Abstract

Our main aim is to understand operations performed concerning the time taken in their assigned station to reduce the overall transportation time by combining different functions or removing machining errors to minimize cycle time and workforce involved. The process improvement activity achievement depends not only on the redesign of the layout but also on the operator’s utilization. Their position arrangement was made by taking the manpower occupancy on machinery, minimizing idling time, and changing the work sequence. This study adopts various multi-elimination strategies that combine manpower occupancy on machinery, lean manufacturing, line balancing, and layout improvement to improve the product BUSH315 assembly line of manufacturing company for the automobile industry. A comprehensive methodology is adapted to systematically investigate and analyze the current waste elimination of manufacturing firms. A pilot study of the assembly line is done to estimate line imbalance. This is followed by waste (MUDA) identification and elimination and de-bottlenecking to balance the Line, optimize resource utilization, and promote lean thinking
