Task 11 : ChECk InVENtory


There must be some form of control where inventory is kept in order with high level of accuracy. 


Businesses could keep:
                1. Forecasted quantity of products (MTS)
                2. Made to order (MTO)

Among the advantages & disadvantages between the two methods of keeping stocks:
1.       Made to Stock
ü  Advantage:  Product available when customers order.
ü  Disadvantage: High value stocks.   Product may not be sold due to obsolesce.

2.   Made to Order
ü  Advantage : Minimum value stocks
ü  Disadvantage: Product not available during customer order.  Long lead time

Where do we find the quantity of inventory required by customer?
ü   Files
ü   Excel
ü  System
ü  Store
ü  Bin card

Check raw material Inventory
       Once it is determined that the product customer ordered is not in stock, then the person in charge needs to check if raw materials are available to manufacture the product.

Just In Time
ü  is an inventory strategy implemented to improve the  return on investment of a business by reducing in-process inventory and its associated costs
ü  The process is driven by a series of signals, or Kanban.
ü  Kanban also tell production processes when to make the next part.
ü  Advantages:
·         New stock is ordered when stock drops to the re-order level. This saves warehouse space and costs.
ü  Disadvantage:
·         One drawback of the JIT system is that the re-order level is determined by historical demand.

Task 10: Production Control Plan

Control Of Production and service provision :

Plan and  carry out production and services under controlled conditions which shall include the:
- Availability of information that describes the product characteristics.

- Availability of work instructions

- use of suitable equipment

- Availability and use of monitoring and measure devices

-Implementation of monitoring and measurement

- Implementation of release, delivery and post-delivery activities.


Develop Control Plan for :
- for systems, subsystem, component or materials level for the product supplied.

- pre-launch and production taking into account design and manufacturing FMEA outputs.

Control Plan include :
 - control for manufacturing processes

- customer required information

- methods to monitor over special characteristics

- the reaction plan

- review and  update control plan





Task 9: Work INstrucTion


Work INstrucTion ( wi )

The Benefits:

  • Effective communication- if the boss is away, staff simply refer to the WI or SOP for instruction
  • Provides clear and easy to understand instructions.
  • Useful when training new or temporary staff
  • Reduces the possibility of mistakes being made
  • Information in writing is less likely to be forgotten or misunderstood.
Procedures or Work Instructions

What is a Procedure?

  • A procedure is a written instruction that describes what has to be done, by whom, when, how and where. 
  • Standard work instructions are used to maintain and improve productivity, quality and safety.
  • Used as part of lean and kaizen initiatives  

Why Use Procedures?

There are usually four ways that a job can be performed:

  • What people think is being done;
  • What is actually being done “most of the time”
  • The short cut; or
  • What should be done.

Writing Work Instructions

  • Writing procedures require people to think about what they do, how they do it, why they do it and to what standard.
  •  People often find this an interesting exercise, and come to realise that the so-called “straight forward jobs”.

Steps to follow

  1. Write down in simple steps, what actions you take when carrying out the job or activity.
  2. Review the steps you have recorded and check that all the important steps are need.
  3. Number each step in order in which it occurs (eg. 1, 2, 3…..)

ü  Manufacturing is the application of tools and a processing medium to the transformation of raw materials into finished goods for sale.

        Complete Knock Down (CKD) 





          CUSTOMER ORDER
          In general, a customer would place an order for Finished Goods.
        In Electronic components trading a resistor would be considered as FG but in Electronic appliance Factory the same resistor could be raw material
