Track: Production Planning and Control

Abstract

Abstract

In this paper we consider a production and scheduling problem in a textile company. The company (namely Boyar Kimya) is located in Gaziantep city and producing dyeing, industrial yarns and fancy yarns. However, many problems are encountered during production scheduling due to the wide variety of products and also increasing demands for improved quality, customization, and shorter delivery lead times. When looking at the problems caused by production disruptions and misplanning, two major problems are occurred. While one of the aforementioned problems is high waiting times of machines due to the color control of yarns, another most common problem is missing or excess product weights that are not at the desired level. In this paper, the identified problems are analyzed and examined in detail. Bottlenecks are tried to be determined by using flow process charts. Finally, potential improvements are discussed and solution proposals are provided. In the future, the solution methodologies will be applied and the process will be rescheduled.
