For every manufacturing organization, price of the product primarily comprises of manufacturing cost and desired profit. If a company wishes to increase its profit, one way is to reduce the manufacturing cost with maintaining the quality of the product. Waste reduction, especially the (wait) time waste, is an important factor to shrink the manufacturing cost. The purpose of this paper is to identify and address the way to reduce idle time in the apparel manufacturing organization using various line balancing technique to improve productivity and efficiency in domestic context. Line balancing job has been done through the ‘Largest Candidate Rule’ and ‘Ranked Positional Weight Technique’. Using these techniques, a software has been developed to arrange the elemental tasks in the workstation, and to show the balancing efficiencies of each method and other important information. The overall job may be very helpful in some decision making process of the organization. At last an efficient and balanced line has been proposed through the study.

AbstractThe central aim of the article is company governance, i.e., researching governance of a company that does not want to be only financially successful but also direct its governance toward socially responsible governance. The article begins with the definition of “theoretical backgrounds,” in which social responsibility in regard to company governance improvement in quality is explained. The article then focuses on the measurement of the quality of company governance; in the research, the selected tool chosen to evaluate the governance of the chosen company regarding social responsibility, i.e., SEECGAN index, is used. Further, the case study of a Slovenian public limited liability company is used. One of the important research findings is the recognition that the addressed part of the SEECGAN index needs to be innovated and further developed. Additional questions for the completion of the index used presents the added value of the article. This article has two limitations: 1) it focuses only on the tool chosen to evaluate the governance of the chosen company regarding social responsibility; 2) the case study is based on publicly accessible data.

The article evaluated the control of Stencil in the subprocess of Printing of the SMD line of a company located in the Industrial Pole of Manaus (PIM), to provide subsidies to develop a computerized system. With computerization, the focus of employees will be directed to the activities of production and quality of manufactured products, also, the collection of process data, done in real-time, will allow managers to better monitor and take actions in the process. To this end, a case study, bibliographic research of articles, dissertations, and theses involving the theme, and documentary research (forms, records, etc.) with the sectors involved were used. The descriptive statistics method was applied, quality tools were used, aimed at identifying and solving problems such as PDCA, Pareto, Ishikawa Diagram, flow chart, and 5W2H. A study of the activities related to the control of the Stencil was carried out, of the documentation used in the process, as well as of the factors and causes related to the effective Stencil control. Among the results, 24 causes affect the performance of the Stencil control, concluding that the main failures were human, due to the prioritization of production goals by the employees, leaving the other activities in the background, which is why the 24 guidelines proposed for the computerization of this process become relevant, some of which are: defining means to identify each Stencil using a bar code or QR code; do not allow the use of the Stencil if one of the activities unfinished in the process; stop production when an activity is not performed; digitize the documents used in this process; create an automatic notification to those responsible, when an action is necessary, etc.

Produzir mais, empregando menos tempo e menos recursos, é o sonho de qualquer empresa. Diante disso, este estudo busca resolver problemas de utilização da capacidade e de desnivelamentos de produção. Dessa maneira, o objetivo consiste em propor um formato de programação que otimize a utilização dos recursos e resulte em maior equilíbrio na produção de uma empresa do ramo metalúrgico, produtora de implementos rodoviários e localizada na região Sul do Brasil. Por meio de um estudo de caso, identificaram-se a forma de trabalho e a situação da programação da empresa. A partir disso, criou-se um modelo de um novo formato de produção, voltado à minimização das variações de volumes e fundamentado, basicamente, na utilização dos conceitos de takt time e de balanceamento das linhas. Conclui-se que o modelo proposto permitirá um ritmo continuado na produção, sendo capaz de estabilizá-la. Ademais, conforme for aplicado nas linhas da empresa, evidenciará os pontos ao longo do fluxo que precisam de melhoria, identificando gargalos e ociosidades. A soma de tais fatores proporcionará o aprimoramento contínuo dos processos da empresa e a otimização dos recursos disponíveis para a produção. Palavras-Chave: Linha de produção. Programação de produção. Takt time. Balanceamento de linha. Capacidade produtiva.   Abstract: Producing more, using less time and fewer resources, is the dream of any company. Therefore, this study seeks to solve problems of capacity utilization and production unevenness. Thus, the objective is to propose a programming format that optimizes the use of resources and results in greater balance in the production of a company in the metallurgical sector, producer of road implements and located in the southern region of Brazil. Through a case study, the way of working and the situation of the company's programming were identified. From this, a model of a new production format was created, aimed at minimizing volume variations and basically based on the use of the concepts of takt time and line balancing. It is concluded that the proposed model will allow a continued pace in production, being able to stabilize it. Furthermore, as applied to the company's lines, it will highlight the points along the flow that need improvement, identifying bottlenecks and idleness. The sum of these factors will provide the continuous improvement of the company's processes and the optimization of the resources available for production. Keywords: Production line.

Construction is traditionally depicted as a labor-intensive industry which involves considerable inefficiency inherent to the common practices. Offsite construction offers a change to the current stigma, in which most of the work is transferred to a facility with a controlled environment and later transported to its destination, considerably reducing the amount of movement required by people and materials. Proper planning for such a facility is crucial for the success of offsite construction operations, since the effectiveness of such a space will determine the efficiency of the process and the quality of the final product. Several methods exist for layout creation and improvement in the manufacturing industry; however, there are advantages and disadvantages to using the different methods in an offsite construction facility. A review of the literature is conducted to summarize commonly used methods and respective considerations of each. The identified methods are then applied to an existing case study plant to create the optimized layout for each. The resulting layouts are then compared and evaluated based on the ease of transporting modules and components within the facility, and the estimated waste reduction and productivity increase. This evaluation will identify the usefulness of each method and identify common issues related to facility layouts that should be taken into consideration in future layout planning for offsite construction facilities.
