In the course of their business activities, each company carries out a specific production process, in which there is a purposeful transformation of materials and raw materials into finished products suitable for further processing or consumption.The manufacturing process is always directed at achieving the minimum of the production cycle.What is the production cycle?
Under this concept implies a complete range of all transactions carried out in the manufacture of products, the period from the beginning to the end of the complete production process.Since it takes place in space and time, the production cycle can be measured by the length of the path of promotion product and all its components, and the time needed for the completion of all stages of product processing.This cycle is a period of stay of objects of labor (materials, raw materials) in the production process from the beginning until the final manufacturing of finished marketable products.
this measurement cycle using the length of the path is performed by the original workplace, where they began processing the product and all its components, to the very last.The length of the production cycle does not believe the line and the area of the room where the equipment that serves, machines and equipment used to manufacture products.The ideal is considered such a situation, in which the production cycle is shortened as much as possible and which facilitated communication and transport links jobs with each other.In other words, the shorter the entire path of movement of product during the manufacturing process, the lower the cost of its transportation between operations, space requirements, and much less time is required to process it.
production cycle has a duration measured in days, hours and minutes.The enterprises are distinguished series of modular units, the cycle of the product as a whole, individual parts and individual performance, as well as homogeneous operations.
production cycle and its structure - one of the important technical and economic indicators of economic activity.On this basis, we determined the production capacity, the timing of production, volume of work in progress, and many other planning and production figures.
structure of the production cycle consists of run-time core (processing, assembly, procurement) and auxiliary (control, transport) operations, as well as breaks (SHOP, intermenstrual, regime).Time above the main action is the technological cycle.During his work on the subjects performed the indirect and direct effects of the company's employees.
Breaks divided into 2 groups:
- directly related to the mode of operation (non-working shifts and days, breaks vnutrismennyh for rest, lunch breaks and between shifts);
- related to the organizational and technical aspects of production (waiting on the assembly of parts and components units, lack of energy, transport and raw materials).
In calculating the period of the production cycle time into account only those costs that do not overlap technological operations (time control, transportation products).Breaks that are related to the organizational and technical problems in the calculation of the planned duration of the cycle is not taken into account.When calculating its duration takes into account the characteristics of objects of the labor movement.Generally use one of three types: parallel, serial or parallel-to-serial.It is believed that the production cycle for a parallel movement is greatly reduced.In its duration affecting economic, organizational and technological factors.
