Pull system implementation in a welding area

Abstract

Our project took place in a welding area which supplies two production lines of a large company in Puerto Rico. The company is divided in four areas: fabrication, welding, assembly and molding. Management wants to implement the pull system and decided to begin with the welding area. Afterwards they will implement the system in the other areas of the company. that are "person moveable"; the ideal container quantity should be no more than 10% of a day's usage of the part.1 Our project consists in establishing the pull system in the welding area for production lines TQD and TQDL. We will determine the approximate cost for the implementation of the pull system and using different techniques or concepts of industrial engineering we will fulfill all the objectives of the project.
