Q.1 Explain the flow of information in a production process.

Answer: The production process is concerned with transforming a range of inputs into those outputs that are required by the market. This involves two main sets of resources - the transforming resources, and the transformed resources.

Communication flows in 5 main directions-

·         Downward

·         Upward

·         Lateral

·         Diagonal

·         External

Q.2 what are the various techniques of costing?

Answer: Methods of costing, following are the types of costing techniques which are used by management only for controlling costs and making some important managerial decisions.

1. Marginal Costing: Marginal costing is a technique of costing in which allocation of expenditure to production is restricted to those expenses which arise as a result of production, e.g., materials, labor, direct expenses and variable overheads. Fixed overheads are excluded in cases where production varies because it may give misleading results. The technique is

Q.3 Explain any TEN features of the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system.

Answer: Advanced planning and scheduling (APS, also known as advanced manufacturing) refers to a manufacturing management process by which raw materials and production capacity are optimally allocated to meet demand. APS is especially well-suited to environments where simpler planning methods cannot adequately address complex trade-offs between competing priorities. Production scheduling is intrinsically very difficult due to the (approximately) factorial dependence of the size of the solution space on the number of items/products to be manufactured.

Visual Scheduling

Q.4 what are the rules for scheduling Kanban production?

Answer: Kanban is a scheduling system for lean and just-in-time (JIT) production. Kanban is a system to control the logistical chain from a production point of view, and is an inventory control system. Kanban was developed by Taiichi Ohno, an industrial engineer at Toyota, as a system to improve and maintain a high level of production. Kanban is one method to achieve JIT.

A pull system is where processes are based on customer demand. The concept is that each process manufactures each component in line with another department to build a final part to the exact expectation of delivery from the customer. Because your production process is designed to produce only what is deliverable, your business becomes

Q.5 What are factors must be considered while implementing a production planning and control system?

Answer: In any manufacturing industry, production is the driving force to which most other functions react. The changing business environment in which pharmaceutical manufacturers are acting creates the need for more effective production processes planning and control methods, which are able to deal with uncertainties in internal processes and external deliveries. In this article we have briefly highlighted the challenges and factors affecting Production Planning and

Q.6 Mention the reasons why manufacturing organizations choose Excel and Visual Basic prototype as planning and scheduling tools.

Answer: Microsoft Excel is one of the greatest, most powerful, most important software applications of all time. Many in the industry will no doubt object. But it provides enormous capacity to do quantitative analysis, letting you do anything from statistical analyses of databases with hundreds of thousands of records to complex estimation tools with user-friendly front ends. And unlike traditional statistical programs, it provides an intuitive interface that lets you see what happens to the data as you manipulate them.

As a consequence, Excel is everywhere you look in the bu
