Rules of thumb for designing transformation systems
4 important questions on Rules of thumb for designing transformation systems
What are the first 2 of the 5 'golden' rules for designing transformation systems?
- Large differences in volume and demand frequency require separate facilities
- Vergt totaal verschillende strategieën die niet (makkelijk) in 1 facility samen gaan
- True quality commitment requires using Statistical Processing Control techniques by operators
- Veel checks. Dan kun je ook makkelijk feedback geven aan de juiste persoon/machine
What are the other 3 'golden' rules for designing transformation systems?
4. Rigorously drive down machine setup times
- Set up times heel belangrijk bij balanceren van assembly line
Niet als gegeven zien, maar als eraan doen om set up time te verminderen
5. Introduce IT if and only if the system is a smoothly , well organized system. (Do not use IT as a carrier for organizational changes)
Recap: what are the 5 rules of thumb(=vuistregels) for designing transformation systems?
- Large differences in volume and demand frequency require separate facilities
- True quality commitment requires using Statistical Processing Control techniques by operators
- Carefully analyze future demands regarding volume, variety, rate of new product introduction before designing transformation systems
- Rigorously drive down machine setup times
- Introduce IT if and only if the system is a smoothly , well organized system. (Do not use IT as a carrier for organizational changes)
