Ramp-Down
Controlled reduction of production volume before product phase-out, transfer or shutdown.
Examples
- 01During ramp-down of the old dishwasher model, weekly output falls from 400 to 100 units over two months.
- 02The ramp-down plan is reviewed with purchasing every week so that variant-specific parts run out at the same time as demand.
- 03As the ramp-down progresses, operators move to the new model line in groups, with training scheduled in advance.
