Key Strategic Initiative

Provide a workbench for each key role in the

Manufacturing and Supply Chain areas

Production Scheduler’s ObjectiveEstablish a Production Schedule that

Meets Requirements– Measurements :

• On Time Production Deliveries– Minimize order lateness

• Short Lead Times– Better Customer Responsiveness

• Minimal Work-In-Process– Reduced inventory investment– Improving quality

• Maximum Utilization of Resources– Machines– Materials– Manpower

» Reduced set up costs/time

Production Scheduler’s Challenge

Finance

Engineering

Materials

Manufacturing

Quality

Work-In-Process inventory is too high and there seems to be

excessive labor costs.

Engineering Change Orders must be

implemented smoothly to the shop floor.

Are all production compliance issues

and procedures being followed

and met? Why are scrap costs rising?

Do you have all the material to start

production? Supplier “X” will be late with their

order!

There are too many last minute changes! Have

you planned for machine downtimes? Will you meet production due

dates? Five workers are out sick!
