Sales Forecasts
Back-order report
Determine
production
needs
•Sales forecasts and back-order
report are used to determine
production needs.
(The objective of the planning and
scheduling activity is to develop a
production plan that is efficient
enough to meet existing orders and
anticipated shorter-term demand
while minimizing inventories of
both raw materials and finished
goods.)
•This process is done manually.
Production Planning Department (con’t)
Determine
Production
needs
•The result of the manual process
is production requirements
by products document.

update files
•Two Master files from
Engineering Design
Department and data
from Production
Planning Department
have been used in the
process of preparing
production and
materials needs.
Open production
orders file
Raw materials
inventory file
•The master files are raw materials
inventory file, machine loading file,
and production schedule file.

•This online process requires
the access to three master and
one open file.
**Production
•The open file is open production
order file. At the mean time,
this online process also updates
new data into these files.
Schedule
file
The master production schedule is adjusted to include the new order.
Prepare production and
materials needs, update
files.
*Bills of materials
The process creates 8 documents
that are distributed to different
departments.

*Bill of Materials: Lists the components that are required to
build each product, including part numbers, descriptions, and
quantity. Determines what components need to be ordered.
**Operations List:
Lists the sequence of steps
required to produce each product, including the
equipment needed and the amount of time required.

Bar coding of materials to improve speed and accuracy.
RFID tags can eliminate human intervention in the
scanning process.
Robots and computer-controlled machinery is called
computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM).
Separation of duties for production employees in order to
have checks and balances to deliver products more
accurately.
Activity Based Costing (ABC)

refine and improve cost allocations under either
job-order or process costing systems.
