  2. Eight disciplines problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_Disciplines_Problem...

    The executives of the Powertrain Organization (transmissions, chassis, engines) wanted a methodology where teams (design engineering, manufacturing engineering, and production) could work on recurring chronic problems. In 1986, the assignment was given to develop a manual and a subsequent course that would achieve a new approach to solving ...

  3. Process manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_manufacturing

    Process manufacturing is a branch of manufacturing that is associated with formulas and manufacturing recipes, [1] and can be contrasted with discrete manufacturing, which is concerned with discrete units, bills of materials and the assembly of components. Process manufacturing is also referred to as a 'process industry' which is defined as an ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalization_(economics)

    There are four primary assumptions about human nature that form the foundation of RCT as a model of economic rationalization: 1). the decisions and subsequent behavior of an individual are inherently rational as a result of accurately and logically factoring both the rewards and costs of the proposed choice; 2). the reward will logically and ...

  5. Manufacturing process management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_process...

    Manufacturing process management (MPM) is a collection of technologies and methods used to define how products are to be manufactured. MPM differs from ERP/MRP which is used to plan the ordering of materials and other resources, set manufacturing schedules, and compile cost data.

  6. Manufacturing engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_engineering

    Manufacturing engineers develop and create physical artifacts, production processes, and technology. It is a very broad area which includes the design and development of products. Manufacturing engineering is considered to be a subdiscipline of industrial engineering/systems engineering and has very strong overlaps with mechanical engineering ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Enterprise...

    MESA was initially founded, in 1992, [2] to promote manufacturing execution systems.Its acronym and reach were later broadened to Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association, to include a wider scope of functions in the entire manufacturing enterprise value chain, and the integration of plant floor devices and control systems into enterprise systems and business intelligence for higher ...

  8. Manufacturing execution system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_execution_system

    Manufacturing execution systems (MES) are computerized systems used in manufacturing to track and document the transformation of raw materials to finished goods. MES provides information that helps manufacturing decision-makers understand how current conditions on the plant floor can be optimized to improve production output. [ 1 ]

  9. Industrial processes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_processes

    Certain chemical process yield important basic materials for society, e.g., (cement, steel, aluminum, and fertilizer).However, these chemical reactions contribute to climate change by emitting carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, through chemical reactions, as well as through the combustion of fossil fuels to generate the high temperatures needed to reach the activation energies of the chemical ...
