“Chaos on the floor means profits out the door.” Judging by the number of people who complain about it, scheduling must be one of the most challenging problems in the job shop world. Schedule changes add cost but these costs are hidden. There is no line on your income statement that says “Cost of rescheduling orders in production.”
This module shows you how to avoid chaos and increase on-time ship performance. There are any number of schedule interruptions…customers changing requirements, changing dates, quoting too short lead times, lack of capacity management, and emergency orders among other things.
This module provides a blueprint for a scheduling system, as well as describes the organizational relationships required to move work through the shop smoothly.
Pre-production is one of the most difficult areas to manage in a job shop. There is no department of pre-production, and all the necessary activities are independent of each other (e.g., engineering, purchasing, materials management, routing, quality checks, production planning, scheduling, and specialized training). The objective of this module is to show you how to look at production and pre-production together, and how to coordinate pre-production activities in order to increase the volume of work through the shop (capacity improvement). Expect better on time ship performance as well.
This learning module also illustrates different types of waste and delay, and how to combat them.
