CHAPTER
ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
For
any industry operate successfully there is need for it to be knowledgeable in
the field of production, what it intends to achieve models, process, areas of
application in production (Pellegrino, 2010).
This
project looks into two different aspects of production i.e production
scheduling and control. Production scheduling and control as a part of the
function of management deals with the scheduling and controlling of physical
resource to be used by an enterprises to produce goods and services. Aleje,
(1996) Strategic Planning and control it is a design process through which
input or raw materials are converted or transformed into output of useful
product or service. Before production could be achieved, there must be a plan
to that effect, this plan involves before production of goods or services to
satisfy human wants is the major hold that keep every organization going
smoothly.
The
organization also divided the choice of materials from which to start
production with, the choice of facilities required the choice of route or
services of work/task to be applied the choice of handling and storage system
to be used for moving materials within the premises.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Most
organization production activity are slow and the time to complete a given
tasks always exceed the expected given time. The researcher wants to
investigate and know the reasons behind lower productivity among employees. The
problems of production scheduling and control are discussed in this work and
solutions suggested. At times the use of quantitative techniques in assigning
jobs in an organization is not done well, the researcher want to see the
reasons behind this. The inventory levels of organization are not properly
maintained they get short of materials due to lack of good control of stock.
Lastly, the researcher want to know the problems associated with activity of
scheduling in relation to noodles production and solution suggested.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
For
the successful accomplishment of any work, there must be a reason or purpose of
setting such task. The objectives of the study are as follows.
-
To find out how production scheduling and
inventory control is actually carried out in the organization.
-
To numerate the degree of consumption of
goods and service produce in the organization by the consumers.
-
To find out whether Indomise Company is
using quantitative techniques in planning production process.
-
It will show us the importance of
scheduling and control activities in the process of producing or manufacturing
a product.
-
To find out the problems facing in
production scheduling and control and also suggest on how to alleviate the
problem.
1.4 STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS
In
the course of the research work, the following hypothesis shall be tested.
HO: Inventory control done not affect the
production performance in an organization.
Hi: Inventory control affects the production
performance in an organization.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
significance of the study of the project work cannot be over emphasized, it
will help managers and organization to know which of the methods to apply at
any given situation or circumstance they find themselves. It will also help
organization to maximize profit through effective use of plant and machines and
by taking corrective measure. The organization will see its own lapses and
improve on them so as to meet its own objectives other organization in the same
line can effect correction on their various productive systems.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This
project work covers certain areas of the said organization. The major areas
covered are the noodling line where the actual production scheduling and
control activities mostly take place, it covers other departments in relation
to production because they are all interrelate. It also looks at the use of
mathematical techniques applied in the production of noodles. It also looks at
the problem of scheduling activity to machine and the scope and concept of
control in production management and its importance.
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
In
the course of writing this work, some limitations were encountered. For
instance, due to high cost of transportation it has not been easy in conducting
this research. Also time constraints or limited time is another factor. Another problem is that some of the employees
shows nonchalant attitude toward this work. Despite these problems faced the
researcher was chanced to gather effective materials necessary for the
successful completion of the project.
1.8 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE CASE STUDY
The
historical background of Indomie Company Kaduna. Northern Noodles Limited is
the third and the most recent state of the automation noodle manufacturing
factory commissioned in Kaduna in 2011. Northern Noodles Limited entered in the
pages of history of her group not only for being the quickest in completion of
a project but also for being the first ever fully automated plant from start to
finish i.e. flour handling silo system to auto carton casing.
The
company doubled its production capacity within a span of six month and
processes to further add to it by the end of year 2013. The objective of the
company is to provide fresh and quality product to the consumers of northern
and central part of Nigeria.
1.9 DEFINITION OF TERMS
Before
going into the major part of the project we should understand some basic
terminologies in this piece of work.
Production: This
can be defined as the creation of good and services for human consumption or
uses.
Scheduling: Means
assigning of a particular task to someone, in other words, it means planning.
Control: Can
be seen as the act of process of ensuring activities conforms with planned in
an organization.
Product:
Mean manufactured goods on the other hand, product can be seen as something that
is tangible as being capable of satisfying a need (i.e. any tangible things
that provide satisfaction).
Monitoring: Is
a process of continuous inspection to ensure that task carried out are in
accordance with specification.
Cost: Are
monetary value of good purchased.
Material: These
are component, parts raw material that is kept in store.
Specification: Can
be seen as a statement providing description list of characteristics laid down
for materials components processes or service.
Quality: Is
defined as anything that conforms to one predetermined standard or
specification.
Planning: Means
forecasting the future i.e looking ahead.
