What is synchronized production?

The process where each run of production will put out an identical sequence of items in terms of quantity, mix and rate.

What is system synchronization?

You need to perform system synchronization if one of the following situations occurs: You have moved all of your data to the new system. Or one of the following situations applies: The existing system is a production system that needs to stay up and running while you convert to the new system.

What is the purpose of synchronizing?

The main purpose of synchronization is the sharing of resources without interference using mutual exclusion. The other purpose is the coordination of the process interactions in an operating system. Semaphores and monitors are the most powerful and most commonly used mechanisms to solve synchronization problems.

What is lean synchronization?

“Lean synchronization is the aim of achieving the flow of products and services which is able to deliver exactly what customers want, in exact quantities, exactly when needed, exactly where required at the lowest possible cost” (Slack et al, 2010).

How does synchronization happen?

Synchronization is the coordination of events to operate a system in unison. For example, the conductor of an orchestra keeps the orchestra synchronized or in time. Systems that operate with all parts in synchrony are said to be synchronous or in sync—and those that are not are asynchronous.

What are two methods of synchronization?

There are two types of thread synchronization mutual exclusive and inter-thread communication.

• Mutual Exclusive. Synchronized method. Synchronized block. Static synchronization.
• Cooperation (Inter-thread communication in java)

What is lead time production?

Lead time measures how long it takes to complete a process from beginning to end. In manufacturing, lead time often represents the time it takes to create a product and deliver it to a consumer.
