SUBJECT:
REVIEW OF THE CURRENT SITUATION
[This section discusses the reason for the report – why your
boss assigned you this project. It also provides discussion and
description of the current situation. What is the problem, what
are the data and information about the state of affairs, the
situation, etc. in the Plasti-Brack processes and areas of
concern.]
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
[This section provides the goals and objectives that you want to
accomplish for this project. Goals are the more general and
qualitative items you want to achieve, and objectives are more
specific and quantitative.]
ACTIONS/PLANS
[What do you propose to do to accomplish the goals? These
should be specific and detailed and focused on the areas of
concern in the Plasti-Brack processes and areas of concern. A
plan should include some sequence of actions, steps, etc., and if
possible, who should do them. What are the costs involved in
doing these actions?]
EXPLANATION/JUSTIFICATION
[Explain how the plan will accomplish the goals and objectives.
Clearly identify the connection between the plan, the various
actions and the various goals and objectives. What are the
benefits of achieving the goals, and do these benefits justify the
costs of doing them?]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/opm500emcadditionalinformationa-221112193114-f58329cc/85/OPM500-EMC-Additional-InformationA-EMC-Background-Information-docx-15-320.jpg)

F90, F100, F120A, F120B, F130, F135 · Novel item patented by Excellent · Unique design includes a simulated wood finish and color in the plastic insert · Allows it to be used both for internal and external construction · Very popular in deck, fence, and shed construction, as well as in home construction. Part number system. Each part, component, or raw material is numbered for ID purposes. This system uses the format: XnnnA. X is a prefix that denotes the type of part or material: R: Raw, S: steel, P: Plastic, F: Finished product, B-F: Bulk Packed Finishe product. nnn is the body of the part number and can be three to five digits A is the suffix which denotes different variations of the same or similar parts. For example, F120A is a finished, assembled part, 120 is the number for this specific part, the 120 degree Plasti-brack, and A is the small version (B is the larger version). SAMPLE DRAWING & SAMPLE PROCESS FLOW CHART Figure 1 shows a sample drawing of the F90. The P90 is the plastic insert, the S90 is the steel bracket and the F90 is the assembly of the P90 and S90. Figure 2 shows the process flow chart for the B-F90, which is the bulk packed F90.

EMC Plant Layout 1 Module 2 - EMC - Inventory NotesInventory Management NOTES ON INVENTORIES AND MATERIAL MOVEMENT EMC does not account for inventories on an individual product line basis. But data is available for the Construction Hardware Product Group - see below. Plasti-Brack is about 85% of this group, so using this info would be representative of the inventories for Plasti-Bracks. Plastic Injection Molding process: Plastic resin is moved to the molding machines where it is dumped into feeding hoppers for each machine. As the hopper empties, additional resin is dumped in. The plastic parts come out of the molding machines and are
- 14. trimmed where they are collected in 10 cu. ft. tubs. These tubs are moved to the Plasti-Brack assembly area. Metal Bracket Process: The plain brackets are stamped out by the progressive dies in the Plasti-Brack press machine group. They are also collected in 10 cu. ft. tubs and then moved to the Plasti-Brack assembly area. Assembly Process: In the assembly process, the operator will do a quick visual check of the plastic insert and the plain bracket before assembly. Bad parts are discarded into tubs. The plastic is recycled via a regrind process. The steel parts cannot be used again and sold for scrap with the rest of the scrap metal. Bulk Pack Process: The assembled Plasti-Brack items are collected in 10 cu. ft. tubs and are eventually moved to the Bulk Pack area. Once they are packed, they move into the Finished Goods Warehouse where they wait to be picked and packed in large shipping containers to the customers.
