Chapter 08 - Combining with Other Production Modes
Q: It seems that production scheduling has little necessity in a factory that uses cell production and U-turn lines, but can you use the Advanced Planning and Scheduling System in a factory like that?
A: In cell production, one or more people conduct several processes and there is no need to set up a production schedule for these processes. However, an Advanced Planning and Scheduling System can be used for the following items.
● Checking the procurement of materials and the load on cells
