  2. Introduction; P.Q. analysis; Process graph and time estimate; Functional vs. Process layout and number of lines; One Piece Flow lines; Large vs Small Lines; Takt time; Shojinka and multiskilled operators; Small in line machines; Line balancing; Workstation design. 20 principles of Layout and Line Design. I. Production Flow I.1. Layout and Line Design 5. Low Cost Automation 4. Smed 3. Standard Work 2. Border of Line • Layout and Line Design

  3. Introduction • It is important to differentiate between PROCESS and OPERATION: • PROCESS is flow (movement) of materials from dock to dock. It includes many operations: • Material transportation; • Material waiting batch size end; • Material transformation; • Material batch waiting; • Material being inspected. • OPERATION is flow of operator movements to perform above operations; • TARGETS of Layout and Line Design: • Elimination of operations other than Value Added; • Creation of 1 piece flow value added operations.

  4. Layout and Line Design always starts with a PQ analysis; The A references (high runners) are good candidates for semi automated lines (maintaining 1 piece flow); The B references are good candidates for manual, less automated lines; The C references (low runners) are good candidates for single bench/manual lines, flexible for many references. P.Q. analysis • 3 references = 45% of the quantity sold in 1 year • 10 references = 35% of the quantity sold in 1 year Q: Quantity A1 • 15 references = 15% of the quantity sold in 1 year A2 (3 ref) (10) • 120 references = 5% of the quantity sold in 1 year B (15) C (120) P: Product References

  5. It should be done for each A (high runners) reference; Starts with the main component (the one where all the others will be agregated, the grey body). Ex: the chassis of an automobile; No representation of Muda operations (only value added operations); Time should be estimated without Muda (net operation times); At this stage times represent a rough estimate of net operation times (be carefull with standard times given by time study departments, usually include too much Muda).

  11. Functional vs Process Layout • The evolution of a Functional Layout (job shop type) to a Process Layout (flow shop type) at a Kawasaki Motorcycle machining plant; • Step 1: one operator for each isolated machine; • Step 2: one operator for 2/3 machines; • Step 3: process flow cells; • Step 4: process flow cells in-line and multi cell operators

  12. Functional vs Process Layout • Aluminium Die Casting plant; • From a Functional Layout to ... • ...Process Flow Layout... • Check the savings in material flow (lines).

  14. Large vs. Small Lines • Small number of product references flow on 1 or more automated lines (Low Cost Automation); • Large number of product references flow on 1 or more smaller less automated lines.

  15. Available Time for Production (1) Customer Demand (2) Takt Time = Example: Time: 2 x 8 h (480 min) Breaks: 20 minutes / shift Takt time = Cleaning: 10 minutes / shift Demand: 10.000 units/week = 0,45 min = 27 sec /unit 2 x (480-20-10) 10.000 / 5 Takt Time • The production cycle should obey the Takt Time, i.e., match the demand cycle; • Usually the Line Design Cycle Time is smaller than the Takt Time (because of Efficiency Losses). (1) Total Time without programmed stoppages. (2) Number of units required in that period of time.

  16. Shojinka and Multiskilled Operators • Shojinka = line is able to adapt output to Takt Time by changing nº of operators

  18. Small In-line Machines • To change a Functional Layout to a Process based Layout, usually more machines are necessary; • The “Small In-Line Machines” concept refers to smaller less universal machines; • It is possible to develop this type of machines in-house; • Usual in-house developed machines are; • Cleaning and rinsing machines; • Simple machining operations; • Small presses; • Use oil pans for cleansing; • Use hair dryers and home use ovens for drying and heating. • Looking at a universal automated centralized machine, the Kaizen eye tries to spot: • What are the real value added operations done inside the machine; • How can the machine be simplified to fit a one piece flow line.

  19. Line Balancing Product Work Contet Work Team A (Regular Team) Work Team B (“Mura” Team) A B Product Families C • Responsible to operate a fixed number of operations in-line; • Line balancing based on product family C Work Content; • Constant workload, independent from product mix. • Responsible for off-line work ,or; • Responsible for variable operations (Mura); • Made up of fewer workers; • Made up of most skilled wokers (work load varies according to product mix).

  22. Many Muda of operator movement due to bad placement of containers; • No fixed location for containers; • Containers not prepared for frontal supply; • No 5 S. • All components at operator's arm reach; • Small containers and two bin system with frontal supply; • Empty bin exit place (2nd level); • 5 S. Waste Hole Waste Bin Workstation Design

  23. Design the lines based on the types, volumes and life cycle of the products 2. Design small in-line equipment that can be moved around easily 3. Take into account the takt time of the customers 4. Make a 1 piece flow in the processing order 5. Say “No” to MUDA of transport. Minimize use of conveyors 20 Principles of Layout and Line Design

  24. 12. Work should flow from right to left (anti clock wise) 6. Design set-up time with Zero as a target 7. No isolated operator islands should be allowed 8. Separate man work from machine work 9. Combine entrance and exit of work pieces 10. Equipment should have a narrow width 11. Put only necessary materials within arms length 20 Principles of Layout and Line Design

  25. 13. Karakuri: subtle maneuverability is important 14. Lower the speed as much as possible 15. Machines should stop when abnormality occurs 16. Mechanical approach preferred to electrical approach 17. Do not automate parts supply without careful study 18. Do not process several part simultaneously 19. Simulate new equipment before installation 20. Organize layout by process and keep walls free 20 Principles of Layout and Line Design
