1. 1. Identifying factors that cause inventory build-ups and how to solve it

   University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

   Author : Anders Eriksson; Anes Music; [2019]
   Keywords : Lean; KANBAN; Internal logistics; FIFO; Inventory build-ups; standardized work;

   Abstract : Companies have put much focus on production systems to generate and maintain competitiveness which has contributed in less focus to logistics. The material flow is the process after the main processes and has therefore been regarded as “unimportant”. READ MORE

3. 2. Time study and flow-simulation : Current and future analysis

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

   Author : Rasmus Gustafsson; [2019]
   Keywords : Time study; flow simulation; discrete-event simulation; lean; throughput; data collection;

   Abstract : Discrete-event simulations are increasingly being used to solve problems and to aid in decision making which are proving useful in the manufacturing industry. The main aim for this thesis was to compare the current production line and how implementing changes for a future state as a supporting basis for making the decision. READ MORE

5. 4. Production Control MechanismsComparison using Multi-ObjectiveSimulation Optimization

   University essay from Institutionen för teknik och samhälle

   Author : Muhammad Irfan Zia; [2009]
   Keywords : Production Control Mechanisms; Varibility Imbalance; Multi-objective Simulation optimization;

   Abstract : The choice of an efficient and effective production control mechanism (PCM)along with the appropriate buffer allocation pattern is very important for anyproduction engineer/decision maker when designing a production line in order toattain the required system performance. This project work aims to give an insightwith different PCMs, different buffer allocation patterns and arrangement ofworkers of different capability to help the production engineers/decision makersto select the right mechanism and pattern.
