ABSTRACT:
A method of demonstrating the advantage in production efficiency of non-synchronous conveyor lines over synchronous conveyor lines. There is provided an elongated diagram illustrating parallel conveyor lines with an equal number of paired, opposed operator work stations in each line, one line representing a synchronous line and the other line representing a non-synchronous line, the non-synchronous line being provided with queue patterns between each work station. There is an electrically controlled work station box between each pair of opposed synchronous and non-synchronous work stations on the mat, each box having a set of "go
o-go" visual indicators. A signal controller is coupled to each of the operating station boxes, the controller being programmed to provide control signals in a random fashion to each of the paired work stations. A plurality of workpieces are provided for each conveyor line. Operators positioned at each of the synchronous and non-synchronous work stations are given instructions for each synchronous station to respond to a "go" indication at his work station to transfer the workpiece from that work station to the next work station and for the non-synchronous operator to respond to a "go" indication at his work station to transfer the workpiece from that work station to the next available position in the queue pattern between his work station and the next work station while simultaneously transferring a workpiece into his work station from the queue pattern preceding his work station.
