Q

Trade-off (inventory costs between customer service) make-to-stock can be improved by (4):

A
  1. Better knowledge of customer demand
  2. Faster transportation
  3. Faster production
  4. Flexible manufacturing

Use lean manufacturing to achieve higher service levels for a given inventory investment

Q

Workcenter Layout (Referred to Job Shop)

A

Arrange workcenter in a way that optimizes movement of material. Competes on quality, speed, customization but not on economies of scale. Similar machines grouped together to work on different products.

Q

Manufacturing Cell Development. 3 step processs

A
  1. Group parts into families that follow a common sequence of steps
  2. Identify dominant flow patterns for each part family
  3. Machines and associated processes are physically regrouped into cells

Q

Production System Designs (2)

A
  1. Assembly line
  2. Continuous Process
17
Q

Assembly Line

A

Work processes are arranged according to progressive steps the product makes

18
Q

Continuous Process

A

Similar to assembly line but is continuous. High economies of scale

19
Q

Sort Production Process design (High volume- Low volume)

A
  1. Continuous Process
  2. Assembly line
  3. Manufacturing cell
  4. Workcenter layout
  5. Project layout
