  CAPM tool is any process management program that manages all
activities related to industrial processes/production within the
enterprise:
 Inventory and Purchasing Management
 Order Management
 Product Management
Introduction to
 Management of parts and components
CAPM  Management of bills of materials and product lines
 Resource management by family
 Production schedule management
 Shipping of products
 Billing
  In CIM environment, manufacturing engineers interact very closely
with designers.
 They need to understand design, especially CAD, and the design
process.

Role of  CAD requires them to have insight into the principles of computer
technology and the associated terminologies such as bits and
Manufacturing bytes, RAMs and ROMs.

Engineers  The same is true for first line supervisors or foremen who interact
with operator, management and plant equipment.
 Maintenance staff need to work more as a team with a common
pool of expertise in areas as diverse as electronics, computers,
hydraulics, pneumatics and the usual mechanical and electrical
systems.

  The study was conducted by the ‘Society of Manufacturing
Engineers (SME)’ in USA to predict the role of manufacturing
engineers in 21st century. The findings of the study are
documented as ‘Profile 21’.
Role of  The profile 21 predicts that the role of manufacturing engineers
Manufacturing will change in 21st century due to following factors:

Engineers  Increased product variety and sophistication

 Globalization of manufacturing
 socio-economic changes
  Some of the findings of ‘Profile 21’ are as follows:
 Function as Integration Engineers
- The manufacturing engineers will function as integration engineers
with the duties of coordinating people, information and technology.
- they must possesses managerial, business, technical, scientific and
mathematical skills.
Role of 2. Function as Business Administrators
Manufacturing - The manufacturing engineers will function as business administrator
for their unit.
Engineers - They will carry out planning of logistics, workflow, and human
resources.
3. Function as Effective Team leaders
- The profile 21 predicts that manufacturing engineers will need to have
man management skills and technical skills.
- They will have to function as an effective team leaders.
Manufacturing  A manufacturing system can be defined as a combination of
System: humans, machinery, and equipment that are bound by a common
material and information flow
Definition
  “Production is the organised activity of transforming resources
into finished products in the form of goods and services; the
Production objective of production is to satisfy the demand for such
transformed resources”
  Jobbing
Types of Job  Intermittent

Production  Continuous
 Mass Production.
  In an intermittent manufacturing system, the company produces
multiple identical items at the same time. The nature of the
system means the products must be standardized and there is
Intermittent little or no allowance for customization.

Production  A manufacturing method of producing several different products

using the same production line. Once an initial production line has
run, a second product will be produced which increases the
amount of productivity a company is capable of at one time.
Continuous  In this type of system, a product moves along an assembly line,
with various specialized workers performing actions to assemble
Production the product at stations along the way.
  Cost
Factor  Quality
Affecting  Flexibility
Selection of  Other Factors

Manufacturing  Environmental Sustainability

 Quantity of products
Process
 External Regulations
  The key objective of any business is to maximize their profits while
offering quality to customers. Therefore, one of the strategies that
Cost can be used in achievement of this objective is ensuring that the
processes being undertaken are as cost effective as possible.
  Operation managers have the role of ensuring that the goods or
services that are offered to clients are of optimum quality. Apart
from reducing costs to maximize profits, companies also select
their manufacturing process designs based on the quality of their
Quality outcome. Manufacturing processes that do not produce products
in the state that was intended by designers or fail to cater for the
need of customers in the market ought to be avoided, regardless
of how cost-effective they may be.
  The dynamism that characterized the present-day business
environment also means that organizational operations should be
as flexible as possible so as to maintain their relevance. Flexibility
is the ease at which manufacturing processes can change certain
aspects or qualities of products.
Flexibility  These range from the shape, materials used to manufacture the
product or the finish. Lack of flexibility in manufacturing processes
may make it difficult for companies to satisfy the ever-changing
needs in the market. It may also make quite expensive to replace
the existent processes with newer ones. The need for flexibility is
more intense in the electronic industry
  The quantity of products that the company produces for
customers also determines the choice of the appropriate
manufacturing process. In a situation where companies
Quantity manufacture single products to fit the specifications of clients, a
one-off approach may be appropriate. On the other hand, if the
company deals in the manufacture of products in large quantities,
the mass production approach is preferable
  Standards and regulations, usually set by different governing
bodies also affect the selection of the manufacturing approach.
Some of the aspects that that are focused include environmental
impacts and specific quality standards that ought to be delivered
to customers. For instance, electronics manufacturing companies
are supposed to adhere to the set standards in terms of the air
emissions, solid and hazardous wastes and effluents. Regardless
of how cost effective and flexible a manufacturing process can be,
External companies have the obligation of adhering to the set standards to
Regulations avoid getting into legal issues.
 The factors that have been highlighted above are relevant to all
companies that deal in the manufacture of products for their
customers. Whereas it is impossible to optimize all the mentioned
aspects of manufacturing processes, companies ought to make a
comprehensive evaluation of their manufacturing processes to
ensure that they deliver quality to their clients and also meet their
goals and objectives
