I´m working with a production line with a high mix of products. The line runs units in 3 different sizes (small, med, larg) and each of these have different configurations according to customer requerements, like this: Unit 1 (Large, including options A1, A2,B1 and C3) Unit 2 (Small, including options A1, D1, D3, Z).
The option A1 takes longer to build than the one from unit 2, due to size. I´ve got like 100 different options for each size and the mix is not leveled (constant).
What would be the best approach to define cycle times for the manufacturing process? Do I need to take time for each fo the different options (100 x 3 different sizes)?
Thanks.
Answer:
Boy. That's a tough one.
It takes a Production Manager to reply to this question, but in general u need to consider an
AVERAGE vs. STATISTICAL & NUMERICAL FIGURES
to base your reply on against your own question...
