Advantages And Disadvantages Of Conveyers

2 Reduced waste: With improved systems there would be reduction in waste and fewer defects in the products. This will help in adding to the profits. Logistical improvements will help in better organisation of physical space required and viable transportation and reduction in the waiting times for the materials required, thus giving lesser room for wasting time.

Project Description: The new computer-controlled conveyor belt is an exciting project that moves and positions items on the conveyor belt within <1 millimeter. The proposed project will pro­duce a new system for future installations, and for replacement of those in the field, at a low cost. The computer-controlled conveyor belt has the potential to be a critical unit in 30 percent of the systems installed in factories. The new system is also easier to update with future technologies. The Project Priority Matrix for the Conveyor Belt Project (CBP) is:

The baggage handling system has poor scheduling, new and untested technology, complexity of the system and changing requirements, highly visible mechanical problems, does not deliver productivity and efficiency, lower

One of the biggest needs for improvement was the assembly process. Although several changes were made throughout the years, quality and efficiency still fell below expectations. Hinrichs implemented the newly developed assembly which consists of two separate work stations that allowed operators in the adjacent stations to share the expensive balancer machine. These assembly cells were much more efficient as workers were no longer forced to wait for another person or machine in the process. Each cell was built like the other with quick turn set-up which created flexibility in the process while also reducing tooling inventory by almost a half. Now cells

* Least expensive of the three strategies due to the lack of excess inventory and employee overtime

The amount of work in progress is minimized. Fewer tools are needed. The parts do not have to travel between the work stations. The control systems becomes redundant, everything takes place in the garage.

This technique means that there is no wastage of stock, and reduces time wastage too as the manager doesn't need to assess the remaining stock throughout the day. Also, as robots are becoming cheaper and slowly more advanced, it has seen the sales of them go up by 28% in 2013 in the food sector, once again showing how technology plays a large part in UK manufacturing.

Proximity to raw materials gives benefits on distribution channel which is already organized by formers. This also gives an added advantage in reducing transportation costs

To minimize total waiting time and stockpile re-handling costs (Keep operations costs as low as possible).

The manufacturing cost can be lower as the rearrangement of the production line to meet urgent order can be minimize or even eliminated.

The move to the state-of-the-art facility will result in the organization being more efficient and will as well result in quicker pull of inventory and quicker shipment. Furthermore, stock will be handled more efficiently with less errors resulting in higher profits for the organization.

Its advantages are: it can often be carried out without dismantling the equipment, it is more effective since all parts will be reached, the damage caused by chemical cleaning is minimal and generally less than that due to conventional mechanical cleaning, the damage induced could enhance corrosion or fouling during subsequent operations, it reduces the time required and it often generates much less materials. Meanwhile, the disadvantages are: it chemically inerts materials causing coke deposits unable to be removed, fully plugged equipment will require mechanical cleaning since

advantage of this is there will be no need to store large quantities which will give you the benefit of needing inventory space and will keep inventory costs low

Initially, there is the mode of land transportation. Roads, rails and pipelines fall under this category. These land logistics are very important because they extend the delivery services for air and water transport from airports and seaports. The main transport mode of land logistics are railway, road freight and pipeline transport. The advantage of railway transport is that it has carrying capacity and lower influences by weather conditions
