| Abstract: | New manufacturing theories and techniques such as just-in-time and total quality management advocate the use of small lots in production and subsequently reduction of setup times. The implementation of the small lot concept often encounters opposition from production people who feel that increasing the number of lots implies a need for more information. By means of a normative model, this paper proves that the move toward smaller lots implies less information needs. The model also shows the relationship between improvement activities, such as setup and time per part reduction, and the information needs. |
