dc.description.abstractRocla (Pty) Ltd is a manufacturer of precast concrete products situated in Roodepoort, Johannesburg. This document highlights the current problems associated with the manufacturing of pipes resulting in excessive cycle times.In the arrival of a proposed solution, literature was gathered and analysed in order to develop a successful methodology. The methodology employed in solving this problem highlights the use of value stream mapping enhanced by simulation. The proposed solution entails the introduction of a continuous steam chamber, which will alleviate the congestion within the current process, in an attempt of decreasing the cycle time.en_US
dc.description.abstractRocla (Pty) Ltd vervaardig sementprodukte en is geleë in Roodepoort, Johannesburg. Hierdie dokument beklemtoon die probleme wat huidiglik ervaar word deur Rocla, wat gepaard gaan met onvoldoende prosestye by die vervaardiging van pype. Nadat literatuur bestudeer is, het ‘n voorgestelde metodologie na vore gekom. Die voorgestelde metodologie vir die oplossing van die probleem, beklemtoon die gebruik van waarde-stroomkaarte wat verryk word deur simulasie. Die voorgestelde oplossing fokus op die bekendstelling van ‘n kontinue stoomkamer in die plek van die gewone stoomkamer. Die kontinue stoomkamer sal opondhoud in die produksielyn uitskakel, wat sal lei tot korter prosestye.en_US
