Track: Lean and Six Sigma
Abstract
Manufacturing processes can be optimized with many different methods. However, the effectiveness and interaction of methods are often difficult to estimate. To date, shop floor improvement methods in series production are not scientifically analyzed by using a business simulation and the selected methods 5S, Poka Yoke, Kanban and Standard Work Sheet. The academic study aims to close the research gap with a business simulation and the generated data using design of experiments. This depicts a new combination for research. The lead time is selected as KPI. First results and interactions were found.
