Assembly line process chart (45-second takt, 480 units a day)
An assembly line with what happens at each station, and the route a part takes back when inspection rejects it
This drawing comes from one YAML file. No shape was moved by hand.
Notes in the source (in Japanese)
工程図の主役は、箱ではなく「タクト」。日産 480 個を 6 時間(21,600 秒)で作るなら、45 秒に 1 個出さなければならない。1 工程でもここを超えると、そこから先は待つ。
不良をラインの中で直す場所が無いと、1 個の手直しでラインが止まる。手直し台は逃がし先であって、良し悪しの話ではない。
「不良 2.1%」はその工程を通った数に対する率。全体に対する率と混ぜると、どこを直せばいいのかが読めなくなる。
