交通堵塞教给我们的关于物料搬运系统的3个教训

你厌倦了交通吗? 你想要解决所有交通问题的答案吗? 除非你所在城市的每个人都读这个博客，否则你来错地方了. 幸运的是, there is something you have more control over – the effectiveness of your 材料处理 system.

This blog examines three lessons that traffic jams teach us about designing an efficient system. Though the first two lessons are minor changes that can be made before or after the third lesson, 您实现的顺序会极大地影响您的生产力. 看完这三个教训，你的执行顺序是什么?

1.  创造空间

一旦事故从高速公路上清除，每个司机都能立即行动吗? 不幸的是,没有. 你必须等到你前面的人和你后面的司机都动了才行. 每个延迟都会使流量向上游漂移. 输送带上的产品也是如此.

Suppose one of your operators notices a fallen package causing congestion on your conveyor. 接线员调整套餐后30分钟, 您注意到整个系统已完全备份. 这是为什么??

在很多情况下, manufacturers maximize the area on their conveyor to increase the speed to market but leave little room for error. Creating the appropriate amount of space between packages and proper back-up and re-start logic allows room for minor delays and merging products.

2. 保持交通速度

Have you noticed that it takes longer and is more dangerous to constantly stop and go than it does to maintain a constant speed? Many drivers ignore this and speed directly behind the car in front of them just to come to a halt repetitively. 让我们将这个概念与物料搬运系统进行比较. 对于制造商来说，主要目标是比竞争对手更快地将产品推向市场. 为了达到这一点，一些制造商采取以最高速度运行他们的系统. 这是迟早要发生的意外. Maintaining a constant 系统速度 – partnered with creating appropriate space – can increase efficiency and speed to market by avoiding constant stoppage. Take a look at the simulation video below demonstrating how creating space and maintaining speed help create a smooth and efficient 材料处理 system.

3. 识别瓶颈

在出发前往目的地之前，你会检查沿途的交通延误情况吗? 如果是这样，您就可以识别瓶颈并做出合理的决策. 你可以对你的物料处理系统做同样的事情.

通过认识到你的瓶颈, 你可以调整你的速度, 建立积累并确定预测问题的解决方案. 许多制造商在设计和施工后很好地发现了瓶颈, 但有一种方法可以做到积极主动.

正如本博客开头所讨论的那样, the sequence in which you implement these lessons can greatly impact your system efficiency.

物料搬运专家建议

首先确定瓶颈. 一旦你这样做了, you can create buffering around the 瓶颈 as well as design the system to absorb normal jams and stops to maintain consistent flow.

仿真建模，就像上面的视频一样，也是强烈建议的. 通过虚拟分析你的系统, you can determine 瓶颈s and make design accommodations to optimize your entire system before construction to reduce risk, 成本和时间.
