Study Implementation

This paper presents a case study implementation of one of the Toyota Production System (TPS) tools, known as Standardized Work (SW), in an automotive assembly line in Malaysia. The main functions of SW are to design, develop, document and visualize a set of a manufacturing process with detail and proper study of it. SW is conducted to raise production consistency and quality of a produced product and the job performed. With the proper SW implementation, good results have been obtained from the increase in efficiency, productivity, quality and process stability of the operator’s performance. Thus, the findings are consistent with TPS philosophies which are waste elimination and continuous improvement in any manufacturing area.

The aim of this study is to analyze the existing production line in the automotive industry and proposed a layout of improved production line in the manufacturing process and obtain the optimum rate of production time. Thus, line balancing method and Yamazumi Chart was utilized to analyze the current and proposed production line. The collection of the data of the existing production line was conducted at one of the automotive company in Malaysia. From the analysis of current production line, two improved layout were proposed and evaluated. The proposed layout was selected based on a balanced production line and ability to meet customer demand. A balanced production line will ensure smooth process and eliminate wastage during operation

Continuous improvement of productivity and quality is a potential requirement of any competitive organization. Lean six-sigma is known as the useful and popular method to do it. In this paper, a case study in the mechanical manufacturing process would be presented as a successful implementation. The seven quality control tools would be integrated in specific systematic steps of the PDCA cycle and DMAIC process, and lean technology. The case study shows the promising results on improvement of productivity and quality of a mechanical production line. It could be considered to implement for other production or assembly line in other fields such as electronic assembly line, garment line, and furnitune assembly line.

Design And Manufacture

It is a common design practice to balance all rotating members of a machine. Rotating parts can be designed to be inherently balanced by their geometry. However, due to production tolerances there will be some small unbalance in each part. Therefore a balancing operation may be required for each part after manufacture. In the case of electrical motors the major source of vibration and noise is unbalance in the armature. In the motor manufacturing industry, this problem is generally corrected by removing material from the armature. However, the number of unbalance armatures is generally high and therefore the balance operation is usually a bottleneck in the production line. As a result, the manufacturing process becomes inefficient and costly. Based on the fact that a motor manufacturing company is facing balancing problems in its production line, this paper presents a dynamic balancing analysis of the armature in an automobile starting motor. A theoretical balancing analysis is carried out using the design and manufacture information. Balancing is also experimentally studied at the assembly line by measuring the unbalance through the whole manufacturing process. Both analysis, theoretical and experimental, and then compared. From this comparison several external factors that affect the unbalance in the real assembly process are identified. As a result, design changes and production process modifications are proposed to reduce the armature unbalance.

This paper presents a case study of continuous productivity improvement of an automotive parts production line using Internet of Everything (IoE) data for fault monitoring. Continuous productivity improvement denotes an iterative process of analyzing and updating the production line configuration for productivity improvement based on measured data. Analysis for continuous improvement of a production system requires a set of data (machine uptime, downtime, cycle-time) that are not typically monitored by a conventional fault monitoring system. Although productivity improvement is a critical aspect for a manufacturing site, not many production systems are equipped with a dedicated data recording system towards continuous improvement. In this paper, we study the problem of how to derive the dataset required for continuous improvement from the measurement by a conventional fault monitoring system. In particular, we provide a case study of an automotive parts production line. Based on the data measured by the existing fault monitoring system, we model the production system and derive the dataset required for continuous improvement. Our approach provides the expected amount of improvement to operation managers in a numerical manner to help them make a decision on whether they should modify the line configuration or not.

Abstract: Due to technological advances, trade politicies and society's consumption patterns, competitiveness among companies has increased considerably, requiring practices that provide a constant improvement in production indicators and product quality. In this context, the use of Toyota Production System tools, also known as Lean Manufacturing, have a fundamental role in the elimination of waste and continuous improvement of industrial production levels. Thus, this work aims to implement a standardized work routine among employees working in a market of parts in an Agricultural Machinery industry, which lacks production methods. To represent this situation, real data were used, which correspond to the needs of the assembly line, and which served as the basis for the analysis and implementation of a new work routine. The results obtained enabled the creation of a standardized work routine, which was obtained by balancing activities between operators and eliminating activities that did not add value to the product.

Although the quality of a completed engine ready for shipping is traditionally assured by adopting the firing run at the final process of the engine assembly line, we have still not readily accepted the testing of engines in cold state i.e. without actual combustion & continue to neglect all its long term benefits in view of the immediate shortcomings which not only enhances the inspection speed, fault detection but also poses zilch threat to the environment around us. It increases the effectiveness of the “In-Process Quality Control” of an Engine production line.

With the continuous improvement of the medical level in China, the quality of hospital service and the environment have attracted people’s attention. The hospital is a place with relatively dense population, and the general hospital consists of a number of departments with complicated procedures and staggered routes. In order to improve the efficiency of medical treatment, stabilize the mood of patients, and respond to the call of establishing a human-oriented hospital, it is particularly important to design a reasonable and comprehensive hospital wayfinding and signage system. In this paper, the universal design concept and principles which are more suitable for everyone are applied to the hospital wayfinding and signage system. Through the field investigation of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, the author analyzes the problems and sums up the design criteria which are suitable for the hospital wayfinding and signage system.
