ABSTRACT

Once the Plan for Every Part (PFEP) is started, you can begin to use the new PFEP to help plan the internal logistics from your finish process to the finished goods supermarket loop. You will then plan your internal logistics process moving back upstream into the preceding loop from your raw materials supermarket to the line-side consuming process. You will plan each inventory loop until you have developed internal routes to support all the processes within your value stream. So, internal planning includes facility, cell, and supermarket layout, and internal route development. We also discuss the use of the PFEP to help us determine the best storage and delivery method based on usage and container quantity.
