Conversion Cycle- consists of both physical and information activities related to manufacturing

production for sale.

Context-level Data Flow Diagram- illustrates the central role of the conversion cycle and interactions
with other business cycle.

1. Continuous Processing- homogeneous products

2. Make-to-order Processing- fabricated products

3. Batch Processing- batch products, most common method of production.

Documents in Batch Processing System

1. Production Schedule- formal plan and authorization to begin the production, timetable

2. Bill of Materials- specifies type and quantity of materials

3. Route Sheet- shows production path

4. Work Order - draws from Bom and route sheets specify materials

5. Move Ticket- records work done in each work center

6. Materials Requisition - authorizes storekeeper to release materials

Batch Processing

1. Plan and control production

- material and operation requirements

-production scheduling- second activity of the planning and control function

"Master Schedule- coordinates production of many different batches.

-work centers and storekeeping- obtain materials from storekeeping in exchange for materials
requisition

2. Prepare Production Operation

3. Maintain inventory control

4. Prepare cost accounting

Cost Accounting Activities - record the financial effects of physical events.

Lead time- time between placing an order for inventory and it’s arrival

Economic Order Quantity Model- reduce total inventory costs

Additional inventories Safety Stock


Inventory controls

1. Transaction Authorization

2. Segregation of Duties

3. Supervison

4. Access Control

-direct access to assets

-indirect access to assets

*Prenumbered Documents

5. Accounting Records

6. Independent Verification

"World class"- defines the modern era of business

Lean Manufacturing - doing more with less, eliminating waste, and reducing production cycle time.

-direct opposition of traditional manufacturing.

Lean Production

-improved efficiency and effectiveness.

Toyota Production System based on JIT- Just-in-time production model.

1. Pull Processing- involved pulling products.

2. Perfect Quality- requires zero defects in RM, WIP and FG.

3. Waste Minimization- activities that do not add value and maximize the use of scarce resources.

4. Inventory Reduction- Hallmark of lean manufacturing firms is their success in inventory reduction.

*Inventories cost money

*Inventories camouflage production problems

*Willingness to maintain inventories can precipitate overproduction

5. Production flexibility- long machine set ups

5. Established suppliers relations- establish and operative relationship

6. Team attitude- each employee must be vigilant, include purchasing receiving manufacturing
Manufacturing Flexibility- consumerism

Automation- heart of the lean manufacturing philosophy

Traditional manufacturing - consists of range of different machines, great deal of set up time

Island of Technology- describes an environment in the modern automation exists in the form of islands.

*Computer Numerical Controlled(CNC)- machines that can perform multiple operations.

*Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)- completely automated environment with objective of


eliminating non-value added activities.

*Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)- computer controlled conveyor systems

*Robotics- manufacturing robots are programmed to perform specific actions.

*Computer-Aided Design (CAD)- design better, repetitive design tasks

"manufacturability*

*Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)- assist manufacturing process, focus on shop floor.

Value Stream Mapping- nonessential activities do not and should be eliminated

Value Stream Map- graphically represent their business processes to identify aspects of it that are
wasteful and should be removed.

Deficiencies of standard accounting systems:

1. Inaccurate cost allocations

2. Promotes nonlean behavior

3. Time lag

4. Financial orientation

Activity-Based Costing- method of allocating costs to products and services

*Activities - described the work performed in a firm

*Cost Objects- reasons for performing activities

*Activity driver- measures the activity consumption by cost object.


Value Stream Accounting- captures costs by value Stream rather than activity, includes all costs
associated with product family but makes no distinction.

*Product family- essential aspect in implementing value stream accounting

Materials Requirements Planning (MRP)- limited in focus and geared toward determining how much
raw materials are required, support inventory management.

Materials Requirements Planning II (MRP II)-

evolved from MRP, integrates product manufacturing etc.

Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) takes MRP II a step further by integrating all business
functions into core set of applications, compost of modules reflects industry best practices.
