THE GOALS OF PLANT LAYOUT AND METERIAL HANDING
A mission statement can best communication the primary goal of a plant layout and material handing project. for example:
Build me a plant to produce 1,500 swing sets per shift.
Cost and quality are so important that they can be built into the mission statment, but as a separate goal we would stste our supporting objectives like this:
1.Minimize unit cost.
2.Optimize quality.
3.Promote the effective use of:
4.Promotive the effective use of:
a.people;
b,equipment;
3,space;and
d,energy.
4,Provide for:
a,employee convenience;
b,employee safety;and
c.employee comfort.
5.control project costs.
6.Achieve the production start date.
7.Achieve miscellaneous goals.
Your mission statement should be sample. The mission statement is used to keep you on track and to help in all project decisions. Our mission is to provide a specific number of quality units per period of time at the lowest possible cost. It is not to show off our advanced manufacturing knowlege or to have a showplace for our computers and robots. The mission statement is there to remind you:
1.The first sub-goal is to minmize unit cost of the prime objective. This means that every dollar expanded in excess of the cheapest method of getting into production must be cost-justified. this dose not mean we buy the cheapest machine because the most exensive production volume may be low. Not much can be spent on advanced manufacturing technology, but we still need equipment. This is when we buy the cheapest ones available.
2.Quality is critical and difficult to measure; we all know that a near-perfect car is available, a Rolls Royce, but how many can we sell? We can make a better product if we buy better product if we buy better materials, machine closer tolerances, add additional options, and the like. But Mass prodution was made possible by providing products that the masses could afford. This called for lowering the design, cost, and quality. Top management of the auto industry might state as a quality standard:
Let's design a utility automobile that last 100,00 miles.
The designers will design every part with their goal in mind. They may state more clearly that 95 percent of the autos will last but any cost spent to create any one part of better quality will be money misspent. Quality and cost are the two primary competitive fronts. Controlling one without the other will lead to failure. We must contantly balance cost and quality. In plant layout and material handing we must consider quality in every phase.
