Smoothing of the aggregate production requirements by appropriate quota setting Pertinent sequencing of the final assembly to support a desired product mix Use of buffer capacity (planned overtime)Prof.protectChahal slippages to Rushen against from the target production rates
Institutionalizing the JIT practice through the KANBAN-based Production Authorization Mechanism Station 1 Station 2 Station 3
Remarks: The KANBANS at each station cap the WIP at that station and they offer a natural
mechanism for reacting to various disruptions taking place in the system operation. In particular, production at each station is pulled as a result of the downstream activity rather than pushed by an MPS-generated schedule. The KANBANS at each station should be set at a level that enables production at the target rate A safe approach to set the KANBAN level at each station is by setting it initially to the historical WIP level, and subsequently decrease it incrementally while observing its impact on the production rate Frequent KANBAN changes are ineffective, sinceProf. Rushen Chahal of the line is the production rate rather insensitive to these changes, and they should be avoided
Why? It maintains the WIP cap but at the same time it offers more operational flexibility than
KANBAN. The unrestricted flow of WIP within the line enables better utilization of the (shifting) bottleneck, and therefore, higher throughput. Less stress for the line operators since it enables them to work at the natural pace of the line. It enables more flexible scheduling of the line, since in the CONWIP operational context, WIP is interpreted more generally as some aggregate amount of workload loaded into the line (even measured in time-units, rather than number of parts) new parts are pulled from an available work backlog according to a pertinent set of dispatching rules. Easier to analyze and parameterize through the theory of closed-queueing networks. Remark: While the above features of CONWIP mitigate the rigidity of the KANBAN-based shop-floor control, its pull nature still implies that it requires stable target production rates Prof. Rushen Chahal in order to function well, and therefore, it is appropriate for repetitive manufacturing contexts.
