Download or read book Aligning Tool Set Metrics for Operation in a Multi Technology High Mix Low Volume Manufacturing Environment written by Alyson Bourne Naughton and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ireland Fab Operations (IFO) is transitioning and leading the way within Intel to Multi- Technology High Mix Low Volume (MT-HMLV) manufacturing. To avoid errors in estimating metrics, specific capacity tool set metrics for this manufacturing environment now need to be considered. Approximations for high volume manufacturing may be far enough from MT-HMLV realities that company revenue is affected by making delivery commitments that can not be met. The Intel Model of Record (MOR) which is used to determine the number of each tool set needed to produce a given volume of product does not consider MT-HMLV realities. Things such as product change-overs, cross qualified tools, and smaller than 'normal' lot sizes can create chaos on the manufacturing floor that has not been traditionally accounted for.
Download or read book Lean Manufacturing System Design and Value Stream Management in a High mix Low volume Environment written by Matthew David Gates and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value Stream Mapping is a powerful tool for identifying sources of waste and for creating the vision for the future state of a production system. As a management tool, however, it lacks in specific focus of roles, responsibilities, and actions required to achieve the future state vision. The limitations become more evident and the problems of execution become exacerbated when multiple value stream projects are launched with limited human resources available. This thesis describes a set of management tools to complement Value Stream Mapping. The tools are expected to improve management visibility and accountability. The design of a lean production system is also proposed in this thesis. The lean production system includes a newly designed layout for the manufacturing cell as well as the "operating system" for the cell. The layout is based on the principles of cellular manufacturing in order to promote flow and improve quality. The operating system includes such things as production batch sizes, product routings, and strategic inventory locations. Based on the future state value stream map and supported by a discrete-event simulation, the new operating system is designed to align the lean strategy with the technical capabilities of the manufacturing line. As confirmed by the simulation, implementation of the new production system is expected to reduce lead time for the cell by 2/3, realize a corresponding one-time reduction in inventory of $350,000, and increase on-time delivery of the cell to over 97%. In total, the project has a three-year net present value exceeding a quarter of a million dollars.
Download or read book Applying Lean Manufacturing Concepts to a High mix Low volume Make to Order Environment written by Andrew Rodriguez (M.B.A.) and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite research documenting the operational benefits achieved by reducing the number of product offerings, manufacturing businesses frequently serve markets in which customers demand a large variety of products with options across multiple features at irregular intervals. To meet customer requirements across a range of possible demand, businesses manage the high mix and low volume by choosing to make-to-order instead of make-to-stock. While principles of Lean Manufacturing have been recognized as enablers of operational excellence in high volume production operations, questions remain about the applicability of the concepts in high-mix, low-volume, make-to-order environments. This project explores the applicability of Lean concepts within this manufacturing environment at PSI Control Solutions (PSI), a mid-sized business assembling electrical distribution and control products for industrial consumers. To stay competitive, the business must provide high quality, cost competitive products that meet customer specifications with minimal lead times. Within this organization, the primary research areas for applying Lean concepts were component replenishment policy and production process improvement. After a production cell applied the methods of eliminating waste, mistake proofing, and pull, it increased the percent of sales delivered on time to the customer desired date from 85.7% to 100% over subsequent 3 month periods and improved product first pass-yield from 87.9% to 93.1% over 6 month periods.

Download or read book Digital and Social Media Marketing written by Nripendra P. Rana and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues and implications of digital and social media marketing for emerging markets. These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others. A radical increase in both temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence on brands, products, and services. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital media are having a significant impact on the way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and material needs. These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.

This book was released on 2007-06-08 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear reader! In your hand you have the second book from the series “XXI Century Techno- gies. ” The first book under the title “Manufacturing Technologies for Machines of the Future” was published by “Springer” in 2003. This book is aimed at solving one of the basic problems in the development of modern machine-building – working out of technologies and manufacturing equipment which would promote the continuous development and improvement of the final product design, rapidly “adaptable” to the requirements of the market as for the quantity, quality, and variety of products manufactured with the lowest cost and minimum time and labor of the product process. In this book the problems of theory and practice of development in the reconfigurable manufacturing systems and transformable factories for various machine-building branches with a focus on automotive industry are discussed. The problems concerning the development of a new class of production systems which in comparison to the flexible manufact- ing systems are composed of a far less quantity of machine-tools (reduced cost of production) are discussed. In comparison to the conventional automated lines (dedicated systems) they make it possible to rapidly transform the equipment for new products manufacturing. The book has some advantages concerning the art of scientific ideas and the presentation of developments.
