1 piece flow Routing/Epicor structure- E9

system · June 30, 2015, 4:07pm

Melissa, typically that would refer to having all the sub-assemblies built at the same time (or in succession of each other) instead of building lower level assemblies to inventory in anticipation of needing them for other job assemblies later. Typically this is handled by marking all your sub-assemblies as "pull as assembly" on your method. This way your operators report against a single job (although different sub-assemblies within the job) when reporting labor and/or issuing materials instead of having to report against multiple jobs.

This is one interpretation of single piece flow but from an Epicor perspective that would be how you may want to structure your method to meet your objective

We are looking at changing our manufacturing process from 'batching' to '1 piece flow'. We have selected one product to perform this change. We have never done this type of process before. I was wandering if there is a good way to structure the routing, or any other settings within Epicor, to help accommodate a '1 piece flow'?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Melissa
