FIFO Station

FIFO queues (first in first out) are particular warehouses within finite capacity in which the products are stored one after another so that the first product that comes in the store is the first to be taken.

FIFO queues allow the flow to run, although they introduce a delay in the production lead time more or less long depending on the size of the tail.

Processes separated by a FIFO queue are not completely decoupled, because the length of the tail is set and once filled, the previous process must stop.

Decoupling using FIFO queues is typically used when:

• the machine has low reliability;
• the machine, although can work all the products in the available time, does not ensure that the cycle time for all the products remain within the takt time;
• the machine can not work all the products in the available time because of the presence of products with a cycle time greater than the takt time;
• processes are off-line or remote outsourced;
• the products come in indipendent flows so you do not need to take them from the supply.
