Production Control : Discrete manufacturing life cycle
The production of products, a process that is also known as the production life cycle, follows specific steps that are required to complete the manufacture of an item. The life cycle begins with the creation of the production order, batch order, or kanban ETC.
The Planner, either runs the plans manually or allows the plans to run automatically based on a defined schedule by a batch job.
The Purchasing manager, will create the purchase order for the raw materials from a vendor, preferably an approved or preferred vendor because there might be trade agreements to secure the purchase price for a specified time.
The Warehouse manager, plans and allocates tasks to warehouse workers to prepare the locations in the warehouse. The raw materials arrive and are registered in Supply Chain Management, and then a warehouse worker receives raw materials by placing them in a proper location.
The Production manager, along with the Production floor (shop floor) manager, assigns operators to specific production orders on a machine to perform the job. The Production manager can also receive an overview of the resources and their use in the resource overview forms and by using the Gantt chart for optimizing the production plan.
By using time and attendance, the Production floor (shop floor) manager can schedule production orders based on availability of resources.
The Machine operator, uses the job card terminal or job card device, which is a part of the Manufacturing execution module, to register when they start and ends a job, enter the quantity completed, and log error quantities for each production job.
When the production is reported as finished, the quality control team might need to test the finished goods prior to changing the status of the production order to End.
When the production order is ended, the Warehouse manager will dedicate a warehouse worker to move the finished goods to a location for outbound processing, such as a place to pick, pack, and ship to the customer.
The Order processor can then invoice the customer upon delivery of the goods.
Master Planning Role :In simple terms, when requirements are not met by current inventory, a planned production order is issued that specifies what is needed and when.
BOMs to track and plan which components are required to produce a product.
