Manufacturing Systems

Introduction
 Learning Objectives
 Understanding the basis of production systems for
planning, scheduling, and controlling production
quantities and timing.
 A fundamental goal in both industrial and
management programs
 Introductory course to MSE595 Lean Manufacturing
 The objective is to present a current view of
production system design and modeling at a level
appropriate for upper division undergraduates and
beginning graduate students in Manufacturing
Systems Engineering and Management
 Background and Purpose

 Learn about manufacturing, supply chain and logistics

systems consisting of globally distributed enterprises.
 The course covers industrial enterprises, production
systems and the role of inventory, electronics
manufacturing, forecasting systems, concurrent
engineering and design for assembly.
 In addition, students learn about Supply Chain
Management, Quality Function Deployment and
Materials Requirements

 Reading Assignments

 Essential for interaction and understanding

 Read assigned chapter prior to class
 Prepare to discuss issues/questions
 Preparation will make the course more interesting
 Pop-quiz may be given
 Next week’s assignment
• Chapter 1 – The Industrial Enterprise (pp. 1-17)
 Standard Operating Procedures
 Encouraged to maintain personal and professional
standards consistent with The Fundamental Principles
of the Code of Ethics of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET):
• Engineers uphold and advance the integrity, honor and
dignity of the engineering profession by:
• Using their knowledge and skill for the enhancement of human
welfare
• Being honest and impartial, and serving with fidelity the public,
their employers and clients
• Striving to increase the competence and prestige of the
engineering profession
• Supporting the professional technical societies of their
disciplines
 Student Roles & Responsibilities

 Attend class sessions and to be prompt

 Be a team player
 Submit original work only
• I was a student too…
 Be considerate and respectful of one another
 Get the job done right and on time
 Budgeting 5-6 hours per week for this course, in
addition to class attendance, is not unreasonable
Course Overview
 Chapter 1

 Introduces the business firm

 Provides a view of how the various functional areas fit
together to conduct the firm’s business
 Explains the scope and role of the production system
within the firm
 Presents the usefulness and limitations of accounting
data as a source for model parameters
 Chapter 2

 Provides a framework for future study

 Provides important definitions and functions and
components of production systems
 Introduce the basic tradeoffs among inventory, setup
cost, and shortages
 Introduce and illustrate basic principles and laws that
govern the behavior of production systems
• Little’s Law
• Learning curves
 Chapter 4

 Covers long-range strategic planning and the

importance of coordinating information across the
supply chain
 Key factors for specifying manufacturing strategy
 Problems that can occur when information is not
freely exchanged
 Globalization has led to large-scale, long-term
production system design problems that incorporate
transportation and cultural considerations
 Present a discussion of these issues and an
introduction to building decision models in this
environment
 Chapter 5

 Return to the more traditional set of medium-term

aggregated planning models
 Emphasize the use of network models where
appropriate and the general applicability of linear
programming
 Discuss the difficulty in explicitly modeling setup
considerations
 Conclude with a discussion of disaggregation of
medium-term family production schedules into a time-
phased master production schedule for end items
 Chapter 6

 Cover reorder point inventory models

 The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is explored and
extended for time-based criteria, internal
manufacturing, constraints, price breaks, and
stochastic (involving variable) demand
 Present multiple product and new vendor problems
 Address dynamic demand with uncapacitated and
capacitated problems
 Illustrate affiliated managerial topics such as ABC
classification systems for prioritizing items and
exchange curves
 Chapter 7

 Explanation of the basic requirements of a production

authorization mechanism
 Poses several alternative approaches, including pull
and push
 Emphasize pull control strategies
 Describe various kanban systems
 Discuss the impact of variance and dynamic behavior
 Evaluation and description of CONWIP systems
• Just like KANBAN, the CONWIP system limits the
amount of WIP in the system, with the benefits of
reduced cost and shortened lead times
 Chapter 8

 Cover push systems, namely materials requirements

planning (MRP)
 The mechanics of the MRP system
• Advantages and practical limitations
 Show how conceptually simple idea can become
complex and break down quickly in a random,
continuous environment
 Address extentions of MRP to include capacity
requirements planning and enterprise integration
 Chapter 9

 Present more advanced models for multi-item,

multistage planning
 Introduce decomposition strategies and modifications
to cost structures
 Model coordination of batch sizes between stages
and competition for capacity
 More mathematically sophisticated then the other
chapters
 Chapter 10

 Discuss recent developments and consolidation of

ideas into a lean manufacturing paradigm for
eliminating waste and rationalizing procedures in
manufacturing
 Promote fool-proofing of processes, setup time
reduction, efficient facility layout, reduction of
variability, and statistical process control
 Discuss the role of preventive maintenance
 Discuss the usefulness of flow-charting processes
 Chapter 11

 Present shop-floor sequencing and scheduling tools

 Progress from single-machine to two-machine to flow-
shop to job-shop procedures
 Discuss makespan, flowtime, and tardiness objectives
 Show the shifting bottleneck procedure to integrate
previous modeling approaches
 Chapter 12

 Ends the course with a collection of relevant

scheduling topics
 Hierarchical vs. heterarchical control and
requirements for manufacturing execution systems
 Special topics for flow systems
• Line-balancing
• Lot-streaming
• Re-entrant flow scheduling
 Importance of tool management
 Issues associated with flexible manufacturing systems
