Production Planning

Job Shop

Low-volume, high-variety production environment where jobs follow different routings through functional resources.

Examples

  1. 01In the job shop, each tool order follows its own route through milling, EDM, grinding and polishing.
  2. 02The planner reviews queues at each machine group in the job shop, because waiting time is far longer than processing time.
  3. 03The daily meeting in the job shop focuses on the orders that have waited longest at any one machine.
