Research On Improvement Project Decision Making Of Brose Electric Motor Co.,Ltd.

Brose Electric Motor Co., Ltd. is an automotive motor production-oriented enterprises, providing for window regulator motor, ABS motor, seat adjustment motors and engine cooling fan’s motors and other products. Lean production is an important work in Brose Group and lean production activities has been implemented with four years in Brose Electric Motor Co., Ltd. After the lean production has been carried out four year, the company faces some new problems, such as "Saving" begin to fall down, CIP Project items becoming less and less and difficult to implement. So how could the lean production work maintained become the big problem for company.In this paper, A401motor production line will be the example. We will looking for improvement projects and improve project decision-making in A401motor production line and using "value stream mapping" to find improvement projects and "House of Quality" tool to be the decision-making tool. Firstly draw the "value stream mapping" for A401motor production line currently status and find out the potential opportunities for improvement based on it; then use the "house of quality" tool for potential improvement projects decision. Through the use of these methods is summed up a system for improving the project’s "discovery","analysis" and "decision making" approach, and hope to provide a standard process for the future of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement activities.
