Kukmorsky plant of Metalloposuda (Lean production)

One of such specifics is multinomenclature production: the enterprise releases more than 10 lines of ware consisting of more than 400 nomenclature positions. This factor along with different restrictions both on the production, and in its interaction with other divisions influences satisfaction of the consumer demand which is a key indicator of work^[1]

The concept of the 1st loop means determination of two sections of production process in which one is a customer of products (raw materials, materials completing, etc.), another is their supplier.

At the first stage of implementation of this system under the existing production process the following tasks were set:

• on what transactions will be test start is carried out?
• type of a transport container?
• replenishment unit?
• appearance of cards?

method and frequency of their delivery from the customer's section to section of the supplier, i.e. the principle of work? The existing schedule system directed to replenishment of supermarket of a finished goods warehouse (pulling of necessary products about productions which stock remainders fell below the calculated trigger level), need of pushing out of problems from places of value creation, implementation of a feedback loop for operational overcoming the current problems regarding the movement of intra shop material and information flows, all this was the reason of concentration of a project team on two key sections of workshop of processing of ware and their choice for carrying out the planned test start:
