Job Shop
Production Planning
Job Shop
Low-volume, high-variety production environment where jobs follow different routings through functional resources.
Examples
- 01In the job shop, each tool order follows its own route through milling, EDM, grinding and polishing.
- 02The planner reviews queues at each machine group in the job shop, because waiting time is far longer than processing time.
- 03The daily meeting in the job shop focuses on the orders that have waited longest at any one machine.
