CPIM (PART 2) 451-500
Process flow production - answer A production approach with minimal interruptions in
the actual processing in any one production run or between production runs of similar
products.
Queue time is virtually eliminated by integrating the movement of the product into the
actual operation of the resource performing the work.
process flow scheduling - answer A generalized method for planning equipment usage
and material requirements that uses the process structure to guide scheduling
calculations. Used in the flow environments common in process industries.
process focused - answer A type of manufacturing organization in which both plant and
staff management responsibilities are delineated by the production process.
process manufacturing - answer Production that adds value by mixing, separating,
forming, and/or performing chemical reactions.
process train - answer A representation of the flow of materials through a process
industry manufacturing system that shows equipment and inventories.
processor-dominated scheduling - answer A technique that schedules equipment
(processor) before materials.
product configuration catalog - answerA listing of all upper-level configurations
contained in an end-item product family.
product cost - answerCost allocated by some method to the products being produced.
product focused - answerA type of manufacturing organization in which both plant and
staff responsibilities are delineated by product, product line, or market segment.
product group forecast - answerA forecast for a number of similar products.
product line - answerA group of products associated by function, consumer group,
distribution channel, manufacturing characteristics, or price range. Typically reflects the
marketing and sales aspects of a product or service (similar in customer needs) and
used in aggregate planning, marketing, costing, and sales planning. See: product
family, product group.
product load profile - answerA listing of the required capacity and key resources needed
to manufacture one unit of a selected item or family. The resource requirements are
, further defined by a lead-time offset to predict the impact of the product on the load of
the key resources by specific time period.
The ____________________ can be used for rough-cut capacity planning to calculate
the approximate capacity requirements of the master production schedule. See: bill of
resources, resource profile, rough-cut capacity planning.
product mix - answerThe proportion of individual products that make up the total
production or sales volume.
product positioning - answerThe marketing effort involved in placing a product in a
market to serve a particular niche or function.
product profiling - answer1) A graphical device used to ascertain the level of fit between
a manufacturing process and the order-winning criteria of its products. Can be used at
the process or company level to compare the manufacturing capabilities with the market
requirements to determine areas of mismatch and identify steps needed for
realignment.
2) Removing material around a predetermined boundary by means of numerically
controlled machining. The numerically controlled tool path is automatically generated on
the system.
product/service hierarchy - answerIn sales and operations planning, a general approach
to dividing products or services into families, brands, and subfamilies for various
planning levels. This ensures that a correct top-down or bottom-up approach is taken to
grouping (or aggregating) demand at each subsequent level. Forecasts are more
accurate the higher up the __________________ _________.
production activity control (PAC) - answerThe function of routing and dispatching the
work to be accomplished through the production facility and of performing supplier
control.
production capability - answer1) The highest sustainable output rate that could be
achieved for a given product mix, raw materials, worker effort, plant, and equipment. 2)
The collection of personnel, equipment, material, and process segment capabilities. 3)
The total of the current committed, available, and unattainable capability of the
production facility. The capability includes the capacity of the resource.
production forecast - answerA projected level of customer demand for a feature (option,
accessory, etc.) of a make-to-order or an assemble-to-order product. Used in two-level
master scheduling, it is calculated by netting customer backlog against an overall family
or product line master production schedule and then factoring this product's available-
to-promise by the option percentage in a planning bill of material.
production level - answerSyn: production rate. The rate of production usually expressed
in units, cases, or some other broad measure, expressed by a period of time, e.g., per
hour, shift, day, or week.
