Textbook Question
Chapter 41, Problem 1RQ
What are the major functional elements or departmental areas of the production system?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The major functional elements of production system.
Explanation of Solution
Production system manufactures the products of an industry. This system transforms supplied input to useful output. It is the major functional area in the organization. It consists of facilities and manufacturing support systems.
The major functional elements of the production system are:
- Manufacturing system
- Manufacturing engineering
- Personnel or human resources
- Research and development
- Design engineering
- Marketing and sales department
- Finance and accounting
- Purchasing and procurement
- Production planning and control
- Inventory control
- Quality control
- Maintenance
