Production Management
Abstract
Problem description – The production system as of to day does not function in a satisfying way. The paint shop causes most disturbances. To withhold customer satisfaction and meet the greater demands of the future, a increase in the paint shops efficiency is needed, through lead-times, productivity and amount of objects in progress. To proceed with structural changes studies are needed to map the flow of the factory and its variables. Current buffer situation show lack of both guidelines and levels.
Restrictions– All objects will maintain correct placement in sequence through the paint shop. Only static calculations will be used. Only the hauler framework is included. No physical changes of the material flow in side the different... (More)

To proceed with structural changes studies are needed to map the flow of the factory and its variables. Current buffer situation show lack of both guidelines and levels.
Restrictions– All objects will maintain correct placement in sequence through the paint shop. Only static calculations will be used. Only the hauler framework is included. No physical changes of the material flow in side the different sections. The assembly retain their way of consume and order new material.
Objective – The master thesis objective is to recover suitable levels for buffers adjacent to the paint shop, and also to find more efficient methods to increase the flow before and through the paint shop. Taking in consideration, the need for communication and control systems.
Method – The commissionaires want a detailed description of factory flow as it appears to day. The study is conducted as an exclusive case study concerning frame- and paint shop. This allows for a thorough examination of areas of concern.
Conclusions – Access and work procedures are key factors. The paint shops personnel must be given the possibility to choose correct item and thereby possibility to follow manufacturing sequence. A clear policy over workshop staff even acting and guidelines for the activity are necessary. There are required physical restructurings in order to create a basis for change and from there to build the trust to the system. (Less)
