AVIX  Resource Balance is a balancing module where all data from AVIX  Method are gathered. It is possible to ”build” production lines including all necessary data to be able to balance the work load between workstations. Open the Balance module by clicking ...

Rules added will be viewable in the sub-section “rules” of the relations tab. This can be used for getting a quick overview of the rules set in the process. Rules can be deleted here by selecting the rule and clicking the red cross or pressing DEL key  

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Here we show how easy It Is to balance process steps between workstations. For those of you with mixed model process flows, we also show how you can create different product specifications/configurations. In AVIX we call this variants (variations), which simp...

If you're familiar with the theory of SMED analysis, you will find It really easy to create a SMED analysis In AVIX. In this video we show how to create the analysis and printing a changeover Instruction. It Is not a requirement, but note that you can easily c...

IMPORTING PROCESSES TO AVIX Here we show how you can easily import process steps to AVIX. If you have process steps in e.g. Excel containing times and descriptions, you can easily import the data and start working In AVIX. EXERCISE Use your own process ...
