dc.description.abstractThis project evaluates the material replenishment for manufacturing lines in Sunshine Meds Company who prepares medical devices kits in a manufacturing cleaning room. Opportunities were found looking into the material handles replenishment process like a waste of time and waiting time in stations while raw materials are supplied. In this industry, the product is a medical device containing raw material with a shelf life and expiration date. The problem statement is the following: due to a lack of organization, there is a high time consumption to complete a replenishment cycle, excess inventory on the manufacturing floor, and no signals to replenish material, causing a lack of material handler flexibility to serve different manufacturing lines. Designing a Kanban system as a part of the replenishment process using two types of signals, a bin system and an inventory level system could solve the higher volume of raw material in the clean room.
