The document outlines plans for managing off-site warehousing and sequencing assemblies for GM assembly plants. It describes setting up linear kitting lines to sequence parts and subassemblies for delivery to plants just-in-time based on their broadcasts. It aims to enable plants to operate with lower inventories and higher turns by controlling quality issues and rapid responses from the off-site location.

Off site Plant – Plan for Every Part 11 PFEP Step 1: Begin to populate the PFEP spreadsheet Row, Part Name, Part # & Color, Supplier, Std Pack Container info – dimensions, returnable or expendable etc. Step 2: Add usage data Avg weekly use from the actual GM customer schedule Station # and whether it’s a bulk or supermarket part Step 3: Line Side Calculations Assumes Min of 2 hours / Max of 4 hours Calculates requirements and rounds up to Standard Pack Step 4: Storage Calculations How many hours on hand (based on receiving schedule) How S/M spots required? S/M Containers per skid? Step 5: SORT ! Separate Bulk from Supermarket Components Step 6: Apply the Tool Layout Bulk Storage to actual utilization Layout Supermarket correctly Institute Kanban Max Line Side Column = # of Kanbans Calculate Warehouse Space requirements : Based on PFEP Input data from GM Customer Releases Based on number of GM stations to be Sequenced from Kitting Lines at TPS Based on present Actual Shipping Schedules from Suppliers Based on rate of Kitting by TPS operators Based on Number of Receiving/Shipping Docks available. 8 15 48 Exp  135 Capro  L0033115AD,01 Cable ASM - Latch Synch, 2RS, 60% LH 2 10 15 12 R  24 BAE  L0033100AF,01 Latch ASM - Floor, O/B, 2RS, 40% RH, 920 2 10 15 12 R  15 BAE  L0033099AF,01 Latch ASM - Floor, I/B, 2RS, 60% LH, 920 2 10 15 12 R  24 BAE  L0033097AF,01 Latch ASM - Floor, O/B, 2RS, 60% LH, 920 2 H W L Container Size Cntnr Retrn or Exp Std.
