The Research Of Improvement In Earthmoving Production System By Postponement

Nowadays, Earthmoving Machinery has encountered the trouble caused by global shrinking market; all manufactories got into a new crisis, the final production inventory have been a heavy burden to these facilities. On the one hand, Earthmoving machine needs long production cycle, lots kinds of material, these lead to a low inventory turnover rate. But on another hand, few types of inventory machine can meet customer’s idiographic demand, it keeps user waiting for the long delivery time. Both consumer and producer have gripe respectively. Especially, delivery time of good quality brand always have an inflexible performance. Hence, it is essential to enhance the adaptability of Earthmoving Production System.Postponement technique is to finish and turn in customer’s special requirement at the end of delivery period, and mass produce common component of Production Family; also, this technique separate user’s "individual demand" to Kit, and prepare proper inventory Kit for customer’s final choice. After purchaser’s decision, the producer achieves the last assembly and fast delivery. By this way, factory can provide the specific requirement with high velocity for market, and reduce its inventory largely, the practical significance is obviously.This paper analyzed feasibility of Postponement applying to Earthmoving Production System. Base on the real enterprises, this article explained in detail how to improve related system at some main aspects, such as demand analysis, product planning, planning and process improvement. The author explained and demonstrated Postponement’s actual effect combined with a real case.This thesis expects the contribution to related enterprise through its explanation of improvement in Earthmoving Production System by Postponement.
