Alignment of the production cycle by splitting a batch of sub-assembly units during the manufacturing process
At the present stage, the production process at a machine-building enterprise includes technological, warehouse, loading and unloading, transport, as well as picking and other processes. Engineering production is characterized as complex. As part of the manufacture of products, the first step is the creation of a batch of assembly parts. This first step has a significant impact on the dynamics and rhythm of production in the engineering industry. She often actualizes the need for its alignment. The latter can be successfully carried out by crushing a batch of sub-assembly units during the manufacturing process. The article reveals the so-called "symptomatic" methods for solving the problem of splitting a batch of assembly parts. Especially when the problem has already arisen and it is very important to "eliminate the symptoms" as soon as possible. Also, the article also describes "preventive methods" aimed at preventing the occurrence of such situations in the future. Examples and techniques based on the use of the software product "1C: ERP Enterprise Management 2" are given. The importance of determining the number of assembly kits of parts, as well as the volumes of their operational batches, which ensure the continuity of mechanical assembly production and at the same time minimize stocks, is emphasized. It is indicated that when calculating the optimal number of assembly kits, unproductive time expenditures must be taken into account directly for technological complexes, invariantly of their specialization. The use of special automated, technological and computational methods for crushing a batch of assembly parts in the manufacturing process at a machine-building enterprise can increase the efficiency of the functioning of both a separate workshop and the enterprise as a whole.
