"Production model to increase productivity and delivery compliance in the peruvian textile sector by applying value stream mapping, 5s and flexible production systems." Springer, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/10757/656024.
Full textThe Peruvian textile industry is a highly competitive market and is one of the main economic engines of the country. The sector provides more than 463 thousand jobs and represents 7.4% of the GDP. Most of the companies, mostly family businesses, do not have enough knowledge to implement a management model according to productivity standards and expected level of service. This article proposes a production model for the clothing industry based on Lean management, combining SIPOC, VSM, 5S techniques and a production system to increase profitability in the short term and make it sustainable in time. The model is validated by a case study in a representative company of the sector. The proposed activities were monitored through the study of work indicators, in which the results indicate an increase in productivity by 59% and the fulfillment by 48%.

Johnson & Johnson Vision (JJV), manufacturer of the ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses, is committed to launching new contact lens products every year to maintain competitive edge and long-term relevancy. However, manufacturing lines currently operate at high utilization rates to satisfy steadily growing demand, limiting opportunity to beta test new products or validate manufacturing lines. Beta testing provides feedback on product design and manufacturability while validation qualifies a line to make a particular product at commercial scale - contributing to the more than 5 billion contact lenses produced by JJV yearly. To build manufacturing capacity and introduce flexibility into the system, JJV built the Flexible Manufacturing Platform (FMP). FMP is a modular manufacturing line capable of producing any contact lens in the JJV portfolio. This thesis explores how to strategically leverage FMP to enable quicker transitions from pilot-line production to commercial-scale production.
A case study was performed on the FMP heat seal manufacturing process step, providing insight into both the technical capability and organizational processes of FMP. The heat seal was chosen due to its critical importance in maintaining product quality and patient safety. Prior to the start of this project, the heat seal process step lacked consistency and reliability. Statistical process control techniques were employed to generate a heat seal capability model that measured the effect of changing the contact time, contact temperature, and contact pressure. This revealed contact time and contact temperature to have the most influence on heat seal integrity. The capability model ultimately improved decision quality and reduced product failures by 80%. Successful execution of the case study also required observation of upstream and downstream process steps to the heat seal, yielding a thorough understanding of the entire FMP line.
This FMP current state analysis shows the remaining work needed to efficiently scale between pilot-line production and commercial-scale production. As such, there is a need for continuous knowledge transfer between the R&D and Operations teams as they develop new governance processes to merge into a single domain. In doing so, FMP can become an efficient structure to continuously launch new products.

Without objectively measuring the process of innovation, one cannot ensure whether the research and development expenses serve the right benefit. In order to be successful in generating revenue it is imperative for research and development functions to assume a broader view in developing technology for new products. Planning for the right product platform and family should not be limited to only market application for derivative products but also planning for successive generations of product platforms and derivative products. This topic explores a method documented in literature from a variety of industries ranging from power tools to medical devices by using the correct metrics to make the right level of business and product architecture decisions. The method includes defining metrics for Effectiveness, which is a measure of product success in the market place, and Efficiency, a measure of successful utilization of the corporation's product development resources. The utilization of the proposed method was applied to four product families, which include twelve different products over two release cycles in the Diesel Power Systems industry. The metrics were analyzed in combination and further guidance on the usage of metrics was developed. When applied appropriately, the metrics can help product planners and product line architects to manage and assess the right level of technology integration from past and present product platforms. The use of Efficiency and Effectiveness metrics allows business leaders to better assess their product planning strategies on a continuous basis. It also allows for a better understanding of how historical decisions impacted the outcome of past product architecture with clarity. However, having measures in place isn't sufficient, this work explores the need for a better communication and alignment of business process between Research and Engineering and sub-business units to better develop the right technology integration and maturation of future products.

