| Abstract [eng] |
The main objective of this Research is to analyze the Liquid filling process in a manufacturing company. By analyzing the process and by perfomring several calculations the main wastes in the process were identified. The wastes were identified by plotting a Value stream map of the packaging line and the map was plotted with the help of the obtained calculation results.The main waste which contributed much was the “Excess Changeover Time”. So in order to reduce the changeover time a new “PLC Ladder Logic program” was written for the machine and it was executed using the software. And hence the changeover time was reduced to negligible value. By the usage of this new program there will be reduction of Changeover time which helps to increase the production of the company. Excess demand which usually arises in the summer can easily be met with this update in the program. Adding to this the Overall Equipment Effectiveness value was also increased. After the reduction of changeover time a new line balancing solution was proposed. In the later chapters of the project “Pareto Analysis” involving the losses was made. Main losses which contributed to the breakdown were identified. A TPM plan was designed keeping in mind the losses and the ways of improvement. Using the 8 main pillars the losses were associated and required plans were put up which would help decrease the losses and breakdowns. Finally a TPM master plan was designed. |
