“…A different layout process and distinctive machinery influence production and technology capabilities. 12 The wood recovery assessment protocol for the cellular furniture production system needs to be validated to fine-tune detailed stages within the protocol. Moreover, a technical validation of the methodology is required on its use in other furniture companies that have different machinery, species, other customer requirements affecting product specification, and the cutting bill.…”

Enhanced wood recovery mirrors a successful wood manufacturing operation. Studies of wood recovery in secondary wood processing, however, are scarce, particularly in furniture manufacturing. Although recovery rates are under the continuous surveillance of sophisticated technology, this attempt to monitor wood recovery would be especially challenging for small-to medium-sized furniture enterprises, as the capital investment in such technology would be substantial. This would hinder the possibility for improvements in production efficiency of the furniture industry. A methodology of wood recovery assessment in the furniture industry has been developed and proposed but has not been validated with a cellular production system, a different layout process and distinctive machinery, species, and other customer requirements. The objective of this study is to assess the wood recovery protocol individually used in batch and cellular production systems, followed by examining the wood recovery of furniture manufacturing in these distinct production systems. Two Indonesian medium-sized furniture companies that individually operate batch and cellular production systems were employed, and two methods, mass and volume, were used to assess wood recovery at each furniture-making station. There was a significant difference in cumulative wood recovery rates between batch and cellular production systems. Based on species and product dimensions, the average individual and cumulative wood recovery rates of furniture manufacturing resulted in a significant difference at the resawing and edging station. Large-dimension product recorded higher wood recovery level than small-dimension product. The wood recovery rates at the resawing and edging, surface planing, thickness planing, and trimming stations were mostly influenced by species, the quality of sawn timber, and cutting bills. Meanwhile, wood recovery Manuscript

“…Как показано в [11,12] в условиях многономенклатурного ремонтного производства целесообразно применять метод группового ремонта деталей, позволяющий свести к минимуму индивидуальные технологические разработки. Этот же принцип заложен в основу технологии переналаживаемого ремонтного производства.…”

This paper reports the results of investigations on manufacturing cycle times for special-purpose products. The company performs serial production characterized by complex and diverse technologies, alternative solutions and combined modes of workpiece movement in the manufacturing process. Because of various approaches to this problem, an analysis of previous investigations has been carried out, and a theoretical base is provided for the technological cycle and factors affecting the manufacturing cycle time. The technological and production documentation of the company has been analysed to establish the technological and real manufacturing cycle times, total losses and flow coefficients. This paper describes the original approach to production cycle scheduling on the grounds of investigations of manufacturing capacity utilization levels and causes of loss, in order to measure their effects and to reduce the flow coefficient to an optimum level. The results are a segment of complex studies on the production cycle management of complex products, accomplished in the company in the period from 2010 to 2012.
