Value stream mapping method for development of a dynamic model of capacity utilization

Abstract

For multi-product small-scale manufacturing, for example the production of electronic equipment, the searching of methods and tools for production planning is relevant. One of the basic tools for planning is the model of enterprise capacity utilization. The purpose of this research is to develop a model and software allowed the company to calculate the optimal capacity utilization. The paper considers the use of value stream mapping method for development of a manufacturing dynamic model. This method allows creating the interaction logic and collecting data and parameters for each system components. The purpose of the value stream analysis is to find a transit solution from the current production state to a more efficient, which allows loading the production capacity in optimal mode. In the analysis, the manufacturing data of the finished products assembly shop of a radio-electronic enterprise is used. According to the results of use the proposed method, the duration of the assembly process was significantly reduced, which makes it possible to equalize the load of work centers and to reduce the volume of unfinished production.
