Learning Outcomes
Understand the principles of high-performance production systems focused on lead time reduction and inventory optimization.

Develop the ability to design efficient production flows integrating lean tools and flow management techniques.

Analyze and manage production constraints to balance workflow, minimize waiting time, and improve responsiveness.

Apply performance metrics (lead time, work-in-process, throughput) in a simulated production environment.
Content
Concepts of production flow performance and value stream efficiency.

Relationship between lead time, inventory, and customer demand.

Techniques for optimizing production flow:

Pull systems (Kanban, Just-In-Time).

Flow leveling (Heijunka) and workload balancing.

Bottleneck analysis and cycle time reduction.

Tools for monitoring and improving flow performance (VSM, visual management boards, flow metrics).

Simulation exercise: Manufacturing product to evaluate flow design, lead time, and inventory control.
Corequis
