Regardless of the size of a company, manufacturing is a complex task. It involves people, materials, equipment, and many other variables to turn base components into finished products. In some cases, production may be a simple process of just a few steps. But in most manufacturing operations, production involves numerous sub-processing steps or assembly steps that add complexity.
The goal of all manufacturing companies is to maximize profit. This comes about through the utilization of a well-designed production process that continually pursues process improvements and gains in efficiency. This process requires solid production management to realize these gains and apply them to the bottom line
