Dear Ananth, yet another wonderful article and you have covered all the points very well. The maintenance of the MHEquipment is an additional ocst, for skilled technicians and downtime.
Another aspect is I come from an Auto industry and was at the shop floor of the Press Shop. The Press shop knew only Batch production, as the Presses available were far less than the number of parts being produced. Yes we would then monitor the FG qty and schedule the next batch about 4-5 days before the expected consumption date. I guess it is the same situaiton at other Auto manufacturers too.
Please share your views, you can use the above example as a question and share your views.
Thank You Mr. Mahendra Gupte for your wonderful comment. Yes, presses have less cycle times so we need to use Supermarket concept to limit the WIP in the system.
