A mixed-model production line with four variants, automated stations, buffers, and shared operator workload.
Basic, Standard, Pro, and Industrial pressure washer models with different option content.
Automated moulding and screw insertion steps mixed with manual workstations and packing.
How automation, option content, and buffers affect the constraint under different product sequences.
This is a strong example for teams dealing with product options. Higher-spec variants create extra work content, which can shift the bottleneck and change how much buffer space is useful.
Use this template to explore whether automation protects flow, whether manual stations are balanced, and where queues form when the product mix becomes more demanding.
