What is in the model
- How it runs
- Stations work independently, with buffers between them
- Operators
- Day 06:00–22:00, 1 operator, 5 days a week
| Station | Cycle (s) | Buffer after |
|---|---|---|
| Load | 4 | 2 parts |
| Press | 6 | 2 parts |
| Weld | 9 | 2 parts |
| Inspect | 5 | 2 parts |
| Unload | 3 | 2 parts |
Every figure can be changed: rename anything, move it on the floor, add tasks, shifts or stations.
Things to try
- Find the bottleneck station and see how much an improvement there is worth.
- Shorten the changeover between lots and watch OEE move.
- Add buffer space between stations so one stoppage does not block the line.
- Run lights-out and see what an unattended night adds.
