What is in the model
- How it runs
- Stations work independently, with buffers between them
- Lots
- 6,000 parts per lot, with a changeover between lots
- Operators
- Early 06:00–14:00, 2 operators; Late 14:00–22:00, 2 operators, 5 days a week
| Station | Cycle (s) | Buffer after |
|---|---|---|
| Rinse | 1.5 | 6 parts |
| Fill | 12 | 12 parts |
| Cap | 1.8 | 6 parts |
| Label | 1.6 | 6 parts |
| Pack | 1.5 | – |
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.
