TOPIC 2. PRODUCTION SYSTEM DESIGN
2.1 Tactical and strategic elements of production system design
- Strategic elements: In the short term they are fixed
- Tactical elements: short-term variations
Strategic elements:
Plant Location: Determine the physical location of the plant.to productive unit
Facility capacity: determine the dimension that allows the volumedesirable production umen.
Aspects to consider:
o Economies of scale
o Market volume
o Flexibility of facilities
o Financial possibilities
Process and technology selection:
o Product features
o Volume to be manufactured
o Technical development sector
- Internal development: can be a considerable costand can
provide competitive advantages (exclusivity)
- External acquisition: affordable cost, does not provide salescompetitive ajas
and technological dependence.
o Manufacturing license: exploitation rightstion
o Manufacturing contract: factory receipt for thetransmitter
o Technical assistance: transfer of knowledge on processes of
manufacturing and organizational
Other service infrastructures: services necessary for daily operations:
- Maintenance of facilities and technology of the projectcessation
- Quality control
- Information system and processing equipmentatos
- Means of transport
Personnel: determines the desirable level of qualification, volume and faceHand features of
work, cost
Tactical elements:
1. Stock management:determine desirable levels to meet time anddemand
of clients
2. Demand forecast: mainly ac/p
3. Production planning: establish a production volume for a
period of a certain time so that they are understoodsales
forecasts
4. Production scheduling and control: establish temporary programming of the
operations necessary to produce productscts
Product relationship to process design
When there is greater acceptance of the product in the market,market:
- Capital has greater weight and intensity
