3 - 2 Engineering System
Engineering system is a collective term for systems that support the production of industrial products. An engineering system can be of various types, ranging from a business processing system that manages the production information, through to a control system for industrial machines and industrial robots.

3-2-1 Production Management
Production management involves the creation and management of a production plan stating what is to be produced, when it is to be produced, and in what quantity. When a production plan is created, it is important to select an appropriate production system.
[Typical production systems]
- • Build-to-order production system
This is a system (or form) that an order is received and the ordered quantity is produced. - • Build-to-stock production system
This is a system (or form) that the quantity for stock replenishment is produced on the basis of the production plan. - • Continuous production system
This is a low-mix high-volume production system that the same product is produced continuously for a fixed period of time. - • Individual production system
This is a high-mix low-volume production system that carries out production according to each individual order. - • Lot production system
This is a system that the production quantity is compiled according to the product type, and several products are produced alternately in units of lots. This production system is positioned somewhere in the middle of continuous production and individual production. - • Cell production system
This is a production system that a single operator or several operators are in charge of all processes of production. It is suitable for varied and flexible high-mix low-volume production. · 2 questions - • Line production system
This is a production system that each operator is in charge of only a part of the assembly line of the production process. Although division of work is necessary on the basis of standardization, simplification, and specialization, it is suitable for low-mix high-volume production of products whose specifications do not change over a long period of time. - • JIT (Just In Time) production system
This is a system that the required products are produced at the required time and only in the required quantity. · 1 question - • Process production system
This is a system that products are manufactured by means of the chemical reaction

of the raw materials. It is suitable for low-mix high-volume production when the setup frequency is extremely low.
Moreover, in order to evaluate the production plan, it is necessary to decide beforehand various productivity indicators, such as labor productivity and capital productivity.
