 Hello everybody, I am Dr. Kesha Valasi from Walton Institute of Technology, Solapur. In today's session, actually in continuation with earlier two sessions, we will again talk about some introductory aspect of management, basically industrial management. At the end of today's session, you are expected to understand what are the major applications of industrial management as well as understand what is the scope of industrial management. Coming to major application areas, actually scope and applications if you talk in general for anything here particularly for industrial management. This was earlier restricted to manufacturing industries only, but with changing times as the supply chain and other operations related things have been very vital in today's context. Nowadays, these are thought in the field of service sector also or service organizations also in addition to manufacturing organizations. Now major applications if we think of then different authors might compile these applications in different groupings. There can be different perceptions and based on that there can be variations in this. Here I am referring one particular such perception wherein pre-production planning, production planning and control, then inventory management, then TQM that is total quality management and some other functions. These five groups as gross consideration I am referring here and at this juncture I request you people to think of different organizations for such applications of industrial management. Think of some cases, some industrial setups in manufacturing as well as service sectors to correlate these applications. Let us talk a little more about these applications. The first group was pre-production planning. This is something wherein before you start the actual production you need to look into certain aspects like plant location, plant layout and allied things wherein if I give the example then for cement manufacturing industry you really need to look for the location when the raw material is amply available and same goes with the sugar industry wherein the sugar production is crop is more there you prefer to have that location of sugar industry. Then plant layout yes if we take auto industry then which machine should be kept where the sequencing and scheduling aspect have been very critical and the total time elapsed time the cycle time all these things wherein idle time you really need to cut down and here in industrial engineering we have got different charting techniques some tools are there with which we really can think about plant layout. Before the manufacturing begins that is very important pre-production state then capacity planning yeah I mean if we have certain productivity requirement rather production rate if we have certain requirement like for example 10,000 vehicles per month suppose if we just take a case then 10,000 certain quantity of what automobile the number to be manufactured it needs other resources compatible to this 10,000 number that means how many machinery you need for 10,000 vehicles to be manufactured how many workers you need what different types of super managers so these all things come under capacity planning. Next is selection of machinery and equipments yeah people need to replace the machinery the war not machineries or maybe to get into advanced technology later things CNC technology flexible manufacturing system robotics high level automation thing so industries need to look into this that comes in particularly this selection of machinery and equipments. Same is with machinery handling or different metal handling systems in automation what level of automation you need and how do you like to handle these machineries as well as materials or systems you need these all things you think before actual production means. Second stage is while you really are about to start the production that we group as a production planning and control here again we have planning this planning is a particularly concerned with the production planning and here you need to really look into what type of product and in what quantity or what time period you need to manufacture. So, these types of production planning related things you have to work out then a routing is another application we have when you decide about the route card job card kinds of things like for a particular job but through what route it will pass in the shop floor in the industry which first it will go to as a first operation which machine it will go second operation which machine will it go likewise in what route it will follow sequence of machines so as to complete its all operations and take it to the finish level. Scheduling yes everywhere we do need with job will come to which machine at what time that is a scheduling aspect very simplistically if I talk then dispatching it is nothing but you give the you release the shop orders is a document you can say nowadays may be digitized form but unless the orders are given for the manufacturing things won't begin for actual manufacturing so that dispatching and controlling yes against the planned quantities are you really manufacturing the required ones if not why know the reason take the action that's controlling then third group is inventory management that's a very biggest application the aspect when you really maintain your stores also incoming material their quantity checkup and which department should be given how much quantity the record of all these things nowadays people are using ERP software in that they have this particular thing as one of the major modules in that and it's a crux of manufacturing industry then is a total quality management there is no compromise on the quality and the concept of totality comes up in that wherein we look into all aspects all the stakeholders we consider their blamed in ultimately bringing out the quality of the product and other applications you can think of like in finance department marketing human resource department everywhere you will find lots of applications of industrial management I repeat again these are the few major applications compiled in certain perception in certain mode you will find little variations with the different authors also now coming to the scope of industrial management yes we are talking because there is a tremendous for the management if you see lots of many institutions are running lots of variety of courses and they are highly running and with that the very first if you see it aims at faster organizational growth organization has to grow that is for that thing you need management without management how the original grow how will you carry out the proper consumption what is called as the optimum consumption or utilization of the resources if you have these things optimally carried out then only your organization may develop may grow and there is tremendous scope for these applications of you know like scope is tremendous in the sense optimum utilization there are lots of techniques available if you just think of industrial engineering or operations research you will find hundreds of tools and techniques for optimum utilization. Second point is it can be seen as a promising solution for whom for the people those who are looking into higher careers so for career aspirants yes tremendous scope is there earlier also this are restricted to only manufacturing industries and nowadays service organizations are also included in that so the tremendous scope supply chain management with the mall culture if you see tremendous supply chain management things are being carried out with lot of scope it covers complete supply chain remember supply chain has been very vital issue nowadays and you can think of any mall you can think of any domain like automobile chemical textile FMCG any any type of product and their supply chain you need to manage very rightfully further to it it looks into managing all forms of inventory like raw material work in process as well as finished goods so in managing inventories it's a very very big task having lot of scope many industries are closed down their businesses if they cannot if they could not in the past maybe handle the inventories properly and again putting little grossly so scope if we think of it really addresses almost all the functionalities like production management maintenance management maybe it's a marketing sales finance HR legal any any department you think of management is expected to address all these issues living tremendous scope for industrial management in all walks of life as well as in all the departments of any organization maybe it is manufacturing or service here I recommend these five books but beyond this you can even refer lots of things available on internet also thank you
