AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRYThroughput Improvement
Cylinder Block Machining Line - Throughput Improvement
Key Points
- Validation of production capacity for a proposed line
- Impact of gantry availability on production
Client's Challenge
- Validate the proposed facility's ability to produce 29,500 cylinder
blocks annually(14.8 JPH) - Minimize buffers while maintaining production above
requirement
PMI's Approach
- Collection & Analysis of Data
- Verification & Validation of Baseline Model
- Identify the top 3 bottlenecks in the line
- Perform experiments to analyze the impact on the throughput of:
1. Buffers
2. Gantry Availability
Findings & Recommendation
- The proposed facility was capable of functioning at 16.5 JPH (Target: 14.8 JPH)
- Predicted future bottlenecks in the system
- Reduction in buffer size led to reduced production
- Reduction in gantry availability did not significantly impact
production
