Vidare forskning

Då författarna inte haft möjligt att lyfta samtliga orsaker till en lång ledtid vore det i vidare studier intressant att se vilka övriga faktorer som påverkar ledtiden, både i ett produktionssystem och vid sidan av produktionssystemet. Studien som

genomförts inkluderar enbart processledtiden i ett produktionssystem som tillverkar kundanpassade produkter. Då processledtiden utgör en del i den totala ledtiden finns det därför andra delar av den totala ledtiden som kan vara av intresse att studera. Bland annat är ledtiden för materialförsörjning, konstruktion, planering, administration och distribution några av de element som skulle kunna studeras. Enligt författarna torde ledtiden för konstruktion vara av störst intresse då en produkt måste konstrueras fullt ut eller i delar innan den kan tillverkas samt att konstruktion utgör en central del i verksamheten vid tillverkning av kund- anpassade produkter. En reduktion av ledtiden för konstruktion av en produkt påverkar således direkt den totala ledtiden.

Vidare studier av ledtidsreduktion för kundanpassade produkter som tillverkas i ett produktionssystem med fokus på konstruktionsprocessen anser författarna skulle kunna vara ett utmärkt komplement till denna studie.
