Production Control Operating Procedures • Prepare a batch of 4 units. • Cut each sheet (one at a time) into two: roof and base. • Write the batch number on the roof and the base. All items in the same batch have the same number. The numbers have to match in assembly. • Repeat • 4 times, which yields one batch • When 4 units (one batch) are complete, “release” the batch. • Put the batch in your out-basket: it’s ready for pickup by the trucker. • Record release time for each batch. • Release one batch each minute.
Truckers Operating Procedures • Truckers are responsible for transporting work in process inventory between production steps. • You can carry only one batch of 4 roofs or 4 bases at a time. Not both!
