Edfa Output Capacity Ramp Up Study Of Oclaro,Inc.

The modern manufacturing industry, due to the market demand change rapidly, unstable, the companies are often facing orders have insufficient capacity and cannot make delivery. So the capacity ramp up became the business key activity. To improve productivity and capacity, almost all business leader first thought way is to increase the people and equipment, to build the plant. In a word, they are only through increasing resources to increase the output capacity and to meet customer demand. However, increase production capacity is not only invested resources in such a way, but this is not the preferred path. This paper is mainly discuss Oclaro, Inc. Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier(EDFA) line capacity upgrade as a background, elaborated a series of production capacity of relevant theoretical and practical research content, and elaborated the capacity to enhance the research status, development trend, research methods and applications. And then to Oclaro, Inc. Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier line capacity as the main line, through the project management in the9Steps of problem solving method with brainstorming, fishbone, Plato, assessment scorecard to whole project were described, and the current capacity to enhance the research methods include, lean production, action research, operation standard and IE ECRS method, combining mathematical model verification and optimization to improve productivity. Finally Oclaro, Inc. improved productivity and ultimately the company successfully achieves customer demand.From Oclaro, Inc. Capacity ramp up, we can see similar enterprise encountered the same problem. They can refer to such a thought to improve productivity. Enterprises can learn from the text about the capacity of the design and analysis process, and understand the importance of promoting productivity and production project management importance. The related field and similar enterprises have a certain reference significance and function, which discussed in this paper.
