2. 2.  A company’s conversion cycle transforms (converts) input resources, such as raw materials, labor, and overhead, into finished products or services for sale.  The conversion cycle exists conceptually in all organizations, including those in service and retail industries.  It is most formal and apparent, however, in manufacturing firms, which is the our focus of this chapter. ◦ plan and control production ◦ perform production operations ◦ maintain inventory control ◦ perform cost accounting
3. 3.  This approach evolved from the Toyota Production System (TPS) based of lean manufacturing.  The goal of lean manufacturing is to improve efficiency and effectiveness in product design, supplier interaction, factory operations, employee management, and customer relations.  Key to successful lean manufacturing is achieving manufacturing flexibility, which involves the physical organization of production facilities and the employment of automated technologies.  These includes computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines, computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), robotics, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM).
4. 4.  consists of both physical and information activities related to manufacturing products  Plays a central role of the conversion cycle and its interactions with other business cycles  Production is triggered by customer orders from the revenue cycle and/or by sales forecasts from marketing  set a production target and pre-pare a production plan  Purchase requisitions, Payroll system, work in process, cost accounting all activities are involved
5. 5.  Continuous processing creates a homogeneous product through a continuous series of standard procedures e.g Cement and petrochemicals This approach firms attempt to maintain finished-goods inventory at levels needed to meet expected sales demand.  Make-to-order processing involves the fabrication of discrete products in accordance with customer specifications. This process is initiated by sales orders rather than depleted inventory levels.  Batch processing produces discrete groups (batches) of product. Each item in the batchis similar and requires the same raw materials and operations. To justify the cost of setting up and retooling for each batch run, the number of items in the batch tends to be large.
6. 6.  The sales forecast shows the expected demand for a firm’s finished goods for a given period.  The production schedule is the formal plan and authorization to begin production. 7.3  The bill of materials (BOM) specifies the types and quantities of the raw material (RM) for producing a single unit of finished product.7.4  A route sheet, illustrated in Figure 7-5, shows the production path that a particular batch of product follows during manufacturing.  The work order (or production order) draws from BOMs and route sheets to specify the materials and for each batch and initiate the manufacturing process in the production departments. Figure 7-6 presents a work order.  A move ticket, shown in Figure 7-7, records work done in each work center and authorizes the movement of the job or batch from one work center to the next.  A materials requisition authorizes the storekeeper to release materials (and subassemblies) to individuals or work centers in the production process.
7. 7.  Production Planning and Control. We first examine the production planning and control function. This consists of two main activities: (1) specifying materials and operations requirements and (2) production scheduling.  Materials and Operations Requirements. The raw materials requirement for a batch of any given product is the difference between what is needed and what is available in the raw material inventory. The operations requirements for the batch involve the assembly and/or manufacturing activities that will be applied to the product. This is determined by assessing route sheet specifications.
8. 8.  Production Scheduling.  The second activity of the planning and control function is production scheduling. The master schedule for a production run coordinates the production of many different batches. The schedule is influenced by time constraints, batch size, and specifications derived from BOMs and route sheets. The scheduling task also produces work orders, move tickets, and materials requisitions for each batch in the production run.
9. 9.  Work Centers and Storekeeping  he actual production operations begin when workers obtain raw materials from storekeeping in exchange for materials requisitions. These materials, as well as the machining and the labor required to manufacture the product, are applied in compliance with the work order. When the task is complete at a particular work center, the supervisor or other authorized person signs the move ticket, which authorizes the batch to proceed to the next work center. Work centers also fulfill an important role in recording labor time costs by work center supervisors
10. 10.  Inventory Control.  The inventory control function consists of three main activities. 1. First, it provides production planning and control with status reports on finished goods and raw materials inventory. 2. Second, the inventory control function is continually involved in updating the raw material inventory records from materials requisitions, excess materials requisitions, and materials return tickets. 3. Finally, upon receipt of the work order from the last work center, inventory control records the completed production by updating the finished goods inventory records. 4. EOQ
11. 11.  Cost accounting activities of the conversion cycle record the financial effects of the physical events that are occurring in the production process  The cost accounting process for a given production run begins when the production planning and control department sends a copy of the original work order to the cost accounting department.  This marks the beginning of the production event by causing a new record to be added to the work-in- process (WIP) file, which is the subsidiary ledger for the WIP control account in the general ledger.  Inventory control sends copies of materials requisitions, excess materials requisitions, and materials returns.
12. 12.  The various work centers send job tickets and completed move tickets. These documents, along with standards provided by the standard cost file, enable cost accounting to update the affected WIP accounts with the standard charges for direct labor, material, and manufacturing overhead (MOH).  The receipt of the last move ticket for a particular batch signals the completion of the production process and the transfer of products from WIP to the FG inventory.  At this point cost accounting closes the WIP account. Periodically, summary information regarding charges (debits) to WIP, reductions (credits) to WIP, and variances are recorded on journal vouchers and sent to the general ledger (GL) department for posting to the control accounts.
