Studies Of Process Improvement, Layout And Value Stream In Structural Parts Factory

Many problems have been found in the production line based on an analysis of the course of structural components production. A study about the line is done from logistics, information flow, and human factors by using traditional production circuit analysis to achieve the comprehensive improvement towards technology process. Based on the modern value-stream analysis, the present problems in structural component productions are studied intuitively. Structural parts of the production line are improved continuously, which makes the line finer and more efficient.This paper focuses on layout improvements and working state re-divisions, which improve the overall layout of the production line all-roundly, shorten the production line handling time, increase the equilibrium rate of the entire production line, reduce the accumulation of semi-finished products in the line as possible, and achieve the purpose of the stream producing. Finally, status of the entire plant's production is changed fundamentally.According to the fine and efficient thought, the production line material flow and information flow are entirely mapped on the value stream, so that the production of waste is presented visually. This reduces the transmission path, improves transfer efficiency, and completely depicts the system production process.These study results that the proportion of working time of the effective structural parts production line is improved significantly, useless walking is reduced obviously, and the production efficiency, productivity and quality of structural components are enhanced greatly.
