Across
- 3. In production, the production of items only as demanded for use or to replace those taken for use. See: pull signal.
- 6. stock Inventory in the transportation network and the distribution system, including the flow through intermediate stocking points.
- 7. Acronym for cost of goods sold.
- 9. An extreme change in the supply position upstream in a supply chain generated by a small change in demand downstream in the supply chain. Inventory can quickly move from being backordered to being excess. This is caused by the serial nature of communicating orders up the chain with the inherent transportation delays of moving product down the chain. The bullwhip effect can be eliminated by synchronizing the supply chain.
- 11. A facility configuration in which operations of a similar nature or function are grouped together.
- 14. The ability to quickly plan, source, make, and deliver to adapt and respond to changes in the competitive environment.
- 15. "_ Material":Purchased items or extracted materials that are converted via the manufacturing process into components and products.
- 16. manufacturing A type of manufacturing process used for large, often unique, items or structures that require a custom design capability (engineer-to-order). This type of process is highly flexible and can cope with a broad range of product designs and design changes. This process usually uses a fixed-position type layout. See: batch (fourth definition), continuous production, job shop (second definition), process manufacturing, project, repetitive manufacturing.
- 17. A manufacturing or service unit consisting of a number of workstations and the materials transport mechanisms and storage buffers that interconnect them.
- 19. A planned series of actions or operations (e.g., mechanical, electrical, chemical, inspection, or test) that advances a material or procedure from one stage of completion to another.
- 21. The rate at which the system generates goal units. It is always expressed for a given time period, such as per month, week, day, or even minute.
- 22. A chart that shows the operations, transportations, storages, delays, inspections, and so on related to a process, to better understand processes, and they are an output of a flowcharting process. The flowchart is one of the seven tools of quality.
- 24. "_ Stock":In general, a quantity of stock planned to be in inventory to protect against fluctuations in demand or supply.
- 25. production method A production planning method that maintains a stable production rate while varying inventory levels to meet demand.
- 26. The capability of a system to perform its expected function.
- 28. A regular route for pickup of mixed loads from several suppliers.
- 30. In manufacturing, this refers to the jobs at a given work center waiting to be processed
- 32. A facility, function, department, or resource whose capacity is less than the demand placed upon it.
- 33. “_ zone”–In forecasting, the periods when no changes can be made to work orders based on changes in demand. This provides stability to the master production schedule. See: liquid zone, slushy zone.
- 35. Japanese word. The place where humans create value or the real workplace. Gemba also is a philosophy: “Go to the actual place; see the actual work.”
- 37. "_swan":phenomena are highly unlikely events that have massive impacts on a business or society on the rare occasions they occur.
- 38. "_ shop": A type of manufacturing process used to produce items to each customer’s specifications. Production operations are designed to handle a wide range of product designs and are performed at fixed plant locations using general-purpose equipment
Down
- 1. In production, the production of items at times required by a given schedule planned in advance.
- 2. The ability of the manufacturing system to respond quickly, in terms of range and time, to external or internal changes
- 4. In transportation, placing shipments from multiple companies together in the same shipment in order to reduce the costs of each shipment. 2) In production, that action that combines in parallel previously independent processes to reduce the total variance compared with the variances that would occur when the processes were independent.
- 5. “_ diagram”: Cause-and-effect diagram.
- 8. The amount of good or acceptable material available after the completion of a process. It is usually computed as the final amount divided by the initial amount converted to a decimal or percentage.
- 10. A predictable, repetitive pattern of demand measured within a year, during which time the demand grows and declines.
- 12. A production planning method that maintains a stable inventory level while varying production to meet demand.
- 13. "_ map":A diagram of the flow of a production process or service process through the production system. Standardized symbols are used to designate processing, flow directions, branching decisions, input/ output, and other aspects of the process.
- 17. A production system in which the productive equipment is organized and sequenced according to the steps involved to produce the product. This term denotes that material flow is continuous during the production process. The routing of the jobs is fixed, and setups are seldom changed. Syns.: continuous flow (production), continuous manufacturing, continuous process. See: mass production, project manufacturing.
- 18. "_'s Law": When a system has fixed capacity and is relatively stable, the lead time and work-in-process (WIP) inventory level are proportional, and an increase or decrease in either WIP or lead time will produce a proportional change in the other.
- 19. A type of layout in which the good or product is stationary and the workers come to the site to work on it.
- 20. The Japanese term for improvement.
- 23. "_ Serie Analysis: Analysis of any variable classified by time in which the values of the variable are functions of the time periods
- 27. The process of withdrawing from stock the components to make assemblies or finished goods.
- 29. A philosophy of production that emphasizes the minimization of the amount of all the resources (including time) used in the various activities of the enterprise. It involves identifying and eliminating non-value-adding activities in design, production, supply chain management, and customer management.
- 31. "_ Level" A measure (usually expressed as a percentage) of satisfying demand through inventory or by the current production schedule in time to satisfy the customers’ requested delivery dates and quantities.
- 34. Any seller of an item in the marketplace.
- 36. The classification of a group of items in decreasing order of annual dollar volume (price multiplied by projected volume) or other criteria.
