- The Manufacturing System is designed for make to order, assemble to order, and
- make to stock manufacturers. These manufacturers include Fabrication, Machine
- Shops, Equipment Assembly, and Manufacturing Cells. The planning, scheduling,
- loading, starting, processing, and closing out of manufacturing activities is
- based on current customer job start and activity dates and quantities shown on
- the Master Production Schedule. The Master Production Schedule initiates Just
- in Time manufacturing methods. Just in Time reduces the time and cost involved
- in manufacturing by maintaining a minimum amount of work in process inventory,
- while managing valuable resources, consistent with a level operating
- schedule
-
- Just in Time provides a pull system which shows work centers what jobs need to
- be worked on next and when jobs are needed at the next work center. The Master
- Production Schedule provides the start date of the finished item while the Work
- Center Schedule provides the best possible start date for lover level
- components and operations. As the Master Production Schedule changes so do the
- start dates of related components and operations at each workcenter. Jobs are
- worked on at each work center as they are needed to meet higher level
- commitments and inventory at each work center is kept at a minimum.
