WEEK 4 Flashcards
Reduce waste, minimize material handling, and optimize resource utilization.
Minimize Costs
Increase production capacity, shorten lead times, and achieve higher throughput.
Maximize Output
Identify and eliminate constraints that hinder production flow.
Reduce Bottlenecks:
Ensure consistent and reliable production by minimizing errors and defects.
Stabilize Product
Deliver products or services that meet or exceed customer expectations.
Improve Customer Satisfaction
Respond quickly and effectively to changes in demand, product design, or technology.
Adapt to Change
Produce a range of products or services efficiently, even with varying production volumes.
Handle Variety
Minimize workplace hazards and ensure the well-being of employees.
Create a Safe Environment
Design layouts that promote comfort, reduce fatigue, and enhance worker productivity.
Optimize Workstations
Reduce wasted motion and travel time for workers and materials.
Minimize Unnecessary Movement
Ensure smooth communication and coordination between departments.
Facilitate Information Flow
In this layout, similar machines or activities are grouped together, allowing for flexibility and accommodating a variety of product types.
process layout
is a manufacturing arrangement that groups machines into cells, each dedicated to producing a specific family of parts or products.
cellular layout
also known as a line layout, is a manufacturing arrangement where workstations are arranged in a sequential order to produce high volumes of standardized products.
product layout
refers to a comprehensive approach that integrates various design technologies and tools to streamline the design process.
Computer-Integrated Design
involves the use of computer software to create precise and detailed technical drawings and plans.
Computer-Aided Drafting
is a design approach that focuses on the centralized control and coordination of automated systems within a manufacturing environment.
Centralized Automation Design
is a manufacturing method where products are produced in a continuous flow with standardized processes and high volumes.
Repetitive Processing
is a production method where items are manufactured in groups or batches, typically with moderate volumes and some customization.
Batch Processing
is a manufacturing facility that produces custom or unique products in low volumes with high customization.
Job Shop
is a manufacturing method where products are produced without interruption in a continuous flow.
Continuous Processing
the product remains stationary, and machinery and equipment are brought to the product to complete the manufacturing process.
Fixed-Position Layout
costs refer to the rise in expenses related to employee wages, benefits, and associated expenses within a manufacturing operation.
Increasing labor
processes involves optimizing and improving the efficiency of manufacturing operations to enhance productivity and reduce wast
Streamlining production processes
Standardized Products are manufactured in large quantities with uniform specifications and features.
High Volume, Standardized Products