The transfer of information between the drug product development and manufacturing organizations is fundamental to drug product commercialization. This information is used to characterize the product-process interaction and ensure manufacturability, and to set operating ranges at fill/finish sites. Amgen has successfully commercialized drug products for years, yet opportunities exist to improve the efficiency of process development and technology transfer, and to better align the equipment, procedures, and data collection of the groups involved in these activities. We identify improvement opportunities and develop a strategic approach, which we term the "Pilot Plant Cooperative," to enable more efficient and effective commercialization. The benefits of this strategy are assessed in three case studies: (1) a capital investment project for new laboratory filling equipment, (2) enhanced data generation in clinical manufacturing, and (3) efficiency improvements in early-stage process development studies. Based on these studies, we make specific recommendations for future work. We make additional procedural and cultural recommendations, including revising capital investment processes and implementing alignment-focused incentives and hiring practices, to ensure widespread alignment is achieved and maintained.

Incorporating flexibility into business processes can provide organizations with increased agility to respond to uncertainty within complex product development projects spanning across many years and many organizations. Current methods used for determining value in order to justify associated costs for implementing and maintaining process flexibility are not sufficient in capturing the full worth of flexibilities within processes. A framework is developed which builds upon on prior research to assess value of flexibility within product development processes, combining benefits of rigid constraints with flexible options. Valuation of a simple potential flexibility within an aircraft development project is used to demonstrate the use of the framework in practice and to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the framework. The method of valuation provides benefit of capturing hidden value that would otherwise be ignored or left on the table and provides further insight into the behavior of the process flexibility in a manner which leads to optimization of that flexibility. However, adoption of the framework is hindered by the skillset required in practice along with the inherent inability to demonstrate its full value, as measured by actual performance.

Cisco Systems, Inc. (Cisco) has recently adopted Six Sigma as the main platform to drive quality improvements in its manufacturing operations. A key component of the improvement strategy is the ability to define appropriate manufacturing yield goals. Cisco's manufacturing operations can be divided, at a very high level, in two major steps: Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) and System Assembly and Test. The company has already deployed a global yield goal definition methodology for the PCBA operation, but the creation of a similar methodology for the System Assembly and Test operation proved difficult: Cisco lacked a universal methodology to determine the expected variation on manufacturing performance resulting from differences on product design and manufacturing processes attributes. This thesis addresses this gap by demonstrating a methodology to relate relevant design and process attributes to the System Assembly and Test manufacturing yield performance of all products. The methodology uses statistical analysis, in particular Artificial Neural Networks, to generate a yield prediction model that achieves excellent prediction accuracy (4.8% RMS error). Although this study was performed using Cisco Systems' product and manufacturing data, the general process outlined in this exercise should be applicable to solve similar problems in other companies and industries. The core components of the methodology outlined can be easily reproduced: 1) identify the key complexity attributes, 2) design and execute a data collection plan and 3) generate statistical models to test the validity and impact of the selected factors.

inappropriate. Results also indicated the possibility that
row and column descriptions of the current "product-process

Online retail has radically changed traditional supply chain operations by providing a direct-to-consumer model that eliminates the need for traditional brick-and-mortar retail stores. With this new order, retailers have had to design warehouse solutions that fit the changing operational requirements of online retail. Over the last several years, Amazon.com has become a market leader, capturing almost 8% of all online retail sales in 2005. As Amazon grows in size and scope it is faced with unique challenges in warehouse system design and strategy. A significant portion of Amazon's total fulfillment cost is in the "picking" process which is where associates pick items to fulfill customer orders. Picking costs are directly influenced by the upstream stowing process which determines where to physically store Amazon's retail items. Currently, Amazon's fulfillment centers stow inventory according to "profiling" rules which direct inventory to various locations in the warehouse in order to optimize the space utilization of the facility. However, these profiling rules do not account for the impact of the stowing decisions on the cost to pick and replenish products downstream.
(cont.) While facility space reaches capacity during peak season, the fulfillment centers are well below their physical space capacity the remainder of the year. Due to the cyclical nature of customer demand at Amazon, the current profiling strategy of optimizing space utilization may be sub-optimal during the low demand periods when space capacity is not a constraint. This thesis will test this hypothesis by exploring alternative product placement strategies for Amazon's fulfillment centers.

