The master thesis deals with the productivity improvement of Air Conditioner components assembly line. The current process is done by manual movement for moving Air Conditioner assembly which is holding fixture in assembly line. This results in using more man power and considerable amount of time consumption by means of pulling the fixture from one stage to another stage for the process. The main aim of the project is to improve the productivity by fixing an automated conveyor system which enables us to improve productivity. This will also help to plan the production line depending upon the availability of the resources and material as the conveyor is equipped with variable speed system which will help to meet the demand requirement. The worthiness of initial capital investment on redesigning the current conveyor system by providing an attachment of chain conveyor with the current roller type conveyor in the shop floor has been discussed. A case study close to reality has been presented by performing calculation with real time values. The overall productivity of the plant is affected by various factors like man power and inventory supply at various stages of production. The effect of such type of factors has been studied and discussed. On the whole it was found that productivity after the implementation of automated conveyor system was impacted with a 10% higher than the productivity achieved over manual conveyor system. |
