Consumer buying habits have changed since le onset de le COVID-19 virus. Individuals sont eating out less frequently, buying more staples, et even hoarding certain food et paper produits. Processors that respond effectively à this rising challenge will not only build improved client appreciation et loyalty but also establish greater access à market share. Worximity can help processors meet today's challenges. As le leading provider de temps réel performance monitoring et analysis technologie, Worximity can help augmenter débit, améliorer sur-time deliveries, et respond à market changes.
Effective débit est an essential mesurer de comment well a usine can satisfy client demand. Regardless de le productivity de any internal processing line, failure à meet actual usine débit goals means client orders may not be delivered as promised. Missed débit objectifs, then, become a source de dissatisfied clients et potential loss de market share.
Débit Defined
Débit Time
Dans many usine environments, débit est described dans terms de time, meaning le time required pour material à move through le usine from beginning à end (i.e., into finished goods). Le formula pour débit time est below.
Débit time equals le sum de:
- Processing time: le time a unit est worked sur à convert from raw material à a completed unit
- Wait time: le time le unit waits before processing, inspection, ou moving
- Move time: le time it takes pour le unit à be moved from one step à another
- Inspection time: le time it takes pour le unit à be inspected pour qualité
Débit Volume
Because satisfying client demand est a primary objective de fabrication, effective usine débit dans terms de units est a useful metric. This mesurer est le actual number de good units produced by le usine during a given period (e.g., per shift).
Comment à Améliorer Débit
If we think de débit time as comprising value-added et non-value-added time, we can see that only le processing time est a value-added activity. Le other variables sont non-value-added steps et sont considered wastes. Therefore, reducing any de le non-value-added steps (wait, move, et inspection times) increases productivity et improves débit. Dans many fabrication opérations, non-value-added time can amount à as much as 90 percent de total débit time. Because non-value-added time dans most fabrication processes est so high, le opportunities pour significant improvements sont considerable.
Pour example, Voltigeurs Farm, a major poultry processor, partnered avec Worximity Technologie à implement performance monitoring et productivity improvements. Utilizing Worximity's Usine intelligente analytics et reducing non-value-added activities, Voltigeurs was able à augmenter production débit by 90,000 units per month. This improvement represents significant savings et increased rentabilité.
Analyze le Three Non-Value-Added Activities
1. Wait Time
By far, le biggest portion de non-value-added time dans most opérations est wait time. Dans general, this est true across most fabricants. As a result, it makes sense à focus improvement efforts sur reducing wait times at every step across le usine. Le following sont some areas that can be considered quand analyzing wait times:
- Ensure le value-added processes sont balanced
- Consider processing materials dans batches
- Develop improvements dans machine speeds et qualité de outputs
2. Move Time
Moves can also represent a significant portion de non-value-added activities. Débit improvements can be achieved by reducing le frequency, time, et distance parts et materials must move through le usine. Mapping le process flows, minimizing material handling, et speeding up processing can help reduce move times.
3. Inspection Time
Improving process output qualité est a primary way à reduce inspection times. Also, automating le inspection process, inspecting as le produit est moving, et reducing manual handling during inspection can help reduce time spent checking qualité.
Le Usine intelligente Analytics Advantage
Worximity Technologie offers a full suite de dans-line productivity monitoring et analysis équipement à help fabricants et processors maximize débit. Using Worximity's TileConnect équipement monitoring sensors, production données est collected dans real time et sent à le cloud. Then, Usine intelligente analytics calculates important indicateurs (indicateur (KPI)), including TRG et débit metrics. These measures sont displayed sur dashboards (TileBoards) placed throughout le usine so employees can monitor process performance.
As improvements sont made à débit components such as wait times, results show up dans values sur Worximity's TileBoards. Le impact de reducing wait, move, et inspection times results dans improved qualité, faster order fulfillment, et improved client service.