Cisco's current process for developing and maintaining product-level bills of materials (BOMs) has resulted in inconsistencies in BOM structure leading to product launch delays, increased product support costs, and lower customer satisfaction. Furthermore the complexity of having a large number of different, in effect customized, product solutions for its customers makes it difficult for Cisco's supply chain operations group to drive standardized methods across the over 50 business units. For Cisco's supply chain to operate most efficiently, all Cisco Business Units (BUs) must accurately structure and manage their product-level BOMs. The purpose of this thesis research is to document the as-is BOM structuring and management process, assess the issues inherent with the process today, and develop a new process that will drive standardization across the company and address the inconsistencies in BOM structure that are seen in Cisco today. The thesis work will be divided into three major sections; measure, analyze and improve. First, we will examine four business units (BUs) within Cisco Systems, Inc., which represent the varying complexities of their overall business segments. These example BUs will be studied to look at the impact of the current non-standardized process for developing the product-level BOM structure. Secondly, we will analyze this current process and show its impact on the overall enterprise, focusing on the key stakeholders involved with BOM development.
(cont.) Finally, with these research findings, we will develop a new product-level BOM development methodology. This new methodology will be a criteria-based approach utilizing workflows to organize the process. The new process developed will become the foundation for continuous improvement in BOM development at Cisco Systems, Inc.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 63).
This thesis describes a project that applies the Design Structure Matrix (DSM) in support of the Manufacturing Excellence (MX) program at Cisco Systems, Inc to reduce the cycle time of new product development initiatives (NPI). Because they are inherently iterative with interdependent tasks, NPIs are difficult to manage. Two case studies applying the DSM were performed and used to study the inputs and outputs of the process as well as the dependencies between the process steps. Both case studies indicated that defining product requirements and needs upfront helped to eliminate rework later on in the process. The DSMs also showed that cycle time and standard deviation of cycle time were especially sensitive to interactions between changes in the Bill of Materials (BOM) and other tasks. In fact there was a "tipping point" where reducing the dependency between tasks could yield significant reductions in cycle time and standard deviation of cycle time. More significantly, the case studies highlighted the large number of stakeholders involved in the process and revealed the degree to which engineering and manufacturing must work together to reduce NPI cycle times.
(cont.) In fact, the name "Manufacturing Excellence Initiative in NPI" is a misnomer. New Product Introduction is not just the job of manufacturing but is highly integrated between such groups as marketing, design, and engineering. If the Mx Initiative in NPI is to fully meet its potential, all of these groups must fully realize this. In addition, there is a need for process infrastructure, data infrastructure, and close examination of incentives. This thesis thus shows that in order for Cisco's process improvement initiatives to succeed, buy-in from all relevant stakeholders must be won.

Global Automotive, a large US based, global manufacturer of automobiles, has made significant gains in manufacturing competitiveness, in part through application of a lean manufacturing approach to high volume assembly. A similar approach applied to product development can result in significant improvements in product design throughput, speed, cost, design quality, and innovation. With major product programs taking in excess of 36 months and a billion dollars to complete, the potential impact of process improvements is substantial. This thesis examines elements of Global Automotive Product Development Process. Some general guiding principles for Lean product development are also reviewed from the existing literature. Special attention is given to metrics for measuring product development performance at Global Automotive. The thesis focuses on the role of peer reviews in the development process. The analysis is performed using a work order data set for two automotive development programs. Score cards from Peer Review and a survey of the component engineering community are also used to assess the effectiveness and current state of the peer review process. The study found evidence that high scores on peer reviews do not guarantee that late changes will occur, if anything component groups with average lower scoring peer reviews generated led to consistent levels of late stage changes. The objective of peer reviews should clearly be to find as many problems as possible and participants should be encouraged to delivery "low scoring" reviews. Keywords: Product Development, Lean, Peer Reviews, Design Defects.

