Pull Production System

Temporary fabrication plants such as rebar assembly and precast segment shops are increasingly used in large scale construction projects to provide a construction site of its material needs. A plant needs to be operated in such a way that it is flexible enough to adapt to changing project demands while minimizing inventories. Meeting such needs requires careful control of the level of raw materials and assembly products fabricated in the plant, the two main types of inventories. However, in practice the ordering of raw materials and assembly times are ad hoc, leading to excess inventories and added costs to the project. This paper presents a methodology for effective, efficient, and economic control of inventory levels in temporary rebar assembly plants. Ordering processes are formalized to convert existing approaches into a pull production system. Given this transformation, a methodology is presented that employs Monte Carlo simulation and optimization techniques to identify inventory levels that minimize inventory costs while simulating variability in demand, procurement lead times, and production capacity. A retrospective case on a rebar assembly plant shows that the same amount of work can be performed with significantly less inventory levels when applying the proposed production methodology. It also provides evidence that the cost savings from inventory costs outweigh any additional holding or delivery costs associated with a pull production system.

Pull Production System

This chapter aims to organize knowledge about pull production systems by presenting the underlying concepts of lean manufacturing as for its origin, principles, and relations with PPC. Pull production is one the fundamental principles of lean manufacturing, and its implementation can bring positive impacts. For such a purpose, sequential and mixed supermarket pull systems stand out in which the integration between pull production systems and PPC and its various levels is a main subject of discussion. The JIT model or Kanban method and hybrid systems, such as conwip and lung-drum-string theory, are mechanisms for managing pull production systems. Finally, a pull production system implementation is presented for illustration purposes. At the end of this chapter, it is expected that skills are developed by readers, which are going to assist them in using the tools presented to model production systems and aid decision-making processes.

Pull Production System

Shipbuilding is a convoluted process. The production system of a shipyard can be illustrated by using the concept of a pull production system. Lean is based on the principle of a pull production system. The shipbuilding process is improved significantly but the lean production system is introduced at very small scales. In a shipyard, different types of wastages such as scraps, overproductions, idle times, etc. are produced, lean is a just-in-time production system that can focus on the elimination of these wastages to ensure lower costs and lower production times and higher quality products as well as better service and delivery. Simulation modeling is used to evaluate the performance of the production system and kanban is a pull-type scheduling method that can be used to simulate the pull production system of a shipyard for the optimization analysis. The goals of this article are to identify the important wastages in a shipyard that can increase production time and cost, to design the production system of a shipyard based on lean philosophy, to derive the basic principles of the lean manufacturing as well as to develop the control mechanism of this production system, the simulation analysis of the production system done by using the lean principle, and to identify the limitations for applying the lean production system in a shipyard production.
