Production Lead Time Reduction in a Hydraulic Machine Manufacturing Industry by Applying Lean Techniques
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Production lead time reduction is an important means to improve productivity in manufacturing industries. This paper focuses on improving the productivity through lead time reduction in a hydraulic excavator manufacturing facility. Time study has been carried out to estimate the time taken by each and every process in the product fabrication line. Pareto charts are used to analyze the process and bottleneck operations are identified. Process improvement activities are carried out by developing new methods through process and design modifications. Implementation of the proposed process improvements in the fabrication line leads to improved productivity and reduced lead time.