Full textIdag bedriver företag komplexa försörjningskedjor med många relaterade produk- tionssteg för att försörja sin efterfrågan. Dilemmat är att antingen ha stora lager för att säkerställa både snabb kundleverans och hög kundnöjdhet vilket kräver mycket bundet kapital. Alternativet är att spara pengar genom mindre lager men riskerar då att inte kunna leverera inom önskad tid och minska kundnöjdheten. Att hitta en balans är svårt. För att lösa problemet har forskning inom området lager- styrning ökat. Optimeringsmodeller har länge utvecklats för att förbättra försör- jningskedjor. De har inte kunnat appliceras i många företag p.g.a. avsaknaden av beräkningskraft och behovet att förändra organisationen utöver optimeringen. Det förklarar varför många företag, trots teknisk utveckling, fortfarande inte an- vänder ett helhetsperspektiv. Denna uppsats utvärderar de påtagliga effekterna vid holistisk optimering av produktion, lagerhållning, och kundleverans. Målet med uppsatsen är att fastställa optimala lagernivåer mellan de olika stegen inom en produktionskedja. Metoden som används är ”Multi-Echelon” op- timering och härstammar från området ”Inventory Control Theories”. Det är en blandning av logistik, ekonomi, och administration. Lageroptimering är ett ämne i konstant utveckling där kundnöjdhet blivit allt viktigare. Modellen optimerar när en ny beställning av material ska ske, samt dess storlek. Modellen utvärderas genom att jämföra prestationen med en ”Single-Echelon” modell och en grund- modell genom diskret händelsesimulering som är baserad på ett företags försör- jningskedja. Resultaten visar att ”Multi-Echelon” optimeringsmodellen presterar bättre än de två icke-holistiska modellerna vad gäller totalkostnad och kundser- vicenivå. Uppsatsen visar att ”Multi-Echelon” optimeringsmodellen har fördelar inom alla tre områdena: smidigare produktion genom mindre spill, mindre bun- det kapital krävs, och den ger en ökad kundnöjdhet genom säkrare leveranser inom ”rätt” tid. Andra områden inom tillverkningsindustrin borde kunna ap- plicera ”Multi-Echelon” optimering för att hantera sina lagernivåer, produktion, leveransflöden, och kundnöjdhet.

