The term Sequence inlining system as a system of the sequenced delivery is used in two different meanings, as a general term for an IT system as well as a designation of an organizational principle, this content but consider the same subject.

Fields of application for a Sequence inlining system as an information and control system as well as an organizing principle are especially to be found in the automotive and supplier industry, in which a large number of variants of the to be installed, the modules must be provided with the just- in-sequence principle (for example: Seats in the right color, the right gear variant, ...).

IT system

A Sequence inlining system as an IT system controls the sequential delivery of parts and assemblies to the production line.

The system takes into account in a preview, have to be at what time provided by the given production program, each suitable, ordered by the customer such variant of a part at the installation. In the calculation of the sequence chain is communicated to the supplier or the logistics department in the process chain through the system across all time requirements when the extradition, in extreme cases, should not begin until the installation of the part.

The Sequence inlining system is used in practice, especially in the heavily working with sequence deliveries automotive industry, as a link to various other IT systems ( assembly planning system, warehouse management system, transportation control system, etc.).

Since very strong adaptations to the existing IT environment are necessary in the majority of use cases in a Sequence inlining system, however, can not be said of a standard software. Result, the actual practical designation of the system is very different.

Organizing principle

As an organizing principle, the sequence inlining system means the combination of organizational measures that are necessary to support the internal material flow of a manufacturing or assembly so that the final manufacturing and assembly sequence is available at the right time at the right point of demand by the right part. In the automotive industry is therefore also referred to as a ' string of pearls '. Among the organizational measures are therefore in addition to the pure personnel organization among others, the personnel control the transport and transport planning, and material inventory control to understand.

In complex production structures such as in the automotive industry, in which a product passes through different production areas, it may be destroyed from the original manufacturing sequence, which are often caused by quality problems with the necessary rework. To restore the original or re- planned sequence, a sequence converter is needed. This can be, for example, a sorting memory or parallel material flow routes that are connected to switches.
