Interactive demonstrators from our Mixed Model workshops. Change the inputs, run the line, and watch what happens to flow, inventory and lead time. Free to use, nothing to install.
In-Process Kanban Flow
Two workstations, two workers. Watch how the rule between the stations changes throughput, WIP, blocking and starving, from no IPK to a kanban supermarket.
Containerization Tool
Size bins so only full containers move to the line. Compare approved container sizes against your target inventory and hand-carry weight limit.
Time Plus Inventory
Balancing Tool 5. A constraint station runs longer than takt: set the cycle times and shift, size the FIFO lanes, and watch added time drain them.
Sequencing & IPK Lab
Balancing Tool 6. Five products with different work content share one line. Pick a sequencing strategy and the number of IPKs, then run the shift.
Three Machine Types on the Line
The same stream of units feeds three machines at the same takt and batch size. Only loading and unloading differ: see where inventory piles up.
Simulation Model: Mixed Model Line
A discrete-event simulation of a leveled A-B-C line with feeder lines and IPK buffers, showing where blocking and waiting come from.
