Abstract

In order to meet requirements of a high-frequency supply with small batch sizes, milkrun systems and pull-control are the key concepts for Lean in-house transport. In brownfield plants narrow layouts, transportation between several buildings, large carrier units and multi-storey production sites limit the use of milkrun systems. Existing planning procedures mainly address structure and layout planning and the design of transport technology. Thus, the focus is on the selection of a wide range of manual, mechanical or automatic techniques and not on the definition of Lean processes for in-house transport. This paper addresses interdependencies, boundary conditions and restrictions within the design of in-house transport in brownfield environments. A first classification and dimensioning of transport forms is applied in a case study. Therefore, initial steps towards a structured planning method for Lean in-house logistics are given.
