production and operations management - ANS-the process of overseeing the
production process by managing the people and machinery that convert materials and
resources into finished goods and service
the production process - ANS-1. inputs (resources, raw materials)
2. conversion process (add value
3. outputs (goods and services)
mass production - ANS-a system for manufacturing products in large quantities by using
effective combinations of employees with specialized skills, mechanization, and
standardization; effective for creating large quantities of one item
assembly line - ANS-moves product along a conveyor belt past many workstations,
where workers perform specialized tasks
production strategies - ANS-1. mass production
2. flexible production
3. customer-driven production
flexible production - ANS-more cost-effect for producing smaller runs. Uses three
resources
1. information technology
2. programmable equipment
3. skilled people
customer driven production - ANS-assesses customer demands to make a connection
between the products that are manufactured and the products people want to buy
types of production process - ANS-1. analytic: reduces raw materials to its components

to analyze CAD output and the steps that a machine must take to produce a needed
product or part
Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) - ANS-a production facility that workers can
quickly change to manufacture different products
computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) - ANS-An integrated production system that
uses computers to help workers design products, control machines, handle materials,
and control the production function
factors in location decision - ANS-1. transportation: closeness to markets, closeness to
raw materials, availability of transportation option
2.physical factors: water supply, energy, hazardous waste
3. human factors: labour supply, local zoning regulation, community living conditions,
taxes
