What is production management system?
A production management system is a system that supports the efficiency of management and problem solving in manufacturing operations.
By centrally managing information related to manufacturing such as design, production, and sales, the latest information can be effectively used.
A production management system is a collection of systems required for each production process and has the following basic functions.
① Production plan management (progress management, process management)
Plan which products will be produced, when, how much, and at what cost.
Progress management and process management are required. It can be managed in detail by the production scheduler.
② Material management
It is possible to calculate the cost of purchasing raw materials by managing the purchasing of raw materials
③ Sales management
You will be able to understand and predict the sales volume of the product you created.
④ Manufacturing management
It will be field workload management.
⑤ Inventory management
It manages when the inventory of the products made was made and where they are stored.
⑥ Cost management
It will be possible to know the actual cost in the manufacturing process.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Implementing Production Management Systems
Benefits include the following:
① Time Efficiency: Reduce lead time in manufacturing processes and improve efficiency in simple tasks.
② Cost savings: Reduce production costs by reducing administrative costs and inventory.
The disadvantage is that if the system is stopped, the manufacturing will also be stopped.
It is necessary to have a loophole in place so that production does not stop even if the system is shut down.
