Abstract:
Manufacturers today are producing a wider range of products than ever, so assembly operations must be as flexible as possible. But the high variety of products, shared resources and uncertain demand of these manufacturing environments can be challenging to the flow. That’s why operations use mixed-model value streams to increase efficiency, quality and on-time delivery. This webinar, based on the best-selling book by Kevin Duggan, Creating Mixed Model Value Streams, will explain – step-by-step – how to apply advanced lean techniques to design mixed model value streams. Attendees will leave armed with the insights to create a future state that supports mixed model production at the pull of the customer.
What you'll learn:
- The best way to determine product families and which equipment should be dedicated to a family versus shared
- How to calculate takt capability to meet different rates of customer demand
- The importance of establishing a pacemaker to determine the speed at which the value stream will operate – and how to create one even when processes are separated by distance or have imbalanced cycle times
- New concepts on sequencing, such as FIFO lanes and offset scheduling
