National Semiconductor Company: Module Manufacturing Unit
Abstract
National Semiconductor Co. is unable to meet the growing demand of the customers in spite of having adequate, production capacity. The manufacturing manager is trying to develop a planning system that will schedule production effectively. The pressure of both batch and discrete processors on the manufacturing line further complicates the problem. This case can be used to illustrate how shop floor synchronization can lead to reduction in lead times and thereby utilize production capacity efficiently.
