Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004503837
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A factory traffic monitoring and analysis apparatus and method that may be used as both a real-time monitor of factory traffic intensity and variability, and as a predictor of factory congestion and lead time. The system constructed in accordance with the invention provides both descriptive and prescriptive information to enable improved factory performance. The system helps to identify actual and potential capacity constrained stations or with high traffic variability. Increasing capacity or reducing variability on stations within the factory identified by the system will allow increased product output and shorter manufacturing lead time.
