continuous production:

Flexibility to accommodate and process number of products does not exist.
