Manufacturing excellence using lean systems – a case of an automotive aggregate manufacturing plant in India

PurposeThe paper aims at fulfilling two purposes: (1) to enrich young production shop floor managers to understand and appreciate the different dimensions of manufacturing excellence and (2) to provide a comprehensive industry-based case study to a faculty involved in the teaching-learning process of Lean systems to the Business school management students.Design/methodology/approachImparting learnings through a real-life case study from a manufacturing industry, which successfully doubled its delivery capacity using the project management and Lean systems approach. Value flow techniques have been utilised in the production shop floor.FindingsEffective implementation of lean thinking can significantly facilitate enhancing plant capacity within the original shop floor area and without hindering the delivery to the customers with growing demand. Outcomes of the plant transformation re-emphasised that effective leadership, a well-constituted project team, project management tools, applied knowledge of lean enablers and its metrics and management's engagement are the critical success factors.Research limitations/implicationsThe case has been automotive industry driven.Practical implicationsThis real life industry case study is expected to enrich not only the management graduates who would be industry leaders tomorrow but also the practising young shop floor managers who aspire to achieve manufacturing excellence through lean enablers and metrics.Originality/valueUseful real-life industry-based Lean manufacturing case study to be utilised by the business school faculty members in their class to enrich students/young practising managers.

New industrial solutions in the organization of the production process

The results of development and implementation of software and technical solutions for assembly process control at the level of production shop and site at industrial enterprises are presented. The main basic software modules and their relationship in the production process are installed. Specific examples of practical software implementation in the current production are shown.

An Experimental Examination of ‘5S’ Technique for Continuous Improvement of the Manufacturing Process

Lean manufacturing is the way of continuous improvement, provide support and execution of lean production system. This technique focused on improving quality of products, minimum cost, customer satisfaction and eliminating waste in industry. This research helps out to find out the various strategies of lean manufacturing. The main objective of this research paper is to study and analysis of improvements in waste reduction a well as improving productivity using 5S technique for an automobile ancillary unit for its production shop floor producing components from where the entire data is abstracted by applying 5S evolution methodology. Furthermore, the features and classification of 5S technique is discussed.

Technology Transfer in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - A Review

Technology Transfer (TT) is vital action from drug development in Research and Development (R and D) Department to commercial manufacturing till the product discontinuation. This review is an attempt to give an insight about the transfer of pharmaceutical product from R and D to production including necessary documents required to review the supporting documents and execution procedures in production shop floor. TT is considered effective, if there is a documented evidence that the process and its parameters, repeatedly results in desired product quality which was established upon during TT between the transferee and transferor. For the execution of TT process, expertise from different department such as Engineering, R and D, QA, process analyst and production are teamed. the transmission comprises of arrangements procured in these flows of improvement to achieve the quality as planned throughout manufacture.
