Volvo Trucks is one of the world’s largest truck manufacturers, with a cab production plant located in Umeå, Sweden. The variation in batch sizes of the different components causes variation in the length of the production plan of subparts, and thus variation in production lead times. This project aims to examine how equally sized batches affect the length of the production plan, and what batch size is optimal to achieve efficient production planning. The examination was conducted with respect to lean principles and a mathematical model was built to simulate the use of different batch sizes. In order to run the simulation, both historical and new data was used. Parameters interesting to examine for the result are the length and variation of...
