Run at Rate

Production trial demonstrating that the manufacturing process can achieve required volume and quality at intended operating conditions.

Examples

01Before SOP, the supplier performs a run at rate for 8 hours at planned cycle time with production operators, producing 1,920 parts.
02The customer's engineer attends the run at rate and records output, scrap and downtime against the agreed capacity.
03When the run at rate reaches only 85 % of the planned output, the launch is delayed until the bottleneck station is improved.
