Problem Definition Recently, the company has installed a refrigerated warehouse in Monterrey, Mexico in order to meet the demands made by international customers. Since most of the products need refrigeration in order to be viable for consumption and sale, the installation of this warehouse was essential. The purchase of only one Westfalia Automated Storage & Retrieval System did decrease the time needed for the retrieval of the products needed form the warehouse up to the assembly line. However due to the use of 2 warehouses the automatization system had to be functioning in only one warehouse and only one assembly line of the two available.
Both assembly lines available are automated, which increases the overall productivity of the company. However, one assembly line was fully working the time needed with signals being sent of the next product requested in the line, the automated retrieval system got the order and transported the product to where it was needed, while the second automated assembly line had to fully stopped while the transportation and search for the products was being made manually.
This made both automated assembly lines have different production outcomes. Decreasing possible productivity in the second assembly line, due to the time needed to complete a production cycle. In order, to increase the productivity to match the first assembly line the whole warehouse would have to be fully automated. There needs to be a new automatization process where both assembly lines would be able to work at full capacity if needed. This can be achieved by joining both warehouses and either modifying existing automated systems to be able to move through the new space or adding a new automated retrieval system for the second warehouse. The new layout will open the transportation tunnel and make it longer in order machinery to fit. And each system needs to be connected to the assembly line. for the
Capacity Design For the automated first assembly line the actual production capacity is 2400 pieces a day (10 hours), while the full capacity output is of 2800 pieces, the actual utilization rate would be the following: Utilization rate= 2400 pieces 2800 pieces* 100 = 85.71%
The current second assembly line is able to produce 2230 pieces a day in full capacity, however its actual output is 1760 pieces a day (10 hours). This can be seen in the next formula: Utilization rate= 1760 pieces 2230 pieces* 100 = 78.92%
Utilization rate= 4800 pieces 5600 pieces* 100 = 85.71% And the utilization rate can be increased to full capacity when needed, this will give us a total possible productivity for 5600 pieces.
Pros of New Layout -Better organization for entry and exit of products -Cleaner and clearer communication between departments -The employees of each department only take care of their area and are accompanied by their managers -Focus on their task and have no distractions with other departments -Technological resources are communicated to avoid losing information between departments
Cons of New Layout -A bad connection from one department to another that breaks communication -Employees do not get used to the new organization management -They pass by other fundamental departments -Errors in technology systems
