Introduction

Sequential picking is a method of preparing parts for the cockpit often at the moment when the production of the cockpit itself has not started on the production line. In SAS, either sequential picking is used, which means preparing parts for pallets based on production data received into the kernel. Each pallet contains parts for multiple cockpits. The second method of preparation of parts is based on the so-called tablet kitting method, where boxes for specific cockpits are prepared and the application on the tablet is used for data. This article discusses sequential picking as implemented on SAS lines in Saarlouis, Boleslav and Wolfsburg, for example.
