Abstract

Efficient material supply is a key requirement for production and assembly processes, but the related planning process is complex due to different factors influencing internal material provision. Different strategies and techniques for storage, order picking and transportation of components as well as for material flow control exist. In this paper, a holistic approach for planning, analyzing and evaluating internal material provision is introduced, influencing factors are revealed and a brief planning guideline is presented. An evaluation approach is pointed out based on qualitative, quantitative and monetary aspects. Finally, the planning approach is applied in a specific use case analyzing different planning variants such as line stocking, kitting and a hybrid solution for material provision at assembly stations in medical technology industry.
