Scenario
The KOREAN factory of Hi-Tech Metal, Inc. primarily manufactures plumbing system parts for gas pipes, drainage pipes, water supply pipes and hoses etc. A mainframe computer was used for scheduling, but it took a lot of time and unnecessarily put heavy workload on scheduling managers and on-site workers. Following are the associated problems to meet customers’ needs
Lengthy 3 to 4 days schedule drafting time, caused by mainframe computer’s long processing time.
Inflexibility of mainframe computer to sudden order changes, leading to tedious manual calculation and direct on-site adjustment
Extra workload for on-site workers
One-month base scheduling that cannot meet customers’ need,
Task 4
Considering above scenario justify improvements and alternatives to design and manufacturing of plumbing system.
[Improvements, alternative systems, explain the IoT systems and Industry4.0 impacts]
