Effektivisering av produktionsplanering : Fallstudie vid SMT-Borrstål
Sammanfattning: Production planning is an important part for basic management in manufacturing industries and an effective tool to optimize production and to maintain profit despite increased competition. Costs for raw materials, energy consumption and maintenance of the production line often amounts to large sums. Production planning is a good tool to minimize these costs, but also to achieve the objectives of the production process.There is little conducted and published studies on the use of planning techniques in manufacturing industries. Therefore, the authors chose to focus on this part for the paper. The purpose of the study is to compare the methods of production with regard to different production situations and to develop an analytical model for the choice of production. Subsequently, the aim has been broken down into three theoretical research issues and one practical issue. The practical question is whether it is possible to develop a practical model of the production flow of Sandvik (SMT) Drill steel production to streamline production flow?To answer the purpose of the study and research questions, a literature review is conducted as well as observation and interviews at Sandvik SMT Drill steel. Based on the literature review, a number of methods have been developed which are considered to be good for production, as well as a number of important factors, and finally, a model has been created to SMTS production section “Appretering”.The conclusion of the study is that the choice of planning method is dependent on the production environment as lead time, demand, product mix and lot size. It is also advisable to follow a certain structure in the choice of planning method.
