Flowlines: The prevailing layout for High Volume Manufacturing Topics Production Flow in High Volume Discrete Part Manufacturing Manufacturing System Layouts Manufacturing Flowlines and their variations Synchronous Transfer Lines Asynchronous Flowlines and the Push vs. Pull dilemma Asynchronous Transfer Lines KANBAN-based Lines CONWIP-based Lines Discrete Part Manufacturing Systems Production Flow in discrete part manufacturing A typical Organization of the Production Activity in High Volume Discrete Part Manufacturing Organizing the Workflow for Backend Operations: Major Layout Types Fixed Product Layout Workpiece remains fixed and the various processes are brought to it Used primarily in ship-building. Sometimes can be the preferred layout when high levels of precision are in order. Production activity is controlled through project management related practices. Product Layout or Flowline Each part has its own dedicated production line. The line for each part is organized in a way that facilitates the corresponding production flow. Easy to manage and supervise However, a capital-intensive proposition Production volumes must be sufficiently large Process Layout or Job Shop Facility is organized into departments supporting different functions Production lots are visiting these departments according to their processing needs (process plans) Can result in high equipment utilization and operational flexibility But it also incurs extensive material handling and long production times Necessitates involved production planning and scheduling Appropriate for low-volume production of a large, volatile portfolio of parts Group or Cellular Layout Parts are grouped into families based on the similarity of their processing requirements. Each family gets a dedicated production facility, known as production cell. Typically cells operate as switching flowlines, with switching taking place between the production of batches of different part types. Frequently switching ca
