Management of Manufacturing Systems’ Adapting and Dynamic State Times
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2009, Vol 10, Issue 27
Abstract
This paper contains a checking of the times consumed on the manufacturing flow. Operational, auxiliary, adapting and dynamic regime times, for different manufacturing tasks and organizational types are pointed out and calculated. Determination of the item’s and batch’s manufacturing time, under the conditions of serial and parallel disposal of the workstations has been had in view. It starts from pointing out the motions within and outside of the workstation. Possible organizing cases of the activities needed for the system’s adaptation to the manufacture of a new item and the consequences of partly overlapping the transient regime time on the adapting time, have been checked. By calculating adapting and transient regime times for each of the cases identified hereby as being possible, premises of drawing up managerial decision variants have been created. The determination of these times is useful in fixing performances related to the system’s output and to the calculation of manufacturing costs. They are essential in designing manufacturing systems. The optimal management of the item change adapting times and of the transitory regime times represents an important requirement of the actual economic reality. Ensuring the market competitiveness, presumes manufacturing cost reductions, firmly respected supplying terms and small manufacturing batches.
