hello satish,

1) is your data consistent, when you do the process mapping how many times did you repeat the data.
2)how many operators refill the bins
3) is that taking avg 10mins
4)how can we avoid having d/time of every 2 hrs.

Hello Satish,

The takt time is 72 sec.

Based on the information, this is a manual operation with 15 operators, Am I right?

If it is the case then balance the work load on each operation i.e., give more work to an operator who is working less than 72 sec and reduce the worklaod from operator who is working more than 72 sec.

By doing that you will be able to meet the customer demand as well as able to run the job with 5 operators, 1 inspector due to current change in a process and a supervisor (total 7 employees at the beginning of the change then later on with 6 employees with supervsior).

Hope this will help you.

Hi Satish,

This might be a bit premature for me to comment , I believe, since you are yet to come out with Part 2 of your approach to address the problem. I would like to share some of my findings.
At a rate of 400 pcs per 8 hr shift you end up with a takt time of 72 secs per finished vent assly but where as presently you are clocking somewhere @ 85 secs.
I see by the cycle time details that oprn "M" itself is having 85 secs as operation time. So this is the bottleneck resource.
You can have a look at this aspect & prune accordingly.

Best regards
