Symptoms where you may have a WIP problem
2
1.Without walking the shop floor, no one or few people know where
the orders are in the plant.
2.My WIP is high because no one or few people know when orders will
be processed by work centers.
3.Operators work on the easiest orders first, I have no way to re-
prioritize orders in real-time. (FIFO method, by customer)
4.Indirect labor is high due to lack of coordination of material
management.
5.My plant floor is crammed with materials for future orders or I have
significant “Starve” downtime where required materials aren’t
present for orders.
6.It is hard to visualize capacity versus actual queues.
