Production Plan
Production Plan
(OP)
Hi All,
I needed some information on BOM and "Production Plans' or Manufacturing Plans" as to like
1. What are the different types of Production plans ( if there exists a classification ) ?
1.a How are production plans generally organised ?
2. How are Production plans linked to BOM ( Bill Of Materials) , Is it through the MPS ( Master Production Schedule ) , to be more elaborate if I have the BOM, then how do i link this BOM to the work plan.
3. How do large automotive Cos. manage linking of PDM and BOM systems ?

RE: Production Plan
Initial: Identify the key Production personnel to be involved in the launch. This could include people from procurement, Quality, Manufacturing, Service, Manufacturing Engineering, Scheduling, and facilities.
Design: As the design begins, you have activities such as supplier identification/qualification, facilities involvement (where will it be built), manufacturing engineering (how will it be built and likely for how much), and quality
Development: Similar to above with the goals of identifying the initial BOM, build/test equipment to support the development process. Component ISIRs and service plans get established. (Basically everything the complete beauracracy needs to have in order to function) At the end of this phase, anticipated pilot runs could be done using a developed BOM and some partial scheduling. Engineering retains control over procurement and schedule.
Test: Involves product compliance testing, tooling and test equipment qualification and a shakedown of the production processes (capability etc). By this time, the BOM should be ready for release and a schedule should be in place (ramp up).
Launch: Pretty much turning the "switch" to formally released drawings (place them under ECO control), and the Master Production Schedule establishes the work pace.

RE: Production Plan
- Yearly production plans serve for determining capacity demand: decision for investment in equipment and, partly, in manpower are based on this plans
- Monthly production plans are important for purchasing of materials (this is where BOM plays main role). Even in JIT manufacturing purchasing is planned on monthly basis, and is being revised on weekly basis only when critical need occurs.
- Weekly production plans are important for operative planning: manpower distribution, organizinng of shifts. Compliance with monthly BOM must be monitored continually, in order to make urgent modifactions/PO's if it is really necessary.
