ALGORITHM OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTINUOUS FLOW IN UNBALANCED PRODUCTION UNIT CONDITION – CASE STUDY
Journal Title: Research in Logistics & Production - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
This article shows step by step process of creating general algorithm saying how to implement continuous flow in production companies. Article is based on real environment of medium Polish production company, which produces steel halls. After presenting basic information about TOC and LEAN tools it shows and algorithm showing activities and sequence made in real company. Authors proposed solutions referred to both the material flow changing's and the information flow changing's. Main goal was adapt production process to unchangeable work of bottleneck. After all, results of production flow simulation after implementation of above solutions were presented. Finally, authors created algorithm based on techniques and tools implemented in mentioned company. It shows in general what production engineers should do step by step while implementing continuous flow in production.
