T Figure 1 Contents of operations scheduling

While the design department determines the products in terms of their design and
function, the main task of work planning is to determine the manufacturing of these
products. In addition to the necessary machining and assembly steps, it also determines
the necessary operating equipment, such as plants, jigs and tools. This book conveys
classic contents of work planning in a condensed form.
The main content of the short-term work planning, the preparation of a work plan, is
explained in Chapter 2, whereby the necessary steps for the preparation of the work
plan, the blank calculations, the selection of operating equipment, the determination of
technological data and the calculation of target times are discusses here.
Basic terms on product structure, drawing contents and bill of materials formats are
briefly described in Chapter 1.
Chapter 3 focuses on the programming of machine tools according to DIN and PAL.
Finally, there is a compilation of important information on accounting (Chapter 4), with
the emphasis here on costing.
