Explore the difference between push and pull demand in manufacturing, the challenges they present, the traditional design method, concurrent manufacturing, and the benefits and drawbacks of flexible manufacturing systems. Learn how different approaches impact production efficiency.
E N D
Two types of demand • Push • Pull • Which would you prefer to have as a manufacturer? • Why can that be tricky?
What is the traditional design method? • Each department produces its own design. • Eg, frame, • then engine, • then body, • then electrics, • then internal finish • Hopefully it will all fit
Quick response Manufacturing • Works to customer demand • Makes use of Just in Time (JIT) and Total Quality Management systems TQM • Makes extensive use of adaptable manufacturing cells • What are the advantages of this? • What can be a problem? • Why might it not work?
Concurrent manufacturing • Definition • existing, happening, or done at the same time • What does this mean for a production line? • An example • http://www.concurrentmfg.com/# • It is all about the design stage
Flexible manufacturing systems • http://www.technologystudent.com/prddes1/flexbl1.html • http://www.technologystudent.com/prddes1/flexbl2.html
