In practice, kitting, sequencing and downsizing are already found in a lot of production organizations. Nevertheless, considerable uncertainty still exists concerning the costs and benefits of these supply methods. The purpose of this research is to uncover the advantages and disadvantages of the different line feeding alternatives and quantify them. The complete flow of components, starting from the supplier to the supply at the final assembly line will be considered. Different methods of line feeding have an impact on material handling costs, operator efficiency, storage space requirement and flexibility. A cost model is developed that captures all these impacts and that quantifies the costs for different line feeding alternatives. This model is tested with data and some conclusions are drawn.
