1.1 Problem Summary and Introduction
Raj Engineering’s range of products include industrial machine and spare parts, pump spares, surface grinding machine parts, broaching tools, industrial impellers, gauge exporter in India, plain ring manufacturer, electric and textile spare parts. One of the job work included manufacturing of primary flange for Inspiron engineering.
The above figure shows the primary flange that is used in the project.
The total process time it requires to manufacture a single primary flange was 43 mins. It was more back-breaking and painful for labor to clamp the job six times to finally fixate the job on work table.
This project deals with reduction in excessive wastage of time consumed …show more content…
Therefore, process time for each operation is calculated by taking average of 6 days. A detailed report of cycle time is formed giving an idea of how much time is taken by each process. This ultimately frames to be our aim of reducing the time and hence, productivity is increased.
For that a simplified device such as fixture is designed. It essentially works as working holding device which helps in clamping of workpiece in such a manner that unnecessary clamping of nuts and bolts onto the any other working-holding device is eliminated. Thereby, a considerable amount of time in each process is saved.
This ultimately not only increases the productivity but also labor fatigue also gets reduced by considerable amount. So even it benefits the workers as well.
This new design of fixture is implemented and subsequent time is recorded. A drop-in time taken indicates the efficiency as well as productivity is increased.