Full textForskningen i denna rapport syftar till att utveckla en högflexibel geometristation för fogning avkommande Body-in-White-karosser (BiW). Målet är att eliminera behovet av en fullständigrekonstruktion av en produktionslinje under integrering av nya bilar i en samtida produktion.Dagens BiW-produktion sker i sekventiella liner, där fogningsutrustning är arrangerad i enspecifik ordning för respektive modellgeometri. Ett ökande antal modellalternativ drivertillverkare till att utveckla produktionskoncept som möjliggör integration av nya modeller.Elektrificerande alternativ till befintliga modeller utvecklas kontinuerligt. Dessa modeller ärutseendemässigt lika de konventionella modellerna, men med en helt annan princip för drivlina.Det innebär att nya gränssnitt och plattformar har tagits fram och måste nu integreras i ennuvarande produktion. Dagens produktionslinjer är inte förberedda för kommande förändringaroch nuvarande geometristationer kan endast hantera ett begränsat antal karosstyper. Integrationav nya karosstyper i en befintlig produktionslinje är inte är tillräckligt effektivt ur ettproduktionsperspektiv. Framtidens mål är att göra en sådan integration möjlig.Inledningsvis studerades nuvarande- och kommande produktionsscenarion. Utifrån det beskrevsfyra produktionstyper, vilket en högflexibel geometristation kan komma att integreras i. Enintegration kan ske på olika vis beroende på hur en högflexibel geometristation tillämpas, därförjämfördes olika fall av det i en Case-studie. En intern och extern benchmarking avproduktionssystem gjordes för att jämföra de lösningar som finns för att öka flexibiliteten i enBiW-produktion.Som referensunderlag till projektet har ett koncept för en högflexibel geometristation tagits framoch är beskrivet inledningsvis innan en ytterligare fördjupning har realiserats.Konceptualiseringen av en högflexibel geometristation i denna rapport är presenterad i form aven morfologisk sammansättning av teknologier som kan öka en stations flexibilitet, samtvisualisering av en principiell station genom layouter och cykeltidsdiagram. Resultatet av analysengenererade flera koncept som innehar olika grad av kapacitet, fabriksyta och flexibilitet. Fokus varatt uppnå en hög flexibilitetsnivå för integration av nya modeller, med nya geometrier, i ennuvarande produktion. Slutsatsen var att den högflexibla geometristationen kan, i en nutidaproduktion, producera självständigt i låga volymer. Alternativt producera högre volymer då denintegreras som ett komplement till ett ännu inte implementerat nytt produktionskoncept.
Die Forschung in diesem Bericht zielt darauf ab, eine hochflexible Geometrie-Station für das Fügen zukünftiger Rohbau-Baugruppen zu entwickeln. Das Ziel ist es, die Notwendigkeit einer vollständigen Rekonstruktion einer Produktionslinie während der Integration neuer Karosserien in einer modernen Produktion zu beseitigen. Die heutige Rohbau Produktion wird in sequenziellen Linien durchgeführt, wobei die einzelnen Fügeverfahren in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge, angepasst an die jeweilige Modellgeometrie, angeordnet sind. Ein zunehmendes Modellportfolio zwingt die Automobilhersteller zur Entwicklung von Produktionssystemen, die eine Integration neuer Modelle ermöglichen. Elektrifizierte Varianten bestehender Fahrzeugmodelle werden nun entwickelt und in Produktion gebracht. Diese Modelle haben ein ähnliches Erscheinungsbild wie herkömmliche Modelle, jedoch mit einem stark veränderten Antriebskonzept. Dies bedeutet, dass neue Schnittstellen und Plattformen entwickelt wurden und nun in eine aktuelle Produktion integriert werden müssen. Heutige Produktionslinien sind nicht auf kommende Änderungen vorbereitet und können nur eine begrenzte Anzahl von Varianten handhaben. Die Integration neuer Geometrien in eine moderne Produktionslinie ist aus Produktionssicht nicht effizient, aber soll in Zukunft das Ziel sein. Zunächst wurden aktuelle und zukünftige Produktionsszenarien untersucht. Darauf aufbauend wurden vier Arten von Produktionsszenarien erarbeitet, in die eine hochflexible Geometriestation integriert werden kann. Je nach Aufbau der Geostation kann eine Integration auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise erfolgen. Daher wurden in einer Fallstudie unterschiedliche Fälle erstellt und verglichen. Ein Benchmarking mit internen und externen Produktionssystemen wurde durchgeführt, um eine größtmöglichste Flexibilität der Stationen in einer Rohbau Produktion zu erzielen. Als Referenz für das Projekt wurde ein Konzept für eine hochflexible Geometriestation entwickelt und im Rahmen der Thesis dokumentiert, bevor eine zusätzliche Tiefe realisiert wurde. Die weitere Konzeptionierung einer hochflexiblen Geometrie-Station wird in Form einer morphologischen Zusammensetzung von Technologien präsentiert. Dieser kann die Flexibilität einer Station erhöhen und zudem die Visualisierung von Stationsprinzipien, beispielsweise durch Layouts oder Zykluszeitdiagramme, fördern. Das Ergebnis der Analyse erzeugte mehrere vi Konzepte, die unterschiedliche Grade an Kapazität, Grundfläche und Flexibilität beinhalteten. Der Fokus lag auf einer hohen Flexibilität bei der Integration neuer Modelle mit neuen Geometrien in einer aktuellen Produktion. Die Schlussfolgerung war, dass die hochflexible Geometriestation in einer zeitgemäßen Produktion in kleinen Stückzahlen produzieren kann. Alternativ ist die Geo-Station auch als Bestandteil eines noch umzusetzenden Produktionskonzepts integrierbar.

