BBG 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 26: Production Control, Lean Manufacturing, Mass Customization
Document Summary
Form utility the value producers add to materials in the creation of finished goods and services. Grove"s basic production requirements: to build and deliver products in response to the demands of the customer at the scheduled delivery time, to provide an acceptable quality level, to provide everything at the lowest possible cost. Process manufacturing the part of production that physically or chemically changes materials. Assembly process the part of the production process that puts together components. Production processes are either continuous or intermittent. Continuous process long production runs turn out finished goods over time. Intermittent process production runs are short and the producer adjusts machines frequently to make different products. Developments making us companies more competitive: computer-aided design and manufacturing, flexible manufacturing, lean manufacturing, mass customization. Computer-aided design (cad) the use of computers in the design of products. Computer-aided manufacturing (cam) the use of computers in the manufacturing of products.
