Riveting Process

Evolution is "understanding and overcoming current constraints in small steps toward optimum." "Understanding" requires elucidation of facts and corroborating theories that can explain those facts in a coherent manner. "Overcoming" requires self-development to suit the environment. In this paper, a case study about how a manufacturing process is improved in terms of productivity and quality using evolutionary improvements is explained. Here "Understanding" is achieved through use of Shainin Technique, PM analysis, Affinity Diagram, and the engineer's ingenuity, along with Relations diagram. "Overcoming" is achieved through Geometrical Analysis and Designed Experiments. The Study has set a new benchmark in the Stator riveting process by proving it can yield the desired results, and the need to adapt welding process is avoided.

Quality And Reliability

Nowadays human safety and comfort are the most considerable parameters in designing and manufacturing of a vehicle, that is why every organization ensures the quality and reliability of components used in the vehicle. Leaf spring is also a component of vehicle which plays an important role in human safety and comfort. It acts as a structural member and an integral part of suspension system. It is important to eliminate the failures in designing and manufacturing process of leaf springs because of its importance in functionality and safety of vehicle. In this research, failure mode and effects analysis has been used to analyze and reduce the risks of 42 possible failures that can occur in automotive leaf spring. It starts from determining, classifying, and analyzing all potential failures and then rating them with the help numeric scores. The four numeric scores namely severity, occurrence, detection, and Risk Priority Number (RPN) are used to find the high potential failures of semi-elliptical leaf springs. In the end, actions are recommended for RPN greater than 250, to increase quality and reliably of product.

The aim of this study is to analyze the existing production line in the automotive industry and proposed a layout of improved production line in the manufacturing process and obtain the optimum rate of production time. Thus, line balancing method and Yamazumi Chart was utilized to analyze the current and proposed production line. The collection of the data of the existing production line was conducted at one of the automotive company in Malaysia. From the analysis of current production line, two improved layout were proposed and evaluated. The proposed layout was selected based on a balanced production line and ability to meet customer demand. A balanced production line will ensure smooth process and eliminate wastage during operation

Value Stream

In today’s competitive market place, manufacturing companies must apply continuous process improvement in order to maintain a returning customer base. One way of achieving constant process improvement is through value stream mapping. Value stream mapping is used to visualize the current processes for easier understanding and problem identification. A well-defined problem statement will ensure a successful outcome of a project improvement process. This research provides a case study performed on a rope manufacturing process. A current state value stream map is created, and the possible improvements are suggested. The implemented results are shown in the form of future state map. The results show that, after waste elimination and structural revision, a manufacturing process becomes more efficient, enabling the customer to receive an order significantly faster.
