Production Logistics Production logistics are all about inventory control. Good production logistics create a lean manufacturing process. This, in turn, helps manufacturers cut production costs. Production logistics ought to involve the latest technology. This ensures proper movement along the supply chain. Manufacturers need to have the most efficient machines. Orderly processes also ensure that each work station gets the proper materials. These standards prevent a bottleneck on the assembly line. The goals of production logistics are simple. First, it wants to streamline material flow. This guarantees that all raw materials and components are used properly. Second, it manages inventory up to the point of use. When done properly, production logistics drastically reduces supply chain costs. Often, Logisticians will require the use detailed procedures and automation. Automation helps things get done more quickly. However, more detailed procedures require human workers. People are necessary on every assembly line. They can watch for slow-downs or errors in production. Exercise 1. Read the article. Then, mark the following statements as true or false. 1. Orderly processes and good technology can prevent bottlenecks. 2. Production logistics manage inventory up to the assembly line. 3. Automation and human labor are necessary on an assembly line. Exercise 2. Match the words or phrases (1-8) with the definitions (A-H). 1. Streamline 5. Automation 2. Bottleneck 6. Work station 3. Point of use 7. Assembly line 4. Material flow 8.

Read the conversation between a logistician and a production manager. Fill in the conversation with the correct words: machine, process, automation, tracking and tracing, movement of materials, control our inventory. Logistician: I think it might be a good idea to start 1__________our products. Manager: Oh? Why do you say that? Logistician: Well, it’ll help us better 2__________. Manager: True. We have had some trouble in the past with materials getting lost. Logistician: Right. We can’t afford any disruption in the 3_____________. Manager: But how will this 4_________work? Logistician: Each product is assigned a tracking number and a barcode. The barcode is scanned before the product leaves our warehouse. labor? Logistician: I think a 6________can perform that task. Exercise 4 Write 10 different questions to the text.
