Function: Production execution control

The objective of this process is to deliver the right materials and tools to the shop floor on time. For subcontracting, arrangements must be made for transportation. Jobs must be assigned and order documents are distributed. The production order performance is constantly monitored.

Possible disturbances must be solved and corrective action must be taken.

The status of the production order is also constantly monitored, and in the end, the quality must be checked and the order must be closed. Archiving can be performed for each order or periodically.

In this function, a scheduled plan is implemented, which takes into account the current production status.

The required order documents will be printed and the requested tools and materials will be issued to the shop floor. If particular operations will be subcontracted, the subcontracting orders will be generated. Jobs will be assigned to particular resources and the order documents will be distributed. The production orders will be carried out, and the orders will be reported completed by operation and/or by order. This process depends on the amount of control that is required on the production process. The tools that are not consumed during the production process will be returned and some material will be backflushed.

If a detailed reporting of the hours used for production is required, the hours used will be processed. Detailed information about the hours becomes available. Finally, the production order will be closed and archived.

For mixed model flow production environments, the Assembly Control module in LN Manufacturing is used to support the execution of the orders.

Process: Production order execution (MRT) (code: MMN02d)

The production orders are executed by dispatching these orders to the shop floor, followed by monitoring. The objective of the dispatching process is to deliver the right materials and tools to the production line in time. Arrangements must be made for subcontractors. Jobs must be assigned and order documents are distributed. The objective of monitoring is to control the performance together with the production order status.

The following three phases must be monitored:

  • Scheduling phase: Monitoring of hours budgets.
  • Dispatching phase: Are all resources available? If not, corrective action must be taken.
  • Execution phase: The quality must be checked and finally the order must be closed.

Assumptions:

  • The production environment is repetitive.

Process: Production order execution (MJS) (code: MMN02a)

Dispatching to the shop floor, followed by monitoring, carries out the production orders. The objective of the dispatching process is to deliver the right materials and tools to the production line in time. Arrangements must be made for subcontractors. Jobs must be assigned and order documents are distributed. The objective of monitoring is to control the performance together with the production order status.

Assumptions:

  • No assignment of jobs occurs in a repetitive environment.

IT support:

  • LN Manufacturing
Process: Assembly execution (code: MMN02f)

To execute the production orders, you must dispatch the orders to the assembly line, followed by monitoring. The objective of the dispatching process is to deliver the right materials to the assembly line in time. The objective of monitoring is to control the performance together with the assembly order status.

Assumptions:

  • No assumptions apply in this case.
