Effectiveness Improvement in Manufacturing Industry; Trilogy Study and Open Innovation Dynamics

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation is to compute overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in the small-scale industry. The novel approach is introduced to detect bottlenecks by which OEE can be improved. This study attempts to help small-medium enterprises in analyzing performance in a better way. The automotive industry was chosen for conducting the research. The present study is comprised of three phases. In the first phase, OEE was computed and compared with world-class manufacturing. The second phase included three-level of Pareto analysis followed by making fishbone diagram to mitigate the losses. The third phase conducted improved OEE in the industry. There are seven major losses present in the industry that adversely affect the effectiveness of machine in any industry. This approach can reduce these losses and improve the quality, asset utilization (AU), OEE, total effective equipment performance (TEEP) and productivity of the machine. The study exposes that Pareto analysis uncovers all the losses and works on the principle of 80/20 rule. The major losses were thoroughly explored with the help of the fishbone diagram and solutions were implemented at the shop floor. As a result, availability, performance, quality, OEE, AU, and TEPP show improvements by 4.6%, 8.06%, 6.66%, 16.23%, 4.16%, and 14.58%, respectively. The approach offers a good opportunity for both researchers and small-medium enterprises around the world to analyze the indicators of production losses, performance, and productivity in the manufacturing industry.

An Innovative Agile Model of Smart Lean–Green Approach for Sustainability Enhancement in Industry 4.0

“…These techniques were developed as tools of the lean approach. The literature review proves that the lean manufacturing approach has positively impacted production performance by eliminating sources of non-value-added activity, and it also reduces inventories and lead time [56,57].…”

Managing Risks in the Improved Model of Rolling Mill Loading: A Case Study

“…Organizations of all types and sizes face internal and external factors and impacts, which cause uncertainty. The goals of an enterprise may cover various aspects of its activities: from the strategy to the production of goods (Siferd and Smeltzer 1998;Tayal et al 2021), to process (Shojaei and Haeri 2019;Syreyshchikova et al 2020a) and project development (Verma and Sinha 2020). The influence of uncertainty on an organization's goals is a risk, in essence.…”

An Agile System to Enhance Productivity through a Modified Value Stream Mapping Approach in Industry 4.0: A Novel Approach

“…Table 8 shows the actions taken to improve the shop floor, while Table 9 shows the list of requirements for the different processes of the shop floor. By inspecting the production on the shop floor and analyzing the information gathered from many sources, it was found that some of the activities and processes involved in production are the cause of high PT, which need to be eliminated [47][48][49][50][51]. Table 8 shows the actions taken to improve the shop floor, while Table 9 shows the list of requirements for the different processes of the shop floor.…”
