1 Manufacturing Strategy

You'll begin the first lesson by exploring the essential area of manufacturing strategy. You'll consider a firm as a system, look at a few key strategic terms, and talk about market analysis. Then, you'll review the background of manufacturing strategy and discuss its foundation. Finally, you'll finish up by identifying what's involved in developing and implementing a manufacturing strategy and investigating strategic choices.

2 Demand Forecasting

If there's one area that's caused problems for manufacturers over the years, it's forecasting. In this lesson, you'll start with the characteristics of forecasting and see how you can use a qualitative, quantitative, or a hybrid approach that follows certain types of rules. Then, the lesson will discuss the requirements for developing and implementing a sound forecast, exploring how to forecast new products. You'll finish by examining various ways to control your forecasts.

3 Planning

Now that you have a good understanding of manufacturing strategy and demand forecasting, you need to perform manufacturing planning. Planning is a pervasive activity; it gives rise to just about everything. This lesson will talk about how planning and control work together, discuss the nature of manufacturing planning, and explore a few planning techniques, including Gantt charts and the network diagram scheduling method.

4 Purchasing

Purchasing employees contribute greatly to the success of manufacturing organizations. Every dollar saved by purchasing equals a dollar of profit. It's too bad that many firms don't realize the value of purchasing. They view it as a clerical function-simply a matter of sending purchase orders to suppliers. In this lesson, you'll take a whirlwind tour through the world of purchasing. The lesson will briefly discuss the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), look at the way for purchasing to be proactive instead of reactive, and explore the seven steps of the purchasing cycle.

5 Lean Manufacturing

This lesson will discuss lean manufacturing. This topic has an interesting history; it originated from Henry Ford's operations in the United States in the early 1900s. Japanese industry popularized it in the 1970s, and it was later introduced in the Western world as just-in-time (JIT) during the early 1980s. By the early 1990s, the terms lean production or lean manufacturing began to appear. Few firms use the JIT label these days. So, "lean manufacturing" it is. The lesson will discuss its benefits and the various elements of it, starting with good housekeeping (5S) and concluding with quality at the source. After that, it will close with a discussion on how to implement lean manufacturing.

6 Production and Inventory Control

Someone once called production and inventory control (P & IC) "organized foresight plus corrective hindsight." It begins with receipt of a sales order and ends with delivery to the customer. It requires knowledge of what should happen and what did happen. For many years, P & IC personnel have played a valuable role in completing manufacturing schedules and satisfying customers. So, in this lesson, you'll examine the primary duties of P & IC: master production scheduling, shop floor scheduling, production activity control, material requirements planning, and inventory management.

7 Capacity Planning

Of all the concepts that have been discussed so far, none is more important than capacity. After all, if you don't have sufficient capacity, you won't manufacture much! This lesson will start out with an overview of capacity and define a few terms, including design and effective capacity, and actual output. You'll explore how rough-cut capacity planning and capacity requirements planning (CRP) help measure available capacity. Then, you'll move on and examine a few capacity-use strategies as they relate to customer demand, technology, and other variables. You'll finish up by discussing three essential tools to help with capacity management: break-even analysis, decision trees, and decision theory.

8 Manufacturing Engineering

This lesson is the start of a three-part discussion on how engineering and manufacturing work together. Manufacturing engineering brings a certain level of sophistication to a production environment. You'll take a tour through the manufacturing engineering function, starting with its history, its relationship with other departments, and its major functions. Then, you'll explore the essential activity of process planning and review the various elements. You'll also examine key manufacturing engineering focus areas including computer-aided process planning (CA
