Strategies for increasing productivity in production systems

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to point a set of practical strategies that can be adopted to increase the capacity of constraints resources on production systems, when the constraint is inside the factory and not is in the market. To serve this purpose will be presented strategies based on best practices of the Theory of Constraints, Lean Manufacturing and Total Productive Maintenance. This article also presents the mains tools for the deployment of these methodologies.The survey results have provided an objective set of practical strategy that can be used to increase the capacity and productivity of production systems according to the needs of each manufacturing system.

Modern Aspects of Industrial Enterprises’ Production Efficiency Management

“…Most foreign scientific publications concern the problem of interpreting the essence of productivity and substantiating its measurement indicators [8,9,10,11]. All scientists value productivity as a fundamental factor in improving living standards.…”

“…It is offered to investigate the productivity of foreign scientists at the firm level (micro level), where the generation and application of technological and organizational knowledge (innovations) are the main factors of productivity growth, and at the national level (macro level). In their belief, the increase in productivity at the firm level is directly transformed into national economic growth [11].…”

“…Greater openness to multinational production leads to more stringent competition, which can lead to a redistribution of resources in every domestic firm, from domestic to foreign multinational firms and from less productive to more productive firms. Equally important for the study of foreign scientists, the influence of wages, in particular the introduction of the national minimum wage, on the productivity of the firm is chosen by the firm [8,11]. As the minimum wage, they say, increases the cost of labor, companies can switch to more capital intensive forms of production, introduce organizational changes, or offer training to improve productivity.…”

Aplicação da curva de Pareto associada ao sistema Kanban para o gerenciamento de estoque numa indústria pública

“…Entre estes novos métodos destaca-se o CEP, onde o controle é feito através do monitoramento constante das falhas de produção, buscando a identificação e eliminação das mesmas como forma de atingir os níveis de qualidade exigidos. A proposição de métodos integrados para melhorar a produtividade na manufatura podem ser vistos em Pacheco et al (2014).…”

Εφαρμογή της θεωρίας των περιορισμών στον προγραμματισμό & έλεγχο παραγωγής βιομηχανιών που αποθεματοποιούν

“…Οι Pacheco & Pergher [2014] αναγνωρίζοντας την αξία αύξησης της δυναμικότητας στον περιορισμό και στα κρίσιμα σημεία (δηλαδή τους πόρους που δεν είναι ενεργοί περιορισμοί, αλλά αν δε διαχειριστεί σωστά η δυναμικότητά τους, τότε ενδέχεται να περιορίσουν την πρόσοδο του συστήματος), αναφέρουν 25 στρατηγικές που βασίζονται σε λύσεις που προσφέρουν οι φιλοσοφίες TOC, LEAN και TPM για αύξηση της δυναμικότητας του περιορισμού όταν αυτός είναι εσωτερικός (εντός του συστήματος). Από τις 25 δυνατότητες η διοίκηση καλείται να επιλέξει εκείνες που θα αποφέρουν τη μεγαλύτερη αύξηση στην απόδοση, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τον παράγοντα χρόνο και την απαιτούμενη επένδυση.…”
