Standardized work for operators and estimation <strong>of</strong> number <strong>of</strong> operators<br />

Standardization <strong>of</strong> operations helps in the elimination <strong>of</strong> variability in the work. With this method each operator is<br />

doing the same amount <strong>of</strong> the work in a line leads better line balancing. The standard loading and un-loading<br />

procedures for the operators at OIB Axle Housing cell is provided.<br />

Number <strong>of</strong> operators required to meet the customer Takt time is determined as follows;<br />

Number <strong>of</strong> operators =<br />

Total work content in the cell is sum <strong>of</strong> the cycle time at each machine (Table 1) is 3453.5<br />

secondsandcustomertakt time for OIB Axle Housing Components is 699 seconds<br />

Number <strong>of</strong> operators = = 5 operators<br />

3.4 Line Balancing for IDB Axle Housing<br />

At IDB Axle Housing line machining work is carried out for three types <strong>of</strong> casting components. First operation for<br />

three casting components performed in three Horizontal Machining Centres (HMC A81) and second operation is<br />

performed in one machine <strong>of</strong> Horizontal Machining Centre (HMCA51). In order to scale the cycle time <strong>of</strong> each<br />

machine to the customer takt time, machining operations are equally divided in to three machines <strong>of</strong> Horizontal<br />

Machining CentresA81. The operations divided to the each machine are discussed here below.<br />

Horizontal Machining Centre [HMC A81/1]<br />

Seven machining operations are carriedout at this machine namely; Dia 80 Rough milling, Dia 80 Shell mill , Dia 25<br />

end mill, Dia 63 fine milling cutter, Dia 32 finish end mill, Dia 298.5 rough boring bar and Dia 298.5 s/f boring<br />

operations. Time taken to perform these operations in HMC A81/1 machine is given in the Table 2.<br />

Horizontal Machining Centre [HMC A81/2]<br />

Nine machining operations are carriedout at this machine namely;Dia 40 milling ,Dia 32 3-lip end mill, Dia 25 L<br />

end mill, 65 & 71.5 rough boring bar, Dia 95 & 107 rough boring bar, Dia 72 chf, 99.75,112.1 chf , Dia 72 Fine<br />

boring, Dia 112.6 fine boring and Dia 250 mill cutter. Time taken to perform these operations in HMCA81/2<br />

machine is approximately equal to the customer takt time <strong>of</strong> 638 sec.<br />

Horizontal Machining Centre [HMC A81/3]<br />

Total 13 machining operations are done on this machine namely;Dia 13.5 drilling, Dia 10.5 drilling, Dia 6.8 drilling,<br />

Dia 28 drilling, Dia 26.5 U- drilling, Dia 31.3 rough boring, Dia 31.9 fine boring, Dia 27 rough milling, Dia 28.8<br />

rough milling, m12*1.5 taping, m8*1.25 taping, Dia 125 back facing milling and Dia32-42 chamfer. Time taken to<br />

carry out these machining operations is also given in the Table 2.<br />

Horizontal Machining Centre [HMC A51]<br />

Milling operations are performed in this machine and time taken to complete the machining operations in HMC<br />

A51 is 8 minutes. At the end <strong>of</strong> machining operations process inspection is performed on the component and time<br />

taken for inspection is 147 seconds. Fig 3 shows the line balancing chart for IDB axle housing.<br />

Standardized work for operators and estimation <strong>of</strong> number <strong>of</strong> operators<br />

Standardizing the workers movements in the cell can eliminates the variability in the process. For the purpose <strong>of</strong><br />

loading and unloading <strong>of</strong> the components standard operating procedures are provided to the each operator working<br />

at IDB Axle Housing line.<br />

Number <strong>of</strong> operators required to meet the customer takttime;<br />

Number <strong>of</strong> operators =<br />

Total work content= 608.4+636.6+627+480= 2351 seconds and customer takt time for OIB Axle Housing<br />

Components is 699 seconds<br />

Number <strong>of</strong> operators =<br />

=3.6 operators<br />

= 4 operators<br />
