(orcid)0000-0001-8460-3076 An in-plant milk-run design method for improving surface occupation and optimizing mizusumashi work time 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Product customization is becoming a competitiveness factor in most markets. It implies manufacturing small and varied batches in mixed-product assembly lines and frequently supplying parts to production lines in small quantities with high efficiency. The in-plant milk-run is a specific tool used in this context. This paper proposes an industry-validated design method for human-driven milk-runs, based on improving surface productivity. A mathematical model is defined for relating mizusumashi work time to the milk-run period and finding its minimum value. This research is particularly useful in factories with high cost per m2 supplying high-volume parts. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 3.916 2020 ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING 19 / 50 = 0.38 2020 Q2 T2 ENGINEERING, INDUSTRIAL 20 / 49 = 0.408 2020 Q2 T2 2.37 2020 Mechanical Engineering 2020 Q1 Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Yagüe-Fabra, J.A.
