Which components define the manufacturing process?
When planning a manufacturing process, five main components exist:
1) Equipment and facilities: machines, tooling, equipment and facilities
2) Production methods and processes: procedures, production methods, quality assurance, and production control
3) Materials and material moving and handling: materials and material/tooling handling or moving systems
4) Labour: people
5) End products
In today’s demanding market, modern manufacturing systems are highly complex and computer-dependent using more sophisticated materials and methods. They are increasingly considered ‘closed loop’ systems resulting in an integrated system with little or no variation in the individual components. This requires strict and comprehensive planning procedures in order to stay competitive.
