Mixed Model Sequencing – Summary

Christoph Roser — Tue, 06 Aug 2019 11:00:51 +0000

Mixed Model Sequencing to manage different product types with different work content is tricky. This is now the twelfth post of this series. I knew it would be long, but I never guessed that it would be that many posts. This is almost a book (and will probably be part of a book in the ... Read more

Mixed Model Sequencing – Complex Example Verification

Christoph Roser — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 11:00:40 +0000

As part of a much larger series on Mixed Model Sequencing, this post describes how to verify the sequence quality. It also describes how to determine the required buffer spaces to buffer against these fluctuations in workload. There may be some wiggle room here. Read on: Verify Sequence Quality Next, we have to verify the ... Read more

In this seventh post on Mixed Model Sequencing, I will finish the sequencing of the more complex example with Product-Dependent Workload and Mixed Model Sequencing. This is now the tenth post in this series. I knew this sequencing topic was demanding, but even I am surprised how much there is to cover. Thanks for staying ... Read more

Mixed Model Sequencing – Complex Example Sequencing 1

Christoph Roser — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 11:00:57 +0000

Sequencing products due to different workloads of different products at different workstations is tricky. This is now the sixth post on Mixed Model Sequencing, and we finally start with our sequence! Wohooo! Sequence the First Product The first product to be sequenced is usually easy; it is the biggest rock you have (i.e., the part ... Read more

Mixed Model Sequencing – Complex Example Data Basis

Christoph Roser — Tue, 09 Jul 2019 11:00:43 +0000

Having a product mix with different workloads at different stations is challenging. Hence this is getting to be a pretty long series of blog posts on Mixed Model Sequencing. Let’s continue: Get the Quantities to Be Produced The next step is a smaller one. You need to figure out the quantities that have to be ... Read more

Mixed Model Sequencing – Complex Example Introduction

Christoph Roser — Tue, 02 Jul 2019 11:00:00 +0000

In this rather long series of posts on Mixed Model Sequencing to handle product-dependent workload, we are finally getting to the most complex part: Sequencing of products when multiple stations have product-dependent workloads. Read on: How To Address Multiple Workload Imbalances In the following I will describe an approach on how to create a sequence ... Read more

Mixed Model Sequencing – Basic Example Sequencing

Christoph Roser — Tue, 25 Jun 2019 11:00:12 +0000

Mixed Model Sequencing is one way to handle products that have different workloads on a production line. In this post I continue to describe the basics if there is only one station where products vary in workload. This is part of a (rather long) series of posts on product-dependent workload. In my next posts I ... Read more

Mixed Model Sequencing – Basic Example Workload and Buffering

Christoph Roser — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 11:00:06 +0000

Adjusting the production sequence is a popular way of handling production lines with a product-dependent workload. This post is part of rather long series on Mixed Model Sequencing. In the last post I discussed the basics of sequencing and the calculation of the takt time. This post describes the basics of adjusting workload and buffering ... Read more
