Then, the obtained results from the simulation were compared qualitatively to Little’s Law values to determine the performance of the production line. Little’s law values were calculated for each plant before the simulation model was performed as mentioned in section 3.3.3. The measuring of current values against those predicted by Little’s Law, provides a measure of the stability in the current system, quantifying the maximum achievable operational improvements. Also, it is often used to build intuition about expected factory performance when implementing a change given by the current factory state (Rust 2008). 3.4.2 FUTURE STATE MAP The objective of the future state value stream is to smoothen and level production flow while implementing the shortest lead time, highest quality, at the lowest cost (Rother and Shook, 1999). The future state map was created with the obtained results from the simulation mentioned in section 3.3.4. Visio software was used to create the future state map with the improvements of vacuum drying in the line production. The values obtained for each company from the two scenarios (vacuum with air drying and vacuum with no air drying) were qualitatively compared, and the one that presented less WIP, cycle time and met the desired throughput was chosen to create the future state map. The future state map reflected the reduction of CT and WIP. Reduction in WIP represented a reduction in costs for Plant C and D. The creation of the future state maps helped to determine how vacuum drying technology can impact the throughput, cycle time and WIP of 3.25” wide red oak flooring production lines. 60PDF Image | Impact of Vacuum-Drying on Efficiency of Hardwood Products
