AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY \ JIT Validation
Throughput Validation & Transportation Study
Key Points
- Validate JIT Process
- Analyze Truck Delivery System
- Plant to Plant Logistic Analysis
- Evaluate system capability to support Client's Broadcast and JIT consumption
- To Decide number of Trucks, Truck Density and Delivery time
- Tipping point of increasing number of Trucks vs. decreasing Truck Density in order to meet JIT consumption
- Analysis of Data and Verification of Baseline Model
- Sensitivity analysis on number of Trucks
- Quantify Impact of Broadcast Repair time on System
- Buffer recovery time analysis
- Lead times analysis
Findings & Recommendation
- AS-RS System is not required
- Identified circumstances that can cause the client's buffer go
below minimum level
- Recommendation
- Permissible maximum Down "Time" on production
system without affecting the throughput
- Number of truck drivers for various scenarios
- Truck density to meet the expected Throughput
