Is this happening in your production workshop, in your team?
Some station employees have nothing to do, some station employees are so busy that they fly, and employees complain constantly:
Employee Xiao Li: What's going on? There are more and more products, and we are tired like dogs here, but their back-end employees have nothing to do at all, so don't be so cheating.
Employee Xiao He: Up to now, our post-process employees have not even seen the shadow of the products to be processed, so they can only be in a hurry. It seems that trying to get off work on time today has come to naught.
If something like this is happening at your production site, then you must learn how to arrange production tasks reasonably! Otherwise, if you continue like this, your production task will definitely not be completed.
So today, let's talk about the six principles and methods of production task arrangement.
The first principle: the principle of priority for urgent orders
We have to give priority to the urgent orders of the day, and then use the color to make eye-catching notes in the production schedule, and give priority to production.
The principle of priority is like if you are driving to work and suddenly an ambulance comes from behind, and you have to immediately keep to the right and let him go first.
After color-marking, it should be emphasized before the shift and used as the focus of the day's inspection, or a special person should be assigned to follow up. This way our team members know what products to prioritize.
The second principle: the principle of delivery priority
Delivery priority is given, that is, those who deliver first do it first, and those who deliver it later do it. The specific method is to first identify the delivery order in the production task of the day, and then prioritize the order with the most recent delivery date for production and mark the production order.
Some partners may have to ask, the urgent order should be given priority, and the delivery date should also be given priority. Which of these two takes precedence?
Remember, the urgent order is prioritized over other orders to arrange production, and then follow the principle of delivery priority in the ordinary order.
The third principle: the principle of quality first
In this process, what we need to do is to mark out the products and new products that are difficult to produce, and arrange them for the production of technical backbone and equipment with good technical status. At the same time, the manager, who is our team leader, needs to participate in the first article and process quality confirmation.
The fourth principle: the principle of load balancing
We mentioned the "bottleneck process" in the previous article, and load balancing refers to the arrangement of production tasks of teams and teams, and the load balancing of each process should be considered. If the bottleneck process is not handled properly, it is easy to cause the situation at the beginning of the article that the products in the previous process are piled up and the material is carried in the later process.
So how can we avoid it? We can solve the problem by improving the bottleneck capacity or working overtime in the bottleneck process, and reserve small batches and work-in-progress for the subsequent process.
The fifth principle: the principle of reducing changeovers
The production line will not be produced all the time, the same product, need to be often changed between product models, so it is necessary to consider the principle of reducing changeovers, the way to reduce changeovers is to identify the same kind of products in the production task of the day, and then arrange the same products to the same machine or production line for production.
In the case of not delaying the delivery date, the centralized investigation can be carried out without the order of the delivery date, and if necessary, communicate with the superior to adjust the centralized production schedule of the delivery date.
So you should know why the production efficiency of the team is so low, maybe a lot of time is spent on product changeover.
The sixth principle: abide by the principle of fairness and justice
Fairness and justice means that the workload of all employees and machines in the team should be balanced, and the same workload should be ensured as much as possible.
The specific method is to classify the product by difficulty level first, such as a b c under the premise of ensuring quality, balance the difficulty level products and the production tasks of each machine and personnel for each machine and personnel, and regularly change jobs for production if necessary.
