This scope item describes a Consumer Products Industry flavored production process with full integration of Quality Management into discrete Manufacturing. The process is realized as a Make-to-stock scenario for batch-managed goods with QM integration for In-Process Control and (early) goods receipt inspection.
The Consumer Industry process describes a two-stage production process for coffee displays. The first stage reflects the roasting and packaging process of medium respective dark roasted beans under consideration of a fixed capacity of the roasting drums. During the roasting, cooling and packaging steps, the process is permanently monitored by quality inspection. During roasting process, the temperature, browning of the beans and other parameters are permanently checked by QM until all parameters are fulfilled.
Moreover, the functionality of an early goods receipt inspection is used to handle the End-Product Control of the unpacked, semifinished product as flexible as possible. This means that the end-product control can be started during the production process, or alternatively after goods receipt into quality stock.
The second stage reflects a display packaging process where two different semifinished products (bags of medium and dark roasted coffee beans) are packed into a display carton. In this second process step, a quality inspection after goods receipt from production with quality inspection stock is set up.
The process starts with the creation of a demand forecast for finished goods represented by Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs). Based on PIRs, Material Requirements Planning (MRP) creates a production plan for finished goods and explodes the entire bill of material structure. As a result, semifinished component production and raw material demands are planned. Production planners can analyze and manually change the planned orders based on production plan. Raw material demands lead to purchase requisitions that trigger alternative procurement scenarios referenced in this scope item.
The production process covers the conversion of planned orders to production orders, order release, material staging and picking, confirmation of order operations or complete orders, and goods receipt posting. Order-based targets and actual costs are created to ensure fully integrated material and value streams.
