Why Production Wheels
– Terminology: “Production Wheel”, “Product Wheel” or ”Rhythm Wheel”– Comprehensive and easy-to-follow framework for production planning & scheduling– Addresses three major challenges of operations managers:
1. Follow demand vs level production2. How long to make a production cycle3. Production scheduling

Takt – follow the demand
Demand Production
✓Minimal overproduction/excess in inventory
✗Resources need to match peak demand → resources wasted during “valleys”
✗Lot of effort on repetitive basis:
forecasts important
flexible production capabilities
continuous planning process

Demand Production
✓Manufacturing at uniform rate is most efficient→maximize utilization
✓Easy to plan
✗Probably need extra inventory to cover uncertainty

Challenge #2 – “Determining the Wheel Time”Scenario 2: Short Wheel Time
Challenge #3 – “Production Scheduling”Does the sequence of production impact results?
When changing from producing one product to another product,
–what time is spend on the change?
–what are the cleaning costs when changing?
–what are the material losses (yield) when changing?
–what are the product-specific setup costs (filters, gaskets, etc.)?

100– In the example on the right, 5 products with
different production volumes needs to be scheduled.
– If we have two wheels, what should the production sequence be, accounting for different changeover costs?

✓Example is in optimal sequence:
A → B →C → D → E →A
In other words, withminimal changeover costs
✗But big difference in needed capacity between wheels
90 units in week 1 (100% utilization)
30 unites in week 2 (33% utilization)

Challenge #3 – “Production Scheduling”Scenario 2: Optimal utilization
✓Example has optimal utilization:
60 units in week 1 (100% utilization)
60 unites in week 2 (100% utilization)
✗But changeovers are changed, and thus changeover costs are not minimal.
General steps of EyeOn’s Production Wheel implementation
1. Determine production strategy per product
2. Determine wheel time
3. Determine production cycle time per product
4. Determine schedule per cycle
5. Determine optimal production schedule

“What is the sequence to produce all products with minimized overall costs?”
OPTIMAL
SEQUENCE
MTS1
MTO + MTSt
Production Wheel’s flexibility

MTS2–MTSx PIT
fixed volume priority variable volume buffer
–MTS2—MTSx products are not produced at each cycle (i.e. inventory needs to cover a long period of demand) and therefore incorrect inventory might have major impact.
–MTO and MTSt products cannot be scheduled in advance and therefore there is (a variable) volume reserved for these products.
–MTS1 products are produced at each cycle and therefore can have a variable volume; lower production at one cycle can be compensated by a higher production at the next cycle. Also, there is high demand for these products, so overproduction does not significantly impact inventory holding costs.
– PIT = Process Improvement Time: used for maintenance, upgrades, employee training,5S activities, new product development/qualification runs, etc. Also acts as an extra buffer.

MTS2–MTSx PIT
fixed volume priority variable volume buffer
– The flexibility of different production strategies makes the balancing step less important,as the available production capacity is just filled with the products with variable volume!
– Can focus on optimal sequence!
How much to produce
Production Wheel takeaways
– Addresses most challenges in a comprehensive holistic fashion
– Production planning in cycles– Differentiated production strategies: both strict and flexible schedules – Balanced capacity utilization– Reduced changeover costs & inventory costs– Differentiated and improved service levels
– Intuitive planning tool
