# Production planning and control
This department is responsible for solving the logistics problem in
manufacturing—ordering materials and purchased parts, scheduling
production, and making sure that the operating departments have the
necessary capacity to meet the production schedules.
# Quality control
Designing and building products that conform to specifications and
satisfy or exceed customer expectations

LEAN PRODUCTION AND SIX SIGMA
These are two programs aimed at improving efficiency and quality in
manufacturing. They address the demands by customers for the products
they buy to be both low in cost and high in quality.
Lean Production
Lean production can be defined simply as ‘‘doing more work with fewer
resources.’’
It means that fewer workers and less equipment are used to accomplish
more production in less time, and yet achieve higher quality in the final
product. The underlying objective of lean production is the elimination
of waste.

SIX SIGMA
Six Sigma was started in the 1980s at Motorola Corporation in the
United States.
The objective was to reduce variability in the company’s processes and
products to increase customer satisfaction. Six Sigma can be defined as
‘‘a quality-focused program that utilizes worker teams to accomplish
projects aimed at improving an organization’s operational performance.”
