• W2076130173 abstract "THERE HAS been a great deal of discussion in recent years about the use of computer-based solutions for production control. Computer manufacturers and learned societies have put forward suggestions about implementation, and large companies have documented their own ideas and user experience. Most of the reference material so far, however, has been confined to sophisticated integrated systems. It is not surprising that a high proportion of industry views, with some scepticism, the concept of production control employing computer methods. Looked at critically, any integrated production system is a series of composite parts, each of which perform a specific function. The needs of many manufacturers, small and large, for production control essentially evolve around the effective organisation of a few key functions. The 80/20 rule frequently applies, highlighting the fact that if 20 per cent of the functions were impoved, then an 80 per cent overall benefit would be gained — to make the final 20 per cent improvements, all the remaining 80 per cent of operations require adjustment. Experience has shown that for smaller companies, as much can be gained by adopting the computer-based solution in a single well-chosen application as would be achieved by computerising all remaining applications. One approach to testing out what is involved is to employ a computer bureau service, which provides the opportunity to users of gaining the full benefits from working with a computer without the concern of ownership. Production control systems require an efficient stock recording system as a firm foundation on which to build. For the supply of materials and parts is the starting point in manufacturing. High stocks mean high capital investment. Low stocks can lead to breaks in production and a low level of service to customers. The responsibility of finding the happy medium belongs to the stock controller. Atkins Computing Services has a series of programs suitable for a wide range of business operations. Known as the 'Inventory Management Suite', these programs provide the means to capture and report on data necessary to maintain stocks at an optimum level by recording four basic factors: future demands, economic order quantity, order and safety levels, and service levels. When first presented by a client with the idea of using data processing for inventory management, a bureau will normally perform a survey in co-operation with the client's key stores personnel. A varied sample of stock items are selected, and for each item data such as stock levels, usages, order quantities, values and so on are assembled. Areas high-lighted are the number of periods for which existing stocks will last on current usage; and ABC classification, showing which items represent the greatest proportion of stock value in terms of cost price and usage; and economic order quantities in terms of ordering and storage costs involved. If the survey shows that more extensive stock monitoring and control is desirable, the next step is to implement a system based on the results of the bureau investigation. Over a period of time to fit in with the individual company's constraints a stock file on the computer is established, introducing certain disciplines in terms of organising the stores, the paper work concerning issues and receipts, and organising a part number system if one does not already exist. The bureau staff are on hand to give advice and assistance throughout this procedure, and to ensure that the clients are fully trained and conversant with the computer based system. The whole stores can be organised for processing at once or section by section. Alternatively, only those parts which have a direct influence on the manufacturing processes can be scheduled for computer control. Once the stockpile has been arranged, it is then in a position to have all stock movements recorded, which, in conjunction with the stock file, will provide data that can later be used to assist the size of buffer stocks and economic order levels and to help calculate the ABC classification. For a company to gain benefit from basic stock recording, it is essential that the issues and receipts are used to update the stock file regularly. The details can be submitted to the bureau on forms designed to fit in with the other manual systems in the production environment. From these forms the bureau transfers the information on to punched cards or paper tape, which is subsequently processed in the computer and the various reports produced. To control stores it is desirable to know which items are causing problems. Exceptions need to be identified, and stock status reports are available, showing those items requiring urgent attention. For cash flow control and management information, a Stock Valuation Report is available on request. The Atkins Computing service offers various facilities which allow the stock value to be written down (or up) by percentage, age, part, part-type or product group for the purposes of book valuation. Having implemented a recording system, consideration can be given to increasing the level of sophistication used in the control of the stores. Such techniques as forecasting can be determined for individual groups or" @default.
