The sector comprises establishments

engaged in the mechanical, physical, or chemical

transformation of materials, substances, or

components into new products.

(a)  

transform the product from one state of completion

into a more advanced state of completion.

(a)  

are those which give the work material its initial form.

Metal casting and plastic molding are examples in both

cases, the raw materials are convened into the basic

geometry of the desired product.

(a)  

follow the basic process and are performed to give the

work part its final desired geometry Examples in this

category include machining (tuning, drilling, milling,

etc.

(a)  

may be employed to: improve appearance, adhesion or

wettability, solderability, corrosion resistance, tarnish

resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance,

hardness, modify electrical conductivity, remove burrs

and other surface flaws, and control the surface

friction.

(a)  

the distinguishing feature is that two or more separate

components are joined together.

(a)  

A means moving and storing materials between the

processing and assembly operations must be provided.

In most manufacturing plants, materials spend stored

time being moved than being processed.

(a)  

this are generally considered part of

quality control.

(a)  

is generally concerned with the functional

specifications of the final product rather than the

individual parts that go into the product.

(a)  

The control function in manufacturing includes both

the regulation of individual processing and assembly

operations, and the management of plant-level

activities.

(a)  

Managing the supply chain of a manufacturing

business affects the costs and quality of you products.

(a)  

Though your marketing people decide on your

competitive strategy, your manufacturing management

has to support the strategy with appropriate products

(a)  

A key to excellence in manufacturing is to adopt

innovative technology when it helps achieve specific

goals.

(a)  

Different types of manufacturing are carried out most

efficiently within different organizational frameworks.

(a)  

communicates the Primary goals and the culture of the

to the facilities planner.

(a)  

To produce sooner, faster or in

greater quantities than customer demand

(a)  

Raw material, work in progress or finished

goods which is not having value added to it

(a)  

People or parts that wait for a work cycle to

be completed

(a)  

Unnecessary movement of people, parts or

machines within a process

(a)  

Unnecessary movement of people or

parts between processes.

(a)  

Non right first time. Repetition or correction

of a process.

(a)  

Processing beyond the standard

required by the customer.

(a)  

provides a research function that analyzes what the

world's consumers want and need.

(a)  

is the average time between the start of production of

one unit and the start of production of the next unit,

when these production starts are set to match the rate

of customer demand

(a)  

Consist of recyclable materials left over from product

manufacturing and consumption.

(a)  

Define as correcting of defective or failed

(a)  

The company's inventory policy could be as simple as

"provide space for one month supply of raw material,

work in process, and finished goods." JIT and Kanban

philosophies reduce inventory and therefore space,

facilities, and cost.

(a)  

a modern management

philosophy inspired by the Japanese concept of

KAIZEN the strategy of continuous improvement) that

aims to eliminate waste in the production system.

(a)  

A person who said Muda means waste

(a)  

is the time frame between an order being received

and the client getting their value.

- Start of order to delivered

(a)  

is the time your team spends actively working on a

customer order.

(a)  

A German word which means to measure,

cycle or pulse

(a)  

Once up and running, takt time is very easy to

measure. Electronics manufacturers operating lean

production lines will use this tool to ensure as much

"waste" is removed from the process as possible - i.e.

Minimizing the takt time - and monitor performance

very closely.

(a)  

Relates to the number of units the customer requires

each day.

(a)  

Also called work measurement.

(a)  

processes in manufacturing that ensures you have

sufficient raw materials, labor and resources in order

to produce finished products to schedule.

(a)  

Routing is the route or path to be followed during each

step of the manufacturing process.

(a)  

is the management of these

processes to make sure they are completed in a timely

and economical fashion.

(a)  

related to the process if undertaking your

production plan.

(a)  

goods in the most logical and straightforward way

possible.

(a)  

anticipating situations like high demand, shortfall, and

bottlenecks.

(a)  

inefficient spots in the production chain

(a)  

The optimal way to completing orders on time

(a)  

Use your team well. Your people are valuable asset to

your business. They play a key part in manufacturing

process optimization.

(a)  

It may better than doing it with a pen and paper, but excel is

still too labor intensive

(a)  

They are vulnerable to mistakes which cause confusion

and slow production.

(a)  

they do not update automatically. This can lead to

delays as changes are not communicated.
