PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

Production management means planning, organising,

directing and controlling of production activities.

Production management deals with converting raw

materials into finished goods or products. It brings
together the 6M's i.e. men, money, machines, materials,
methods and markets to satisfy the wants of the people.
Production management also deals with decision-making
regarding the quality, quantity, cost, etc., of production.

OBJECTIVE OF PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

 RIGHT QUALITY.
 RIGHT QUANTITY.
 PREDETERMINED TIME.
 PRE-ESTABLISHED COST.

Other objectives are :

1. Machinery and Equipment.
2. Materials.
3. Manpower.
4. Supporting Service.
SCOPE & ACTIVITIES OF PM

There are two types of scope & activities of PM :

STRATEGIC LEVEL
o Design & development of new product.
o Process design & Planning
o Facilities location & layout planning
o Design of material handling
o Capacity planning

OPERATIONAL LEVEL
o Production Planning
o Inventory Control
o Product maintenance & replacement
o Cost Control & Cost Reduction
5 P`S OF PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

1. PRODUCTS.
2. PLANT.
3. PROCESS.
4. PROGRAMS.
5. PEOPLE.

 When this five elements integrated a successful

production management takes place.
TYPES OF PRODUCTION

i. BATCH PRODUCTION

ii. MASS & FLOW PRODUCTION

iii. PROCESS PRODUCTION

iv. PROJECT PRODUCTION

iv. JOBBING PRODUCTION

BATCH PRODUCTION

Batch production is the manufacturing of

limited number of product produced at
regular intervals & stocked in warehouse
as finished goods.

 Eg. Chemical , paint & motor vehicles etc.

CHARACTARISTIC OF BATCH
PRODUCTION

1. Short Run.
2. Skilled labours in specific trades
3. Limited span of control
4. General purpose machine and process type layout
5. Manual material handling
6. Manufacturing cycle time affected due to queues
7. Large WIP
8. Flexible production schedule
9. Need to have PPC.
MASS & FLOW PRODUCTION

 Mass as well as flow production are characterized by the

manufacturer of several number of a std product and
stocked in the warehouses as finished goods awaiting
sales. The goods under mass production are
manufactured either at a single operation or a series of
operation on one machine.

 E.g: Assembly shop of automobiles, radios, electric fans.

CHARACTARITIC OF MASS & FLOW
PRODUCTION

 1. Continuous flow of material.

 2. Special purpose m/c and product type layout.
 3. Mechanized material handling.
 4. Low skilled labour.
 5. Short manufacturing cycle time.
 6. Easy supervision.
 7. Limited WIP.
PROCESS PRODUCTION

 Process production is characterized by the manufacture

of single product produced and stocked in the
warehouses awaiting sales.

 Eg: Sugar, Steel, Paper, Cement plants.

CHARACTARITIC OF PROCESS PRODUCTION

1. Special purpose m/c with built in control.

2. Highly mechanized material building.
3. Virtually zero manufacturing time.
4. Low skilled labor.
5. Highly qualified supervisors.
6. Negligible WIP.
7. Limited PPC.
PROJECT PRODUCTION

 Project production is characterized by complex sets of

activities that must be performed in a particular order
within the estimated expenditure.

 Eg: construction of Roads, Buildings etc.

CHARACTARITIC OF PROJECT PRODUCTION

1. Definite beginning & definite end.

2. Non uniform requirement of resources.
3. Involvement of different agencies.
4. Fixed position layout.
5. High cost overrun.
6. Scheduling & control.
JOBBING PRODUCTION

Jobbing production is characterized by the manufacture

of one or few number of a single product designed and
manufactured strictly to customer’s specifications within
the given period and within the price fixed prior to the
contract.
 Eg: general repair shop, tailoring shops.
CHARACTERISTICS OF JOBBING
PRODUCTION
1. Small production runs.
2. Discontinuous flow of materials.
3. Not proportionate manufacture cycle time.
4. Highly skilled labour.
5. Highly competent knowledgeable supervision.
6. Large WIP.
7. Limited function of PPC.
