Balance result view
Watch video: Analyze the balance result Balance result is a numeric presentation of the line/variant/variant mix balance. The result consists of four sections; Time, Utilization, Takt and Resources. Each section contains a number of columns, some are a...
Product variants
Watch video: Work with variants, manually without variant code A product line-up often contains different product variants, and this highly affects the balancing since different variants contain different amount of work (tasks) to be carried out durin...
The SAM module in AVIX
Users familiar with other time analysis modules (AviX Method etc) in AviX will see that the outline when using SAM is identical. When AviX is running you switch to Method perspective (module) by pressing The default appearance of AviX SAM looks like below....
Extended variant handling (variant codes)
Watch video: Create variant codes Instead of manually selecting/de-selecting task for different variants, it’s possible to use a more advanced product specification letting AVIX creating the specific variant. A variant code is a symbol or a designat...
The UAS module in AVIX
Users familiar with other time analysis modules (AviX Method, AviX SAM etc) in AviX will see that the outline when using UAS (Universal Analysis System) is identical. When AviX is running you switch to Method perspective (module) by pressing on the Method-ico...
Variant Matrix View
Watch video: Variant matrix, when using variant codes Watch video: Variant matrix, manually without codes (starts 30 sec in to the video) To make the variant configuration easier, use the variant matrix view, where all the variants can be seen ...
Using Assignees
Watch video: Assign resources Sometimes the same resource will be used at different workstations, e.g. an andon resource moving around, or a crane shared between workstations. By using the Assignees feature in AVIX , it is possible to “assign” resour...
Mix of variants
Watch video: Create variant mix A mix of variants is calculating the average balance of two or more variants. The quantity of each variant (weight) in the mix is set in the variant specification. A variant mix is created by selecting the option “Cr...
Introduction
Following is a brief introduction to the SMED theory, however, this is not a complete course but in combination with an AVIX training it’s a good reference. Remember that most functionality in AVIX is shared among the different modules, so refer to the AVIX Me...
SMED Theory
Why is it important to analyze the resetting /changeover process? – The answer is that most processes are vitiated with different types of waste. Evaluating a resetting process related to the time it takes can look like this: Shigeo Shingo recognised eight ...
AVIX SMED Layout
When AviX is running switch to SMED perspective (module) through pressing in the top menu. Default the windows in AviX SMED are arranged as in the picture below (this picture is showing a completed analysis, first time the windows will be more or less empt...
AVIX SMED analysis step-by-step
Watch video: SMED The step by step instruction below will guide you through the creation of a SMED-analysis. It is assumed that you have already filmed the actual machine resetting. 1. Creating the factory layout When performing the steps described ...
More detailed SMED analysis
Sometimes it is desirable to perform a more in depth SMED analysis. Note that the basics take you along way, so you don’t necessarily need to do this, at least not right away. In depth SMED analysis required the use/combination of AVIX Method, and therefore r...
Creating a SMED instruction
Watch video: Create a changeover workinstruction The SMED analysis can be used to create a resetting instruction. Firstly, each operator gets an individual instruction. Secondly the instruction is divided into four sections: Cover page – Graph, key...
Introduction and preparations
This is a digital training material to be used for first time users as well as experienced AVIX user needing a fresh-up. The document Is divided into different sections covering different parts of AVIX and the available modules. You can either go directly to t...
Aspects in the FMEA Grid
STRUCTURE ANALYSIS (STEP 2) Structure Analysis aims to identify and break down the manufacturing process and represent the process flow as it physically exists. It provides the basis for the Function Analysis (Step 3) Process Item The Process Item of the PF...
Methodology
Depending on your preferences, you can either watch each of the video clips and then repeat yourself using the provided files and instructions in the package, or you can put AVIX and the Web-browser side-by-side in Windows making it possible to "follow John" b...
Method Basics
CREATING PROCESS STEPS Here we Introduce the basic steps In AVIX, how to create the tree-structure, add the movie and create the process sequence. Excersice Use the video Fog_light_brackets.mp4 and repeat by creating the tree structure, adding the video...
