What are the importance of Information Networks? Types of Networks Wire and wireless LAN and WAN Client /Sever and Peer to Peer
Peer to Peer
Client /Sever
Function of any IS
Data collection
Data processing
Information Production
Data management
Data Control
Main Features of IS
Inputs: Data collection and entry Models: Data Processing Outputs: Product of IS Data base: Control
Advantages of IS Fast, Accurate , reproducer, Storage, multi user Disadvantages: 1. High Cost 2. Holding traditional ways 3. Fast changes
Management and Computer
Management is the art of getting things done through people
Organization members & resources
Goals

MIS
Summarized Routine Data
TPS
Collect Routine Data
Example for MIS in Textile Mill
Why is MIS Required?
SOLUTIONS OVERVIEW
Todays Business Environment is Increasingly Challenging
DIAGRAM OVERVIEW
More Styles per season Globalisation of the supply Chain More Frequent & Smaller Orders More Competition Changing customer requirements Continual pressure for better value
Why is MIS Required?
SOLUTIONS OVERVIEW
To Remain Competitive, Businesses Need To.

Factory Planning Functional Overview
FACTORY PLANNING
Plan factories at machine/line level and schedule production efficiently
DIAGRAM
Production Planning Orders sequenced Start up Profiles for new Products Capacity Versus Load User Alerted by Effective use of Colour Flexible reporting
OVERVIEW
Factory Planning - The Planning Board
FACTORY PLANNING
Capacity scale
Date scale
Each row represents a sewing line, a knitting machine etc.
Each row has a capacity and throughput time
Free capacity is easily identified as a space in the plan
Each works order is represented by a coloured strip on the planning board
DIAGRAM
OVERVIEW
Factory Planning - The Status Bar
FACTORY PLANNING
When the mouse is placed over an order, details are displayed at the bottom of the planning board
Order reference
Product/ style reference
Earliest start date, actual start date and difference
Planned production time in working and calendar days
Product description and user definable data e.g. customer order no.

Factory Planning - Use of Colour
FACTORY PLANNING
A blue order in the plan indicates likely late delivery (pale blue, slightly late, dark blue more seriously late) Order reference
Strip quantity, progress and likely quantity late ( )

Required delivery date, actual completion date (as planned) and difference
OVERVIEW
Factory Planning - Use of Colour
FACTORY PLANNING
Order reference
Earliest start date, planned start date and difference or slippage of critical path
A yellow or orange order in the plan indicates that this order is loaded too early in the plan or that the critical path has slipped against its target dates
DIAGRAM
OVERVIEW
Factory Planning - Efficiency Profiles
FACTORY PLANNING
DIAGRAM
Each sewing line can be set up to run at different efficiencies on different products and even to prevent products from being loaded on unsuitable sewing lines Jackets would run at 65% maximum efficiency on this line
OVERVIEW
Factory Planning - Learning Curves
FACTORY PLANNING
Learning curves allow for efficiency losses and build up on new styles A series of different learning curves can be defined reflecting different patterns of style start up
DIAGRAM
OVERVIEW
Factory Planning - Production Update
FACTORY PLANNING
The Fastreact planning board is dynamic. Regular production updates provide visibility of current performance against the plan WIP information can be keyed into Fast React or imported from another system
DIAGRAM
