ProcessPlanning
Processplanninginvolvesdeterminingthemostappropriatemanufacturingandassemblyprocessesandthesequenceinwhichtheyshouldbeaccomplishedtoproduceagivenpartorproductaccordingtospecificationssetforthintheproductdesigndocumentation.Thescopeandvarietyofprocessesthatcanbeplannedaregenerallylimitedbytheavailableprocessingequipmentandtechnologicalcapabilitiesofthecompanyofplant.Partsthatcannotbemadeinternallymustbepurchasedfromoutsidevendors.Itshouldbementionedthatthechoiceofprocessesisalsolimitedbythedetailsoftheproductdesign.Thisisapointwewillreturntolater.

Processplanningforparts
Forindividualparts,theprocessingsequenceisdocumentedonaformcalledaroutesheet.Justasengineeringdrawingsareusedtospecifytheproductdesign,routesheetsareusedtospecifytheprocessplan.Theyarecounterparts,oneforproductdesign,theotherformanufacturing.
Atypicalprocessingsequencetofabricateanindividualpartconsistsof:
(1)abasicprocess,
(2)secondaryprocesses,(3)operationstoenhancephysicalproperties,and(4)finishingoperations.Abasicprocessdeterminesthestartinggeometryoftheworkparts.Metalcasting,plasticmolding,androllingofsheetmetalareexamplesofbasicprocesses.Thestartinggeometrymustoftenberefinedbysecondaryprocesses,operationsthattransformthestartinggeometry(orclosetofinalgeometry).Thesecondarygeometryprocessesthatmightbeusedarecloselycorrelatedtothebasicprocessthatprovidesthestartinggeometry.Whensandcastingisthebasicprocesses,machiningoperationsaregenerallythesecondprocesses.Whenarollingmillproducessheetmetal,stampingoperationssuchaspunchingandbendingarethesecondaryprocesses.Whenplasticinjectionmoldingisthebasicprocess,secondaryoperationsareoftenunnecessary,becausemostofthegeometricfeaturesthatwouldotherwiserequiremachiningcanbecreatedbythemoldingoperation.Plasticmoldingandotheroperationthatrequirenosubsequentsecondaryprocessingarecallednetshapeprocesses.Operationsthatrequiresomebutnotmuchsecondaryprocessing(usuallymachining)arereferredtoasnearnetshapeprocesses.Someimpressiondieforgingsareinthiscategory.Thesepartscanoftenbeshapedintheforgingoperation(basicprocesses)sothatminimalmachining(secondaryprocessing)isrequired.

MakeorBuyDecision
Animportantquestionthatarisesinprocessplanningiswhetheragivenpartshouldbeproducedinthecompany’sownfactoryorpurchasedfromanoutsidevendor,andtheanswertothisquestionisknownasthemakeorbuydecision.Ifthecompanydoesnotpossessthetechnologicalequipmentorexpertiseintheparticularmanufacturingprocessesrequiredtomakethepart,thentheanswerisobvious:
Thepartmustbepurchasedbecausethereisnointernalalternative.However,inmanycases,thepartcouldeitherbemadeinternallyusingexistingequipment,oritcouldbepurchasedexternallyfromavendorthatprocesssimilarmanufacturingcapability.
Inourdiscussionofthemakeorbuydecision,itshouldberecognizedattheoutsetthatnearlyallmanufacturesbuytheirrawmaterialsfromsupplies.Amachineshoppurchasesitsstartingbarstockfromametalsdistributoranditssandcastingsfromafoundry.Aplasticmoldingplantbuysitsmoldingcompoundfromachemicalcompany.Astampingpressfactorypurchasessheetmetaleitherfroadistributorordirectfromarollingmill.Veryfewcompaniesareverticallyintegratedintheirproductionoperationsallthewayfromrawmaterials,itseemsreasonabletoconsiderpurchasingatleastsomeofthepartsthatwouldotherwisebeproducedinitsownplant.Itisprobablyappropriatetoaskthemakeorbuyquestionforeverycomponentthatisusedbythecompany.