Resumo: Atualmente o aumento da competitividade industrial e da concorrência, está gerando uma busca constante de produtos inovadores e de baixo custo. Alguns seguimentos industriais também tem sentido o poder das 'commodities', onde grande parte dos custos envolvidos nos processos, principalmente matérias-primas, não são de controle da empresa dificultando e reduzindo a sua margem de atuação frente a concorrência. Existem diversas técnicas administrativas que demonstram excelentes resultados com as suas implementações, como a Teoria das Restrições (TOC), Manufatura Enxuta, Manufatura Agil, etc e estes sistemas podem ser tratados de forma integrada e comparativa (Godinho Fº e Fernandes, 2005). O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a aplicação destas ferramentas em uma empresa com regime de produção semi-contínuo de condutores elétricos, analisando os resultados das implementações realizadas através de métricas aplicadas ao setor. A Empresa estudada é uma empresa multinacional do ramo Eletroeletrônico, mais especificamente Condutores Elétricos, que atua principalmente no segmento de Energia e a linha de produtos selecionada para este estudo foi a de cabos flexíveis. Realizou-se o levantamento do fluxo de valor da empresa adotando a metodologia da Manufatura Enxuta e avaliou-se o impacto de cada fase do processo em relação ao processo como um todo, através deste levantamento determinou-se o ponto de restrição do sistema, e a partir daí foram definidas algumas ações de controle, como kanban, supermercado de peças e planos de manutenção preventiva nos equipamentos. Como resultado atingiu-se um incremento de 100% de capacidade de fabricação de cabos flexíveis com um aumento de produtividade na ordem de 90%, uma redução do nível de inventário de 33% e uma melhoria de qualidade com a redução de 20% no nível de ppm?s gerados por falhas. Outro fator importante foi a redução no tempo de dimensionamento e implementação dos novos processos com o auxílio da Simulação por computador. Foi possível observar que é viável o uso conjunto da TOC e da Manufatura Enxuta comprovando a aplicabilidade destas teorias em um processo de fabricação de condutores elétricos
Abstract: The increasing degree of industrial competitivity and competition has been generating recently a constant search for innovative and low-cost products. Some industrial segments have also been affected by the power of 'commodities', in relation to which a significant part of process-related costs, chiefly raw-materials, are not controlled by the enterprise, something that makes difficult and reduces its margins for maneuver before competition. There are several managing techniques that present optimum implementation results, as is the case of the Theory of Constraints - TOC), Lean Manufacturing and Agile Manufacture, systems that can be approached in a integrated and comparative way (Godinho Fº e Fernandes, 2005). This work aims to evaluate the application of these tools in a company producing electric conductors in a semi-continuous production regime by means of the evaluation the results of implementations introduced by metrics applied to the sector. The Enterprise studied is an Electronics multinational that produces electrical conductors, chiefly for the Power segment, and we selected for this study the production of flexible cables. The value flow of the company was evaluated adopting the "Lean Manufacture" philosophy and we examined the impact of each phase of the process in relation to the process as a whole. This survey allowed determining the system?s point of restriction, and the identification of the system?s restrictions allowed to define some controlling actions, like kanban, parts supermarket and preventive equipment-maintenance plans. As a result, an increment of 100% in manufacture capacity of flexible cables was reached, with an increase in productivity of 90%, a reduction in the level of inventory of 33% and a quality improvement with the reduction of 20% in the level of failure-induced PPMs. Another important factor was the reduction in the time of dimensioning and implementation of the new processes with the help of computer-based simulation. The work showed the joint use of TOC and Lean Manufacturing to be possible, proving these theories to be applicable to a manufacturing process of electric cables production
