Abstract

Nowadays, given that production technologies have reached saturation point in several fields, executives are turning to the field of logistics to reduce costs. In stock control (for example, just-in-time supply systems), Kanban is being used fairly extensively these days. Lean manufacturing - a complete system which is perhaps better understood – is seeing continual development and is increasingly being used as a line application in the automative sector thanks to a rise in the use of computer technology alongside the development of improved communication systems. This rapid development in information technology, a sharp rise in competition in the dynamic structure of today’s automotive sector, product variety, and the rising demands of customers have resulted in the importance of logistics software. A well organized system of production logistics optimizes material management, decreases inventory costs and increases productivity. In this study, an introduction has been made to the ‘wireless emergency parts request system’ - developed to meet the demands for emergency parts in assembly stations. Furthermore, we look at the benefits of the system in the context of an automative factory, absorbing the just-in-time product philosophy.
