Statement Of Industrial Engineering

With the lean thinking process comes new ideas, systems and equipment that have been realistically applied to enhance the flow process. Methods used to deal with organization, standardization, exclusion of non-value added steps and overall visual control.

“Lean manufacturing systems produce what customers want, in the quantity they want, when they want it, and with minimum resources. Applying lean concepts in manufacturing typically presents the greatest opportunities for cost reduction and quality improvement” (Jacobs & Chase, 2011, p. 423), Riordan Manufacturing can better position themselves as market leaders.

Chase et al. (2006) state that “lean production is an integrated set of activities designed to achieve high-volume production using minimal inventories of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods” (p. 471). The essential components of lean production are surplus elimination, constant work-flow, and consumer appeal. The minute these components are in the neighborhood of supply, quality and cost, this outlines the groundwork for a lean production organization. A Japanese plan of continuous progress named the Kaizen is responsible for the lean production idea. Riordan can adjust the lean production concept by employee empowerment and advancement, staying focused on making processes stronger, impact of consumer relations, rapid merchandise growth and production, and cooperation with suppliers are the imperative strategies of Riordan managing lean. Features of a lean enterprise include a combined single piece continuous workflow and near incorporation of the entire value series from raw material to finished product. In addition, demand drives production rather than predictions. This means that manufacture designing is by consumer demand or appeal and not to become system loading or strict work flows on the company floor. This will help Riordan keep minimal inventories at each step of the production process. It is also important to know that having a working participation by employees involved in

Since the lean operation and the total quality management model are based on a highly technical approach, toolsets and qualitative analysis, hence sufficient training in leadership, functional and technical skill will be mandatory for the employees in every category, including the operation, functional and business area to ensure a successful operation and to communicate and maintain proper control in the process. The Company will follow the agile manufacturing practice which comprises a set of quality standards, practices and iterative testing process driven by the end user feedback method to deliver a high quality customizable product that fits the exact need for a specific market segment and keep constant focus to reduce production overheads and eliminate any unnecessary steps in the process engineering that could potentially increase the cost and the delivery timing (Schnaars,

The exits manufacturing system had many error, waste and inefficiencies in shop floor and logistic (they wasted long time and valuable raw materials and sometimes the manufactured panels wasted because of weak layout design) , on the other hand on 2006 customer demands increased around 75 percent and managers need to enhance their manufacturing process efficiency to reduce their costs and respond sooner to the customer demand .in October 2006 Siemens AG sent a letter regarding the implementation of lean management in Kalwa company and mentioned they eagerness to improve Kalwa factory like the other branches during the world . They expected this implementation will enhance company’s capacity to triple during five or six years.

Value stream mapping tools are specifically designed to reduce the waste and lost efficiencies of complex production and manufacturing systems (Braglia, Carmignani, Zammori, 2006). They can also be used to complete complex simulations designed to troubleshoot supply chain-related problems and challenges over time (Y-H, H, 2007). Their most prevalent use is in addressing the seven main wastes that occur in any manufacturing environment incouding overproduction, waiting, transport, inappropriate processing, unnecessary inventory, unnecessary motion

This business brief will discuss Autoliv, a Fortune 500 company who manufactures automotive safety components (Krajewski, Ritzman, Malhotra, 2013). Autoliv has over 80 plants in more than 32 countries, all of which run on a lean manufacturing system, which is referred to as “Autoliv Production System (APS) (Krajewski, Ritzman, Malhotra, 2013). Toyota pioneered the principles that the APS is based on (Krajewski, Ritzman, Malhotra, 2013). Another A lean system allows businesses to improve operations, by getting rid of the “unwanted waste”, such as overproduction, transportation, waiting, motion, inventory, defects, etc (Krajewski, Ritzman, Malhotra, 2013).

It was during a speech in the House of Commons in late June 1925, when Winston Churchill declared the famous line, “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” Almost 200 years previous, founding father and philosopher Benjamin Franklin lived off a similar idea, as he later recounted in his autobiography. This common idea is called self-improvement, and it involves furthering one’s learning, status, or character by his or her own efforts. The concept of self-improvement in hypothetical terms sounds simple and straightforward, but is not so in practice. For example, realistically, how does one change for the better? Is true change even possible? Even if so, what is the purpose of doing so? Impossible or attainable, meaningful or frivolous, the idea behind self-improvement is a central theme in our history- and Benjamin Franklin is a prime example of this attitude.

The goal of research described application lean manufacturing to improving the manufacturing process on an assembly line in a car plant. Currently manufacturing process have so many disanvantagees,such as low efficiency, high cost, mass production quality is not stable, the accuracy is not high, and more labor and labor intensity,and these led to increased costs and less profit. Also sometimes the company cant achieve planned daily production target due to some activity wastes, which not added value to the production process.These are not conducive to the company’s future development. In order to make the company more competitive, company must have a new strategy to solve these problems. To achieve and sustain manufacturing excellence, you have to eliminate waste across your global production

Lean production is widely understood to be production based upon a range of waste saving measures inspired by Japanese manufacturing companies, particularly the Kaizen and Just in time techniques. Metov’s plastics have taken the decision upon themselves to incorporate some of the characteristics of lean production namely time management and critical path analysis into their manufacturing process and I will examine these.

Lean manufacturing is a method of carefully reducing non-value-adding work during production. Value is defined from customer’s perspective as any action or process that the customer will be willing to pay for. Lean manufacturing has been traced to automobile industry – Ford motors in the United States and Toyota motors in Japan(Singh et al., 2010a; Singh et al., 2010b). These companies simplified the processes of making their products by eliminating non-adding-value works. This also led to standardization.

The endemic digitisation of products, value chains and data in today’s modern age has been coined the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ (PwC 2014). Also known as the “Internet of Things” and “Industry 4.0”, this era of digital technologies can be seen as a megatrend, with one fifth of industrial companies having digitised their core processes within the value chain as of 2014 (PwC 2014).

This research is about the engineering profession. This research was chosen to clarify the field of industrial engineering. Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering mechanical which deals with the manufacturing and production processes, and inspection and testing of various products of the industrial process and examine the quality of development and the development of different manufacturing mechanisms, and the work of all these different things at the lowest possible cost. Industrial Engineering and function as a link between the various engineering disciplines and economic disciplines that are interested in the optimal use of these machines and reduce the cost of the largest degree possible to run, and get biggest profit. Industrial Engineering and one of importance in the development of

I got a chance to intern with TATA Johnson Controls Ltd, Pune an auto-ancillary company which is into manufacturing seating systems. It was during this six-month internship period I gained invaluable exposure to industrial processes. I have led projects in Supply Chain Management under the guidance of General Manager-Operations. Rigorous study and efforts in this direction with the application of optimization techniques enabled me to put forward proposals using Value Analysis/Value Engineering process.. By using the data from SAP ERP and thorough analysis using spreadsheets, I have arrived at both long-term and short-term proposals to make sure maximum productivity and cost-efficiency are achieved. The implementation culminated with an overall reduction in the shift-load besides significant cost saving.
