respectively 84% and 95% less than conventional drying in Plant C. For Plant D, the obtained WIP and cycle time for case A were 43% and 51% lower than conventional drying. For Plant D, the obtained WIP and cycle time for case B were 92% and 90% lower than conventional drying. Table 40 Parameters obtained from the Simulation for Case A and B for both Case Studies Variables VSM C VSM D Simulation Models Plant C Plant D Case A Case B Case A Case B Throughput (MBF) WIP (MBF) CT (days) 1057 3250 1057 3811 4610 1957.27 233 92 30 1074.03 595.57 10.67 3240.07 2602.98 327 3240.08 45.11 8.33 Industry costs are not only the capital cost of equipment, material handling, and storage required to manufacture products with large lead times, but also the opportunity cost associated with CT related to lost sales and higher finished goods inventory. For example, orders placed for products with lower CT have a greater probability of being filled before the orders expire or change. Also, associating a dollar value to cycle time often highlights the true impact of manufacturing time on total cost to the company (Rust 2008). The reduction of WIP represented a drying cost saving of 73% and 76% for Plant C and D, respectively. The cost savings in WIP makes vacuum with no air drying scenario more feasible than conventional drying. The results of costs reduction, faster drying rates, and similar quality to conventional drying leads vacuum drying like a potential technology to make flooring manufactures more competitive in the market. 122PDF Image | Impact of Vacuum-Drying on Efficiency of Hardwood Products
