In the presented case study, the implementation of a load production schedule for fed assemblies has been related to the available plant capacity in order to be evaluated through analysis and synthesis stages. Initially, preliminary data breakdowns, structural and quantitative interrelations between the product and its components have been performed. Product visualisation by presenting it in exploded view has been worked out. Sequentially, estimation and analysis of delivery times, manufacturing and assembly of raw materials, component parts and products along with the required quantities have been estimated. Determination of the Critical Path Component through initial limitation synthesis followed, with the Critical Path Analysis. A preliminary schedule draw up has been moreover achieved for a simplified set of conditions with the Forward Loading technique. Secondary loading on the available, free facilities with the Backward Loading technique has been carried out for the production of the remainder component parts. Based on the out coming schedule and inventory data, high-risk area determination and suggestions on suitable measures from the production manager's viewpoint were developed, together with redesign and optimization of the final area version.
