Material Movement Study - Blanking & Stamping
Key Points
- Greenfield facility: MHE requirements
& congestion analysis
Client's Challenge
- Ensure blanking & stamping does not constrain production at body shop
- Optimize MHE requirements
- Analyze impact of crane movement on changeover time &
throughput
PMI's Approach
- Analysis of Data and Verification of Baseline Model
- Understand impact of:
1. Number of forklifts
2. Die Changeover time at Blanking Line; on throughput - Capture impact of material movement congestion
Findings & Recommendation
- Drops in production due to congestion of forklifts at
Stamping Storage area - Under-utilized forklifts at end of Blanking line
- Reduced congestion by proposing that forklifts carry 2
pallets/trip - 30% reduction in MHE requirment by eliminating underutilized forklifts
- Identified 30 minutes as maximum allowable changeover
time at Blanking
