Workshop Management Processes with Continuous Optimization and Development Techniques

Mr. Pardeep, Jagmail Singh

Abstract


Establishment and use of a process that is most efficient are always be the prime concern, but due to some or other reasons, they are not able to do so. Practically, it is not feasible to obtain ideal efficiency because there is something which is lost in every process which is waste or error. Waste reduces the efficiency of the process and also demands require special equipment. The industries need to focus on optimization of process by shortening the time between the customer order and the product build due to shipment by addressing sources of waste. Workstation stability and continuous improvement mapping are the techniques used for reducing manufacturing wastes and increase in efficiency; for such process, several parameters are being identified in an industry and also evaluations are done on monthly basis and comparisons are followed with the pre-determined standards to identify the scope of improvement to increase the efficiency and to reduce waste.

Keywords
