Nature of Manufacturing Operations Globalisation Rapid Product Cycles Widespread proliferation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
The Realities of Modern Manufacturing Globalization - Once underdeveloped countries (e.g., China, India, Mexico, Brazil) are becoming major players in manufacturing International outsourcing - Parts and products once made locally are now being made offshore (in China or India) or near-shore (in Eastern Europe) Local outsourcing - Use of suppliers locally to provide parts and services
More Realities of Modern Manufacturing Contract manufacturing - Companies that specialize in manufacturing entire products, not just parts, under contract to other companies Trend toward the service sector Quality expectations - Customers, both consumer and corporate, demand products of the highest quality Need for operational efficiency - manufacturers must be efficient in in their operations to overcome the labor cost advantage of international competitors
Globalization Design Product Manufacturing
Costs Transport Labour Local standards / cultures / law Demand – supply and supply chain management (SCM)
Production strategies Assemblies Fully knocked down Semi knocked down Parts / design replacements Quality and functionality
Breaking Down Barriers
Traditional Product Development Customer requirements (sales and marketing)
Conceptual design (Industrial designers)
Detailed design and analysis (engineering)
Manufacturing
Distribution and Sales
and Service
(Now is increasingly relevant)
Disposal ?
Concurrent Product Development Design
Engineering Customer
Sales
Manufacturing
Concurrent Engineering Simultaneous decision making by design teams Integrates product design & process planning Details of design more decentralized Needs careful scheduling - tasks done in parallel
Concurrent Engineering Teams Interdisciplinary, cross-functional Includes customer, marketing, design, engineering, manufacturing, sales, Concurrent engineering teams are physically colocated to promote collaboration
Sequential Vs. Concurrent Product Development Activity A Sequential
Activity B Activity C Time to market
Concurrent Competitive Advantage!
Conventional Collaboration Communication
face-to-face discussion, memos, telephone, whiteboard, bulletin board, wall charts, etc.
Collaboration
meetings, colocated workgroup
Knowledge management
notebooks, binders, printed reports, photocopies, drawings, forms, data files
Geographically Distributed Teams
Enterprise data and information
Company A
Transparent global network
Company B
Virtual Collaboration Communication
fax, telephone, mail email, discussion groups, shared whiteboard, videoconferencing
Collaboration
application sharing, shared network workspace (files in shared directories)
Knowledge management
Product data management system, document management system, distributed databases

Industrial Automation - why? 1. Production Systems 2. Automation in Production Systems 3. Manual Labor in Production Systems 4. Automation Principles and Strategies 5. Organization of the Course
Manufacturing Approaches Automation Flexible manufacturing Quality programs Integration Lean production
Facilities – Factory and Equipment Factory, production machines and tooling, material handling equipment, inspection equipment, and computer systems that control the manufacturing operations
Manufacturing Systems Business functions - sales and marketing, order entry, cost ing, customer billing Product design - research and development, design engineering, prototype shop Manufacturing planning - process planning, production planning, MRP, capacity planning Manufacturing control shop floor control,
inventory control, quality control
Computer Integrated Manufacturing
Automated System Periodic Automated Examples: Worker System Automated machine tools Transfer lines Automated assembly systems Transformation Process Industrial robots Automated material handling and storage systems Automatic inspection systems for quality control
Three Automation Types
Variety
Programmable Automation
Flexible Automation
Quantity
Fixed Automation
Fixed Automation Sequence of processing (or assembly) operations is fixed by the equipment configuration Typical features: Suited to high production quantities High initial investment for custom-engineered equipment High production rates Relatively inflexible in accommodating product variety
Programmable Automation Capability to change the sequence of operations through reprogramming to accommodate different product configurations Typical features: High investment in programmable equipment Lower production rates than fixed automation Flexibility to deal with variations and changes in product configuration Most suitable for batch production Physical setup and part program must be changed between jobs (batches)
Flexible Automation System is capable of changing over from one job to the next with little lost time between jobs Typical features: High investment for custom-engineered system Continuous production of variable mixes of products Medium production rates Flexibility to deal with soft product variety
Reasons for Automating 1. 2. 3. 4.
5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
To increase labor productivity To reduce labor cost To mitigate the effects of labor shortages To reduce or remove routine manual and clerical tasks To improve worker safety To improve product quality To reduce manufacturing lead time To accomplish what cannot be done manually To avoid the high cost of not automating
Automation Principles 1. Understand the existing process
Input/output analysis Value chain analysis Charting techniques and mathematical modeling
2. Simplify the process
Reduce unnecessary steps and moves
3. Automate the process
Ten strategies for automation and production systems Automation migration strategy
Automation Strategies 1. Specialization of operations 2. Combined operations 3. Simultaneous operations 4. Integration of operations 5. Increased flexibility 6. Improved material handling and storage 7. On-line inspection 8. Process control and optimization 9. Plant operations control 10.Computer-integrated manufacturing
