Tugger trains for lean production | State-of-the-art material supply | The aim of lean production is to synchronize supply processes within the production process. Lean production: For this purpose, tugger trains are being increasingly deployed in practice for in-house transport as they allow the frequent provision of small quantities of the materials required and promise increased cost-effectiveness in the sector of intra-logistical material supply. • Standardization • JUST-IN-TIME (the right quantity at the right time in the right place) • The 7 MUDAs – the elimination of waste Material handling...

Milk-run trains In a milk-run system, materials or goods are transported within a regular cycle whereby volume, time and distance have normally been fixed. This system increases the supply frequency of materials and leads to a more evenly distributed utilization of capacity within the given time slot. In production processes, existing buffer stock levels and nondocumented leftover stock are eliminated and the general level of inventory is clearly reduced. Furthermore, converting to a milk-run system can lead to considerable savings in labor costs and machine costs, savings potential which can...
