Optimization of the vibration cell

Abstract

The aim of this project is to optimize the processes that take place in the Vibration Cell. By applying lean manufacturing techniques to produce lighting products with similar manufacturing processes, the factory expects to reduce rejection, cycle times and costs and improve quality and throughput. This project outlines a method for assessing, designing and implementing lean manufacturing techniques. The object of study and improvement is the Vibration Cell that produces automotive lighting systems for commercial customers in the Chakan plant of Rinder India Pvt. Ltd. All products that are produced in the cell have in common vibration welding and annealing, followed by assembly, testing and packaging processes.
