Batch Sizes in Push Manufacturing Operations Planning, Scheduling and Control Track Abstract: Isn't Push manufacturing dead and 1 the best batch size? Many manufacturing companies still use a Push system and they do so with batches of more than 1! They need to produce with little risk of late completion. To reflect this need, a new measurement, MUST (1%) (Minimum Upper Supply Time) was introduced. This is the throughput time that is only exceeded on 1% of occasions. The paper discusses the results of a series of simulation trials and the relationships which emerge between production batch size, plant utilization, average throughput time, WIP and MUST (1%).

متن کاملDetermining Transfer Batch Sizes in Trip-Based Material Handling Systems
Trip-based material handling systems such as AGV systems or lift trucks are often designed with a given flow matrix (or from-to chart), which typically shows the number of loaded trips that the devices must perform per unit time between the workstations. A from-to chart that would result from the parts flow in a facility actually is dictated by the transfer batch size; that is, the number of pa...

User requirements and low-cost small quantity production are new challenges for the modern manufacturing industry. This means that small batch sizes or even the manufacturing of one single product should be affordable. To make such a system cost-effective it should be capable to use the available production resources for many different products in parallel. This paper gives a description of the...

The fabrication of complex-shaped parts out of (wt %) Co-28Cr-6Mo alloy by three-dimensional printing (3DP) was studied using two grades of the alloy with average particle sizes of 20 and 75 μm. To produce sound specimens, 3DP processing parameters were tuned. The sintering behavior of the powders was characterized by the dilatometric analysis. Batch sintering in argon atmosphere at 1280 °...
