What is Production Plan?
The process of producing a specification or chart of the manufacturing operations to be performed by different functions and workstations over a particular time period. Productionscheduling takes account of factors such as the availability of plant and materials, customer delivery requirements, and maintenance schedules.
Boeing
The Boeing Company
is a majoraerospaceand defense corporation, originallyfounded byWilliam E. BoeinginSeattle,Washington. Boeing has expanded over the years, merging withMcDonnell Douglasin 1997. Itsinternational headquartershas been inChicago,Illinois,USsince 2001. Boeing is the largest globalaircraft manufacturerby revenue, orders and deliveries, and the second-largestaerospaceand defense contractorin the world. Boeing is the largest exporter in the UnitedStates.
The production of 737’s
The first 271 737s were built in Seattle at Boeing Plant 2, just over the road from Boeing Field, (BFI).However, with the sales of all Boeing models falling and large scale staff layoffs in 1969, it was
 
decided to consolidate production of the 707, 727 and 737 at Renton just 5 miles away. In December 1970 the first 737 built at Renton flew and all 737s have been assembled there ever since.However not all of the 737 is built at Renton. For example, since 1983 the fuselage including noseand tailcone has been built at Wichita and brought to Renton by train. Also much of the sub-assembly work is outsourced beyond Boeing.Production methods have evolved enormously since the first 737 was made in 1966. The maindifference is that instead of the aircraft being assembled in one spot they are now on a movingassembly line similar to that used in car production. This has the effect of accelerating production,which not only reduces the order backlog and waiting times for customers but also reducesproduction costs. The line moves continuously at a rate of 2 inches per minute; stopping only for worker breaks, critical production issues or between shifts. Timelines painted on the floor helpworkers gauge the progress of manufacturing.When the fuselage arrives at Renton, it is fitted with wiring looms, pneumatic and air-conditioningducting and insulation before being lifted onto the moving assembly line. Next, the tailfin is lifted intoplace by an overhead crane and attached. Floor panels and galleys are then installed and functionaltesting begins. In a test called the “high blow”, the aircraft is pressurised to create a cabin differentialpressure equivalent to an altitude of 93,000 feet. This ensures that there are no air leaks and thatthe structure is sound. In another test, the aircraft is jacked up so that the landing gear retraction &extension systems can be tested. As the aircraft moves closer to the end of the line, the cabininterior is completed – seats, lavatories, luggage bins, ceiling panels, carpets etc. The final stage isto mount the engines. There are approximately 367,000 parts on a 737 NG.The present build time is now just 11 days (5,500 airplane unit hours of work) with a future target of 6days (4,000 airplane unit hours of work). In Dec 2005 a second production line was opened toincrease the production rate to 31 aircraft a month. By 2007 there was a three year waiting list for new 737s, and an order backlog of over 1,600 aircraft. A third production line is under constructiondedicated to theMMAorder.After construction they make one flight, over to BFI where they are painted and fitted out to customer specifications. It takes about 200ltrs (50USgallons) of paint to paint a 737. This will weigh over 130kg (300lbs) per aircraft, depending on the livery. Any special modifications or conversions (eg for the C40A, AEW&C or MMA) are done at Wichita after final assembly of the green aircraft. Auxiliary
