The aim of the project is to increase the flexibility and productivity in an ETU (Elementary Technology Unit) of Mechanical Subgroups in a part of the FGA’s assembling process in the Cassino Plant through the conventional Plan-Do-Check-Act approach using the WCM methodology:
- PLAN - Costs Analysis and Losses Analysis starting from Cost Deployment (CD) for the manufacturing process using the items and tools of Workplace Organization (WO) and for the handling process the Logistic and Customer Services (LOG) applications.
- DO - Analysis of the non-value-added Activities; analysis of re-balancing line and analysis of re-balancing of work activities in accordance with the analysis of the logistics flows using the material matrix and the flows matrix. Study and realization of prototypes to improve workstation ergonomics and to ensure minimum material handling; Application of countermeasures found in the production process and logistics (handling).
- CHECK - Analysis of results in order to verify productivity improvement, ergonomic improvement (WO) and the optimization of the internal handling (in the plant) and external logistics flows (LOG). Check of the losses reduction according to Cost Deployment (CD).
- ACT - Extension of the methodology and other cases.
Here below is a description of the Statement of the Problem and methodology.
