Inventory, Acceptance Criteria, and Production are three important but often overlooked components of manufacturing performance management. These three terms are often used interchangeably and many in the manufacturing supply chain don't understand the difference between the three. Each term is vital to the process of manufacturing and each impacts the way production occurs. In order for a company to successfully meet the demands of the marketplace, every piece of production equipment should be properly tested to ensure it meets production needs and that customers receive full value for their purchase.
Acceptance Criteria An inventory procedure utilized to determine whether the requirements of a proposed contract or specification are met. The inventory manager will validate material, services, and other factors that affect the production and manufacturing process to determine what products will be available. Once an inventory has been established, goods may be shipped to manufacturers or distributors, or to sales outlets. Acceptance Criteria, also referred to as PMI (PMS), is a reduction of waste of good that results from faulty or inefficient product specifications. By reducing the number and type of errors that occur throughout the manufacturing process, acceptance criteria help to ensure that quality control, service, support, and goods return with a minimum loss of financial investment.
Production Metrics The production metrics will help to establish the amount of materials, equipment, and labor necessary to manufacture a specific product. It will also include the costs of raw materials, transportation costs, and overhead such as wages and supplies. Warehousing costs, including space requirements, are included in the production metrics. These three components are essential for determining the costs of manufacturing and the final costs of receiving the finished goods from the suppliers.
