suggest manufacturing scenario Discrete / Repetitve for Iron & Steel indus

[Former Member]

Which scenario u will suggest for Iron & Steel industry & why?

Product - Galvanised Plain/ Galvanised Corrugated Sheets

Process- Pickling-Cold Rolling -Galavanizing- Cutting /Corrugation

but the product is varying in THK & Width so how u can go for repetitive?it works on both scenario MTO & MTS

yes sheets r of diff sizes & widths as per orders but same operation is carried out but u have control some parameters

Kindly suggest manufacturing scenario Discrete / Repetitve ?

Hi Madan,

To your description, it is recommended for design in Discrete Manufacturing, b'cos it is mentioned that the product is variable in size.

U would be planning for MTS for the regular products which can be marketed as the std product, and MTO scenario for the customer specific products.

Here in discrete manf you could have control on the operations which you are going for the product, even have control on your costing also.

Hi

If u say that the sheets are of different sizes and shapes, will the different sizes have different workcenters or in one machine all the different sizes can be produced. if all the sizes and shapes come out of the same machine, i think discrete will be the best suited(as per my knowledge) or if only the last operation of cutting is different and other operations are same, then u can go for the combination of Repetitive and discrete.

why discrete?
