Case Study
The workstations and operating methods are designed for manual assemblies to be carried out by suppliers, improving the productivity of these assemblies by 23% compared to the initial situation.
Initial situation
Need to unify and optimize procedures, methods, times and SOS (Standard Operating Sheet) pertaining to certain assemblies to be outsourced.
Intervention general plan
- Analysis and improvement of the working methods of the assemblies under study.
- Establishment of correct work times through timekeeping.
Actions
- Video filming of the assemblies under study.
- Methods-time-studies, by means of timekeeping.
- Determination of the corresponding correct working times.
- Proposal of improvements (means, layout, method, etc.).
- Quantification of the potential for productivity improvements that can be achieved.
- Definition of a new and more complete design of the SOS (Standard Operating Sheet).
Goals
Improvement of the productivity of the assemblies under study and standardization of the documentation by 20%.
Results
- Standardized design of work stations.
- Definition of the SOS (Standard Operation Sheet) format, which allows the standardization of work methods.
