Developing a novel based productivity model by investigating potential bounds of production plant: A case study.

Abstract

Productivity level is based on reliability impression which is the rudimentary aspect of automatic assembly line for continuous production. Productivity forecasting is a professional tool helping to enhance production system and attain the client petition by using precise model. Due to mechanisms complexity of assembly lines, analysis of failure factors contributes a significant role for investigating potential bounds that require analytial approach for comparison the current and proposed model of productivity effects. The issues related to production losses need additional space for improvement of productivity model which may not present a close comparison between the current and proposed model of productivity. Through this paper the development of a novel based productivity model is attempted to extant comparisons for availability of assembly line workspaces of an automobile tire manufacturing plant in Pakistan. For investigating the potential bounds of productivity losses, DMAIC and PACE techniques are used. It is verified that novel productivity model yielded better results of 3.358 % errors showing its accuracy as compared to real productivity level at different workspaces. Different rates of production losses followed by the workspaces blockage timing issues are effectively discussed with engineering maintainable explanation for productivity enhancement within the tire curing assembly line.

Management and Production Engineering Review

“…It can successfully consign manufacturers in pose to constructively influence the general bottom line which offers a true picture that highlight the decisions that could be taken or avoided [7]. Any production firm that gets the benefit of this model will always possess a much better knowledge of how they are forced by risks explicit to their exceptional production models [11]. Some time Monte Carlo simulation discloses such risk factors that would have taken decision-makers by disclosure, or exposes such opportunities that might left ignored [12].…”

Management and Production Engineering Review

“…During the last decade, most of the manufacturing units have shown a deep concern to improve their business standards in order to remain in the competitive marketplace and to maintain good productivity levels (Hussain & Jan, 2019;Meidan et al, 2017) based on reliability impression which is the primary aspect of the automatic assembly line for continuous production (Hussain, 2019a). An assembly line is defined as a flow-oriented production system used in mass production industries especially in the automotive industry (El Ahmadi et al, 2019), and it consists of many manual or automated workstations organized to perform a group of assembly tasks necessary to produce a final product which is generally a car or part of a car (wheel, seat, engine ...) in automotive assembly lines.…”

Management and Production Engineering Review

“…Needless to say, a rework operation is not equal to the higher rate productivity, even though this includes the value-adding time. On one hand, a higher rate of production means the involvement of extra manpower which yields high productivity [4]. On the other hand, over-processing does not necessarily mean a higher rate of productivity regarding the same amount of final product.…”
