PROCESS
REENGINEERING IN TUBULAR RADIATOR MANUFACTURING |
| Abstract
: |
|
The reengineering of a production line for household heating
tubular radiators is described assuming as a reference scenario the facility
of one of the leading Italian manufacturers. After a preliminary
characterization of products and manufacturing process, a thorough analysis
of the production system is carried out in order to highlight current
problems and improvement strategies in the light of lean manufacturing
concepts. Subsequently, some corrective actions are suggested and their
expected effectiveness is assessed also in economic terms. In particular,
improvement possibilities have been found in the areas of internal logistics
through streamlining of materials flow and layout modifications, as well as
process quality increase. Reengineering activities are especially aimed
towards layout optimization mainly by resorting to a U-shaped cell-based
architecture. Further, the reduction of rework percentage during the
assembly phase has been pursued by properly modifying the operations
sequence and through integration of a new automated testing station in the
production line.
