Abstract

T.
In production, the main function is to decide what
production facilities are required, how these production
facilities should be laid out in the space available for
production, and how they should be used to produce
products. Thus the function has two main parts: (1) it
is concerned with ”routing” or planning the sequence of
work, and (2) it is concerned with ~layout” or planning
the spatial relationship between the places where work
is done.
With regard to production planning, the function
concerns with planning, directing and controlling the
methods to be used to make products, and the way in
which the production facilities, building, machines,
equipment, etc. should be laid out in the space
available for production. When choosing the method of
production for an item to be used in an assembled
product, it will be found generally that for each item
there are seven decisions to be made. They are:
1.Whether to make or buy.
2. The material form and shape.
3. The division of thefiwork to be done into operations.
4. The choise of machine, or work centre, on which operation should be done.
5. The sequence in which the operations should be done.
6.The division into work elements.
7. the coice of special tooling.
