Principles of Lean Production to Designing Manual Assembly Workstations
نویسنده
چکیده
This article deals with the specification of basics Lean Manufacturing principles that should help to designing lean production solutions for own applications. The 9 principles discussed in this paper are: continuous flow; lean machines simplicity; workplace organization; parts presentation; reconfigurability; product quality; maintainability; ease of access; and ergonomics. The presented article focuses on characteristic of possibilities to design “lean” assembly workstations with a modular construction structure made up of aluminium profile and buildingblock kit. There are specified selected potentialities for a productivity improvement. The goal is to present some examples of flexible workstations construction in ordinary assembly system.

Assembly line balancing to minimize balancing loss and system loss
Assembly Line production is one of the widely used basic principles in production system. The problem of Assembly Line Balancing deals with the distribution of activities among the workstations so that there will be maximum utilization of human resources and facilities without disturbing the work sequence. Research works reported in the literature mainly deals with minimization of idle time i.e...
متن کاملA Lean Manufacturing Roadmap for an Automotive Body Assembly Line within Axiomatic Design Framework
In this paper we are to present a practical application of Axiomatic Design (AD) methodology, as a roadmap to lean production, in redesigning a car body assembly line. Axiomatic Design theory provides a framework to simplify the whole problem. According to the AD principles, a hierarchical structure has been developed. The developed structure originated in lean manufacturing principles and exis...

Automobile sector forms the backbone of manufacturing sector. Vehicle assembly line is important section in automobile plant where repetitive tasks are performed one after another at different workstations. In this thesis, a methodology is proposed to reduce cycle time and time loss due to important factors like equipment failure, shortage of inventory, absenteeism, set-up, material handling, r...
متن کاملSolving a multi-objective mixed-model assembly line balancing and sequencing problem
This research addresses the mixed-model assembly line (MMAL) by considering various constraints. In MMALs, several types of products which their similarity is so high are made on an assembly line. As a consequence, it is possible to assemble and make several types of products simultaneously without spending any additional time. The proposed multi-objective model considers the balancing and sequ...
متن کاملA Robust credibility-based fuzzy programming for supply chain optimization in lean manufacturing environment
Lean manufacturing is a strategic concern for companies which conduct mass production and it has become even more significant for those producing in a project-oriented way by modularization. In this paper, a bi-objective optimization model is proposed to design and plan a supply chain up to the final assembly centre. The delivery time and the quality in the procurement and low fluctuation of t...
