Productivity Improvеmеnt in Body in Whitе

Abstract

In today’s manufacturing industry there is an increased focus to produce the right product at right time and in the automotive sector the pressure on suppliers in order to deliver is high. In this matter the organization has to have clear and reachable goals together with a production system that can meet these goals. The aim of this study was to observe and discover improvements in an assembly Line by using Line balancing, Spot weld sequencing and kaizen with Robotic Automation. The task is to identify bottlenecks by its cycle time of station for different assemblies. Balancing of cycle time with respect to spot weld count for that assembly. For spot weld id Non-Destructive Test (NDT) and Destructive Test (DT) for weld strength and weld quality carried out to fulfill customer demand for quality of parts. To increase productivity in an automotive assembly plant to satisfy customer demand and also develop best practices for productivity improvement for robotic welding operation lines by principles of lean manufacturing and have been applied to increase the plant's output in order. The elemental tasks are closely examined for possible reduction of workstation times by choosing efficient work methods with ergonomic features.
