Variable rate launching (VRL) is a manufacturing strategy that eliminates idle time and utility work in mixed-model assembly lines, even with unlimited customization flexibility. It is more economical than fixed rate launching (FRL) because it reduces concentrated peak workloads and longer assembly lines. VRL requires a healthy balance of process times and optimal scheduling to create feasible production schedules, while fixed takt relies on average takt, which does not allow workers enough time to complete tasks for more complex products.
The variable takt eliminates optimal series-sequencing and regular task rescheduling by giving all products the exact time they need for assembly. This book is a reference guide for experienced executives in manufacturing and academics teaching operational effectiveness for customer-centric production. It makes extensive references to AGCO Fendts modern tractor line in Marktoberdorf, Germany, and offers application case studies from companies in related industries such as automotive, electronics, and machine tools.
The book's key message is that variation should not be universally eliminated from manufacturing, as it can lead to increased efficiency and customer satisfaction. It represents a counterpoint to the philosophy advocated by the Toyota Production System.
