Abstract

Abstract: In all these days, most of the manufacturing industries are in the urge to produce the components on-time with the appreciable quality due to the increased competitiveness in the global market. Most of the industries follow any one of the three types of the manufacturing process such the way to produce the core product. The traditional way of manufacturing the product in the manufacturing system with the lead time can be optimized by the implication of some constraints in the system. The implication of these constraints in the system converts the traditional way of manufacturing into a flexible manufacturing system. The requirement of flexibility in the manufacturing system and in the demand to manufacture the product on time with the appreciable quality of the product in the global competitiveness, industry moves into set production of the products. Set production of the product in the manufacturing process reduces the lead time in the process flow period. The efficiency of machine utilization in the Takt period of the product requires the manufacturing process to reduce the lead time. The objective of this study is to track down the time for the lot quantity of the product to standard time in order to reduce the bottlenecks in the inventory. It also focuses on the techniques of decision making, dedication to the resources such as the product to be manufactured and also the tools required for manufacturing the product. Trailed by the various techniques used for clustering and grouping to convert the manufacturing system into flexible one this study has been made.
