Simulation support of lean layout considerations for new products: a case from large scale products

摘要: Planning a new production line for product presents many opportunities to build best practice techniques into the system. Set against unknown quantities may be certain requirements system lean, have flexibility respond market changes or make use of existing equipment factory space. The can include: anticipated demand volumes, assembly and processing sequences, specific processes, lead-times parts components even late design after manufacturing/production decisions been made. Simulations used consider different scenarios compare how well alternative approaches meet defined requirements. [Continues.]
