Overview
This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to control shop floor inventory and production schedules through the implementation of pull systems. Participants will learn how to design and establish a visually driven, employee-controlled material replenishment system that enhances efficiency and responsiveness. The course covers the implementation of both repetitive and non-repetitive pull systems, setting up point-of-use material storage, and integrating with planning systems. Additionally, students will learn how to balance lot sizes based on capacity rather than economic order quantity, ensuring optimal inventory management.
