Work Standardization and Industrial Engineering Study for Leading Textile Machine Manufacturer in India
mbawankar |
Leading textile machine manufacturer is having a challenges of man power deployment and work standardization with respect to the varying market demand. Hence client wants to conduct IE Study for work standardization in Tapeline Machine Assembly Shop
Key Points
- Work Content Calculation for Tapeline Assembly Unit
- Work Standardization using SWCT
- Increasing per month Capacity
- Manpower Deployment for varied demand
Client's Challenge
- Product is huge in size and cycle time is high
- Product itself is assembly of around 6 Nos of Machines/Units
PMI's Approach
Analysis
1. Project Kick Off
- Existing Facility Walk Through
- CFT Formation
2. Data Collection
- Team of 6 Engineers – Data Collection in 3 Shifts
- Base Model Data Collection
- Exclusive activity data collection for other model
3. Analysis
- Work Content Estimation
- SWCT
- Work Distribution using Static Simulation
SWCT - Standard Work Combination Table
Static Simulation for Shop Floor Activities for 12 Nos. Products/Month
Proposed Layout
Findings & Recommendations
- Cycle time improved from 1.3 days/unit to 0.9 days/unit
- 30% Manpower Reduction and 43% Productivity Improvement
- Deployment of operators, as per study, to be done so that the unit runs efficiently.
- Materials and Tools availability to be ensure at each workstation
- Layout Modification are required as suggested.
- Jib crane for Water Bath Unit
- Material Storage units to be provided near unit (within 15-20 steps) (All Units)
