MATERIAL MANAGEMENT
The productflow can be separated in two trajects;
-
INTERNAL - This traject is called the MATERIAL MANAGEMENT which
reaches from the perception of bought goods till the department of final
products inside the factory.
-
EXTERNAL - The PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION is the second traject from
department of final products till the delivery at the door of the customer.
The MATERIAL MANAGEMENT embeds the control of the productflow include the
one which goes trough the productionline. This control can be very intensive
if there is a total transformation from basic material to complete final
products. In other cases it is enough to control the flow with a simple
administrative BUYING, STORE, SELLINGconstruction.In
case if you can speak from a more intensive productionline, it is perhaps
better to make a diagram of the sections and administration related at
this production. This product is mostly assembled, so it is necessary to
make a product-tree. This tree contents the NAMES and AMOUNT of
the parts which are integrated in ONE final product. Because of the fact
that one final product can content several identical parts, it is the final
product-orderamount what brings the decision how many parts there must
be produced. Also the service after sale needs parts for reparation the
products afterworth, so maybe you have to include this parts as well.
The calculation leads to a periodical list of production in which
every part gets his place and announcing the orderamount of the final products
in the section totalamount. Next figure gives some more details.
