3) What is the distinctive feature of job production as compared to mass and batch production system? Production Planning is a managerial function which is mainly concerned with the following important issues: · What production facilities are required? · How these production facilities should be laid out in the space available for production? and · How they should be used to produce the desired products at the desired rate of production? Broadly speaking, production planning is concerned with two main aspects: (i) routing or planning work tasks (ii) layout or spatial relationship between the resources. Production planning is dynamic in nature and always remains in fluid state as plans may have to be changed according to the changes in circumstances. Job Production In this system products are made to satisfy a specific order. However that order may be produced- -only once -at irregular time intervals as and when new order arrives -at regular time intervals to satisfy a continuous demand The following are the important Features of job shop type production system: · Machines and methods employed should be general purpose as product changes are quite frequent. · Planning and control system should be flexible enough to deal with the frequent changes in product requirements. · Man power should be skilled enough to deal with changing work conditions. · Schedules are actually non existent in this system as no definite data is available on the product. · In process inventory will usually be high as accurate plans and schedules do not exist. · Product cost is normally high because of high material and labor costs. · Grouping of machines is done on functional basis (i.e. as lathe section, milling section etc.) · This system is very flexible as management has to manufacture varying product types. · Material handling systems are also flexible to meet changing product requirements. Batch Production Batch production is the manufacture of a number of identical articles either to meet a specific order or to meet a continuous demand. Batch can be manufactured either- -only once -or repeatedly at irregular time intervals as and when demand arise -or repeatedly at regular time intervals to satisfy a continuous demand The following are the important Features of batch type production system: · As final product is somewhat standard and manufactured in batches, economy of scale can be availed to some extent. · Machines are grouped on functional basis similar to the job shop manufacturing. · Semi automatic, special purpose automatic machines are generally used to take advantage of the similarity among the products. · Labor should be skilled enough to work upon different product batches. · In process inventory is usually high owing to the type of layout and material handling policies adopted. · Semi automatic material handling systems are most appropriate in conjunction with the semi automatic machines. · Normally production planning and control is difficult due to the odd size and non repetitive nature of order.
Job Shop Production usually refers to manufacturers that produce items that are "one of a kind", for example, manufactures of automation systems and tooling. Manufacturers who produce a wide variety of items in very low volumes also fall into the job shop category. For example, very large mining trucks are produced in volumes typically less than 400 annually. Each truck has thousands of components so you can imagine that there are significant challenges in production scheduling, purchasing and inventory control with this type of manufacturing company as with all job shops.
Mass production refers to the manufacture of high volumes of a limited range of products. For example, aerosol containers and beer cans fall into this category. In modern mass production plants, a high degree of automation and computerized information technology is used to reduce costs in order to remain competitive. Quality control utilizing statistical methods is very important since a lot of scrap can be generated in a hurry if production processes go out of whack.
Batch production refers to a production control method whereby the range of products manufactured in a plant is made in batches. In the past, large batches of each product were made to gain efficiencies by reducing the amount of non value adding time spent changing over from one product type to another. However, this type of production results in high inventories and excessive lead times. The Toyota Production System was developed to overcome the limitations imposed by changeovers and allows manufacturers to produce in synch with customer demands at a high level of quality and low cost. Its success is obvious as Toyota is likely the best automotive manufacturer in the world today.
Job production is a one time production for a specific order. The opposite of mass production. No order no production.
Batch production is a mass production method where the process wait until a product is finished in a workstation before it was transfer to the next process.
Something distinctive to the US system is that the government has several branches to help everything stay in check. The US system also has very reserved forms of maternity and paternity leave, which is much different than the rest of the world.
