ABSTRACT:
A method of output management of processing in a manufacturing plant with a plurality of stages during a running period. The method begins with the step of determining the stage In Flow of Work In Process (WIP) in the plant, determining the Out Flow of WIP in the plant, and calculating Flow Intensity of the plant, followed by calculating the equipment Capacity of the plant. The next steps are to calculate Equipment Capacity allocation of the plant, determine the bottleneck Stage Capacity of stages in the plant, determine the Rolling Output of the plant, followed by calculation of the Remaining Work In Process of the plant. Data on the Daily Output is collected. Remaining Work In Process is duplicated as Initial WIP for the next day. Testing is made to determine whether the running period has ended, and until the running period has ended, the method repeatedly loops back to the In Flow step.
