2. Introduction What is Manufacturing? Raw Material => Finished Goods Use tools, human labor, machinery, and chemical processing

3. Introduction Elements of Manufacturing: Costs (Fixed and Variable Costs) Break-even Quality Quantity On-Time

4. Introduction Elements of Manufacturing: Costs (Fixed and Variable Costs) Break-even Quality Quantity On-Time

5. Introduction Types of Manufacturing: Batch Continuous Flow

6. Manufacturing Flow The flow of raw material – Accessories, Fabrics etc. The flow of work-in-process – Cut Panel, WIP etc. The flow of finished goods The flow of operators The flow of machines The flow of information – Quality Standards, WI etc. The flow of engineering – Line balancing, Process Improvements

7. Barriers to Flow Examples of Physical Barriers to Flow: Distance: Items are collected and shipped in bulk Long Setup Times: C hangeover takes a long time, larger batches are run Batch-Oriented Machines: Some machines are designed to be most efficient with large runs. Poor Maintenance: Machines break down frequently. Examples of Intangible Barriers to Flow: Unreliable Deliveries: No confirmation that parts will arrive on time, extras are kept on hand Unreliable Quality: If many parts will be rejected or will require rework, extras will be kept on hand Approval Processes: A pprover is seldom standing by, so work is piled up until get the go-ahead. Lack of Faith: Some people just don’t believe flow is possible, so don’t even try Resistance to Change: Some people think flow might work, but like things to stay the same.

8. Solutions Map the process Identify and log all problems process owners experience Identify all waste in the current process Map an ideal state – the perfect process achieved in absence of all constraints Develop an action plan Actively monitor the new processes put into place by creating performance measures
