Project Production Process

Project Production Process

 QUESTION

• For each method of production or production

process:

– What are the characteristics of the production

process

– Give examples of where the production process is

appropriate

– Give advantages and disadvantages of the

production process

• As Group 3, we were given the PROJECT

PRODUCTION PROCESS

 INTRODUCTION

• The project production flow is an example of

an intermittent production system.

• In Project Production, a company accepts a

single, complex order or contract.

• The order must be completed within a given

period of time and at an estimated cost.

 WHERE IS PROJECT PRODUCTION

APPLICABLE?

• The project production process is applicable in

the construction of:

– Dams

– Airports

– Roads

– Buildings

– Large ship building

– Rocket building

AN EXAMPLE (ROAD CONSTRUCTION)

• Site Planning and Preparation

– Land survey teams will map and set control lines

running the entire length of the road

– Reference points are created along the length of

the road so as to guide the construction crew

– Vegetation is cleared and obstructions are

removed

• Installation of underground utilities

– Storm drains are installed

– New pipping system is installed to connect with

existing drainage

– Supports of street and road light are installed

– All utilities are checked if they are functioning

properly

• Actual road construction begins

– Curbs are constructed

– Asphalt is laid down

• Landscaping and surface markings

– Landscaping is done

– The road is marked

• Site cleanup

– The site is cleaned up

– Unused resources are removed from the site

 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROJECT

PRODUCTION SYSTEM

• 1. No flow

– The resources are brought to the site thus, there is no flow

in the process. THIS IS BECAUSE THE PROJECT CANNOT BE

MOVED

• 2. The requirement of resources is not the same (it

varies).

– Generally, the resource requirement at the beginning is

low.

– Then in mid of production, the requirement increases.

– Finally, it slows down when the project is near its

completion phase.

• 3. Unique products are produced
