Production planning is key when it comes to dealing with dead waste and anomalies. An accurate and flexible production plan can effectively reduce excess material and scrap, reduce unexpected production costs, and better meet market demand. Scrap and exception resolution strategies in production planningThere are five main points:
AccurateWe need to be accurate in market demand. Accurate ** avoids over-production, which reduces scrap and excess material.
For example, apply machine learning and other advanced technologies to conduct in-depth analysis of past sales data to improve the accuracy of past sales.
Flexible production schedulesThere needs to be some flexibility in production planning. Sometimes market demand changes quickly, and we need to be able to adjust our production plans quickly to accommodate changes.
For example, by introducing scalable equipment and technology, we can change the size of the production line in a short period of time and quickly adapt to market changes.
Chain synchronizationWe need to work more closely with the chain. By sharing our needs and production plans, we can provide us with the raw materials we need in a timely manner.
For example, we can adopt a shared IT system that allows the company to understand our needs in real time.
Efficiency improvementIncreased equipment efficiency also reduces scrap and excess material. The increase in equipment efficiency not only increases production speed, but also reduces breakdowns and scrap rates.
For example, we can introduce advanced maintenance strategies, such as state-of-the-art maintenance, to proactively identify and resolve equipment issues.
Waste managementWe also need to dispose of the waste and excess that has been generated efficiently.
For example, some waste materials can be reused, and some waste materials can be disposed of by eliminating old equipment.
The above 5 improvement strategies should be implemented through the joint efforts of the team. There needs to be close collaboration and open communication between team members. We also need to review the production plan regularly to confirm its benefits and possibilities for improvement. In the same way, we also need to keep learning and constantly improving our production plans to better adapt to the needs of the market.
