Industry Focus - Manufacturing Business Background - Difference between Discrete and Process Manufacturing

The basic difference in Process and Discrete Manufacturing is that in Process Mfg. the final product cannot be broken down into the ingredients that have been used to make the product whereas in Discrete Mfg. the final product can be broken down into subassemblies and further into parts

Process Manufacturing (OPM)

Pharmaceutical Industry - Medicine, Tablets Bio Technology Food Processing Industry Beverages Paints Petro Chemical Industries Chemical Industries Steel Industries

Process manufacturing is distinguished by a production approach that has minimal interruptions in actual processing in any one production run, or between production runs of similar products. This approach produces multiple unique products in relatively small batches flowing through different production operations throughout the factory. They typically follows a Process Layout. They are normally producing a Product that is "Homogeneous" and equally divided for the convenience of packaging. Typical examples are Food, pharmaceutical and other batched-based manufacturers such as refineries, wineries, etc. .

OPM - Business Case Study Example - Steel Industry Raw materials

: Sponge iron, pig iron and scrap ferrous material, various alloys.

Intermediate product : Billets, blooms and ingots Product

: Different grades of various dimension,shape,lenght,heat treatment.

Raw material is melted and alloys added to achieve the aim chemistry to produce 'Heats' and then continuous casting is done to form blooms/billets. Blooms/billets are converted to rolled and turned products

Discrete Manufacturing (ODM)

Discrete manufacturing is distinguished by the production of distinct items that use bills of material and routings to determine costs and lead times. Examples: Automobile manufacturing, computer manufacturing, dishwasher and washing machine manufacturing, etc . Typically they follows either a Product, Process or a Combination Layout these layouts can be understood like: ○ Product Layout - Processes come to the product . typical example are Ship Building, Car Assembly Line, PC's, etc. ○ Process Layout - Products go to Process areas Typical Example are Cabinets and Casings, Sub-assemblies, Rubber Mixing, etc. Is normally a Product that is "Built Up" from components or sub-assemblies.

Project Deliverables - Business Documentations (Clients) using Application Implementation Methodology (AIM) AIM Structure Framework AIM is a framework of related elements. It involves phases, processes, tasks and dependencies: • A task is a unit of work, which results in a single deliverable. That deliverable may take many different forms like reports, schedu les, code, or test results for example. • A process is a closely related group of dependent tasks, which meets a major objective. A process is usually based on a common discipline. • A phase is a chronological grouping of tasks. It enables a flexible way to organize tasks, schedule major deliverables, and deliver projects. Processes and phases are explained in more detail below. Processes A process in AIM represents a related set of objectives, resource skill requirements, inputs, and deliverable outputs. A task can belong to only one process. Project team members are usually assigned to a process according to their specialization and background. A brief description of the AIM processes are given below: 1. Business Requirements Definition: Business Requirements Definition defines the business needs that must be met by the implementation project. You document business processes by identifying business events and describing the steps that respond to these events. 2. Business Requirements Mapping: Business Requirements Mapping compares the business requirements to standard application software functionality and identifies gaps that must be addressed to fully meet business needs. As gaps between requirements and functionality emerge, they are resolved by documenting workarounds, alternative solutions, application extensions, or by changing the underlying business process. 3. Application and Technical Architecture: During the Application and Technical Architecture you design an information systems architecture that reflects your business vision. Using the business and information systems requirements, this process facilitates development of a plan for deploying and configuring the hardware required for a successful implementation. 4. Module Design and Build: Module Design and Build produces custom software solutions to gaps in functionality identified during Business Requirements Mapping. Custom software solutions include program modules that must be designed, built, and tested before they can be incorporated into the system. 5. Data Conversion : Data Conversion defines the tasks and deliverables required to convert legacy data to the Oracle Applications tables. The first step of this process explicitly defines the business objects that are required for conversion and the legacy source systems that store these objects. The converted data may be needed for system testing, training, and acceptance testing as well as for production. 6. Documentation :Documentation begins with materials created early in the project. Using detailed documents from the project, the writing staff develops user and technical material that are tailored to the implementation. 7. Business System Testing: Business System Testing focuses on linking test requirements back to business requirements and securing project resources needed for testing. It supports utilizing common test information including data profiles to promote testing co-ordination and to minimize duplication of test preparation and execution effort. EDU-OPM-Glance Page 5

and to minimize duplication of test preparation and execution effort. 8. Performance Testing: Performance Testing enables you to define, build, and execute a performance test. Use the results to make decisions on whether the performance is acceptable for the business and to help propose tactical or strategic changes to address the performance quality shortfall. Performance Testing is closely related to Application and Technical Architecture; they are interdependent. 9. User Training: Training prepares both users and administrators to assume on the tasks of running the new application system. It includes development of materials and methods as well as administration. Instructors and courseware developers orient their material toward roles and jobs, and not toward application modules. 10.Production Migration : Production Migration moves the company, system, and people to the new enterprise system. Following production cutover, it monitors and refines the production system and plans for the future. The Production Migration process encompasses transition to production readiness, production cutover, and post-production support The Process can easily understood by this diagram against Phases discussed below.

Phases An AIM project is conducted in phases that provide quality and control checkpoints to co-ordinate project activities that have a common goal. During a project phase, your project team will be executing tasks from several processes. A brief description of the AIM processes are given below: 1. Definition: This consist of review the organization's business objectives, evaluate the feasibility of meeting those objectives under time, resource, and budget constraints. Moreover this can be best consider as SOW(statement of work) preparation phase. 2. Operations Analysis: During Operations Analysis, the project team develops Business Requirements Scenarios based on deliverables from Definition that are used to assess the level of fit between the business requirements and standard application functionality. Gaps are identified and corresponding solutions developed. The analysis results in a proposal for conducting business operations under the envisioned application technical architecture. Solutions for gaps evolve into detailed designs during Solution Design. 3. Solution Design: The purpose of Solution Design is to develop the detailed designs for the optimal solutions to meet the future business requirements. During this phase, project team members create detailed narratives of process solutions developed during Operations Analysis. Supporting business requirements may require building application extensions to standard features; several alternative solutions may have been defined during Operations Analysis. The project team carefully scrutinizes these solutions and chooses the most cost effective alternatives. 4. Build: The coding and testing of all customizations and other custom software including enhancements, data conversions, and interfaces is done during Build. Policy and procedure changes relating to business process modifications are developed. Business system testing is performed to validate that the developed solutions meet business requirements. If customizations, extensions, or conversions are not required, Build is still important because it includes the business system test, which is commonly conducted as a formal conference room pilot. The business system test validates the solutions and is performed in an environment that closely resembles production. 5. Transition: During Transition, the project team deploys the finished solution into the organization. All the elements of the implementation must come together to transition successfully to actual production. The project team trains the end users while the technical team configures the production environment and converts data. Transition ends with the cutover to production, when end users start performing their job duties using the new system. 6.Production: Production begins immediately with the production cutover. It marks the last phase of the implementation, and the beginning of the system support cycle. Included in this final phase is a series of refinements and performance measurement steps. The in houes MIS/IT Department personnel work quickly to stabilize the system and begin regular maintenance. They will provide the ongoing support to the organization for the remaining life of the system. During Production, you compare actual results to project objectives.
