Production Planning
Production Leveling
Smoothing production volume and mix over time to reduce variability and stabilize resource demand.
Examples
- 01Through production leveling, the line builds a fixed mix of 4 models every hour instead of one model per day.
- 02Planning checks production leveling against component supply, because a level mix needs every part every day.
- 03Production leveling cuts finished-goods stock by 30 % and makes daily demand on suppliers more stable.
