COMISSIONING PROCESS DESIGN OF PICK-TO-SEQUENCE MILK RUN IN THE CASE OF JUST-IN-SEQUENCE PRODUCTION

The improvement of supply chain systems leaded to the application of different inventory strategies. One of the most flexible inventory strategy is the just in time based just-in-sequence inventory strategy, especially in the case of flexible assembly lines. Flexible assembly lines are used in computer integrated manufacturing and assembly systems, where the up-to-date IT solutions supports the complex optimisation of just-in-sequence processes, where components arrive at the assembly line right in time as scheduled before they get assembled. The study deals with the optimisation of commissioning process in the on-site buffer in the case of just in sequence supply of assembly lines with milk runs. The author describes one possible model of this inventory strategy and shows the genetic algorithm based optimisation method of the commissioning sub process.
