Dramatic reduction of in-process parts (WIP) through the installation of a low cost component transfer system.
Concern
After taking into account these facility and layout constraints from the Breitling Replica Watches ideal scenario, a gravity fed ( Kara Kuri ) concept was devised to transfer parts around the line.
Concern
Traditional part transfer methods through a manual process led to an excessive amount of work in progress (WIP) parts. In addition to the quantity of parts, Panerai Replica UK the method hindered future development plans.
Objective
Our objective was to consider part transfer alternatives that would work with and not against future plans.
Method
Our first task was to understand the future development plans and Cheap Breitling Replica develop the ideal process layout without considering part flow as a constraint.
After taking into account these facility and layout constraints from the Breitling Replica Watches ideal scenario, a gravity fed ( Kara Kuri ) concept was devised to transfer parts around the line.
Result
-
Operator care benefits were seen.
-
Reduced "double handling" of parts
-
94% reduction in WIP levels were seen.
-
Future development plans progressed on schedule.
