Lecture Manufacturing planning and control for supply chain management (6/e) - Chapter 1: Manufacturing planning and control. In this chapter, the following content will be discussed: Simplified MPC framework, support activities of an MPC system, matching the MPC system to requirements, MPC Classification schema, evolution of MPC systems, performance indicators. | Manufacturing Planning and Control MPC 6th Edition Chapter 1 Definition A Manufacturing Planning and Control system provides information and support, which enables managers to efficiently direct the flow of material, manage the utilization of people and equipment, and respond to customer requirements by utilizing the capacity of suppliers, internal facilities, and, in some cases, customers.

Provide the appropriate mix of human resource capabilities, technology, and geographic locations. Key Areas of Influence on MPC system design Matching MPC System with the Firm needs MPC Classification Schema Repetitive Just-in-time MRP Project Number of subparts Seconds Minutes Days Weeks Months Time between successive units Flow MPC Classification Schema Flow (continuous production–chemical plants, food, etc.) Repetitive (longer production cycles–automobiles) Just-in-Time (shorter production cycles–TVs, personal computers) MRP (management of complicated parts product–airplanes) Project (unique, long duration–ships). Evolution of MPC Systems The MPC system must .
