Picking cycle (approximately the same number of parts picked from cycle-to-cycle). |
 |
Part (pick each unique part number as smoothly as possible at each location, and for
all parts across all locations). |
 |
Region (pick all parts in this region as smoothly as possible). |
 |
The system then manages the printing of the fulfillment kanban cards at each picking
region, for each cycle while tracking unmet demand (no parts in bin). |
 |
The system also provides floor-wide visibility of team member performance for each
cycle and each picking region and order completion. |
 |
An additional feature of the system is that it groups the optimized solution into
production buckets and transmits the orders to the production system "pre-leveled". The
production system then indicates production times that provides parts "just-in-time" so
that stock on hand of finished goods is limited to hours or minutes of supply. |
