1. Production processes.
The set of actions leading to the creation of a product is called the production process.
The set of actions leading to the creation of simple parts is called a simple process.
The set of actions leading to the creation of a finished product is called complex.
The production process is divided into: service, auxiliary and main.
Everything that provides the ability to perform auxiliary and basic processes is classified as service.
Everything that is created to ensure or facilitate the implementation of the main process is considered auxiliary.
All processes, including technological and natural, as a result of which the final product appears, are attributed to the main ones.
The production process of the enterprise is complex, therefore it is divided into smaller ones that can be localized by some degree of completeness.
Further, they are divided into technological operations, which are characterized by the locality of execution at one workplace, with one tool.
Technological operations also have their own classification.
Depending on the variety of technological operations and their complexity, the production process is divided into simple and complex.
2. Modeling.
Any production is a complex and expensive system that takes a long time to build.
Before starting the creation of production, they always simulate the processes of this system, because possible errors or miscalculations will be very expensive, up to the complete closure of production.
Modeling of production processes includes:
- definition, description and documentation of processes
- critical analysis of processes for optimality
- Definition of measures to optimize processes
The purpose of the simulation:
- improving product quality
- lower production costs
- manageability and forecasting
Enlarged, modeling consists of three stages:
- analysis of facts
- diagnostics and conclusions
- solutions
3. Organization of production.
Methods of organizing the production process - this is the basis that determines and depends on which the efficiency of using the resources available to the enterprise with the maximum benefit.
There are three methods:
Method 1: Streaming.
It is used if necessary or advisable to use conveyor production.
Key features: sequential execution of various operations; the smallest elaboration of the interaction of all operating points at a single point in time; full consistency of loading and shipment of raw materials, materials and finished products; continuous working condition of all tools and conveyor mechanisms.
Main disadvantages: low flexibility of production; monotony of labor of workers.
Method 2: Partionic.
It is used when necessary or expedient to create mass production.
Key features: parallel execution of various operations on various batches of the product; complete set of finished product from nodes of various parties.
Main disadvantages: regular equipment readjustment.
Method 3: Single.
It is used if necessary or advisable to manufacture the final product in small, single quantities or to produce a unique product.
Main characteristics: uniqueness or universality of technology and equipment; highly and broadly qualified personnel, their interchangeability; complex supply of production.
The main disadvantages: high cost of the finished product.
In conditions of fierce competition , production efficiency is ensured by integrated, software methods.
