LEAN Manufacturing to Product Assembly
- Learn How to Design the Assembly Process:
Be Fast and Cost Efficient
In The Shortest Time
Consistently Deliver On Time
React to Changes in Demand Patterns
Maintain Full Labor Utilization
Learn how to design a dynamic assembly process with full point of use materials, fast change over, full labor utilization that can double output when needed to meet customer demand changes.
This is how to maintain short customer time to market.
This Class covers everything from simple “pick and place” up to “complex assembly” for Make and Engineer to order type products. Real world examples will be used and shown.
See an equipment manufacturer with large complex, make to order products who can take an order today for any configuration then build and ship next day simultaneously for seventeen different configured products. See how this is accomplished in a single well designed assembly process.
Learn How Designing the Assembly Process Class Will:
- Create dynamic cost efficient assembly process.
- Assemble products in the shortest time.
- Determine best practices for setting up workstations, assembly lines, floor space utilize, materials handling & rapid changeover.
- Best support tool practices for documentation, procedures, tooling & designing assembly fixtures.
- Show how to react to demand changes, maintain full labor utilization & ability to double output when needed.
- Illustrate special considerations for different types of demand patterns for products with low to high mix:
Continuous & varying demand.
Lumpy demand.
Infrequent demands.
Continuous & varying demand with infrequent large spikes in demand.
Variable mix demand of make & engineer to order, MTO & ETO products.
- Set up & maintain full point of use assembly operation. Learn best methods for materials handling, part resupply. Maintaining excellent inventory record accuracy with back flushing or automatic inventory issuing.
- Schedule rules to use when assembling ahead to be positioned for new customer orders.
