Total Effective Equipment Performance – TEEP, is a measure of how well a machine is used to produce good products, for the whole available time. Its calculated by multiplying OEE with the utilization factor. Utilization factor = Planned production time / Available time. This calculation can be understood by the following example. TEEP can be […]
Line balancing is done to reduce or eliminate the waiting time in the workstations of an assembly line which runs in one piece flow. Thus we can utilize the resources such as manpower and machinery/equipment more effectively. Line balancing definition Line balancing is a method for eliminating idle time in assembly line and also for
Suppose the total standard time for the manufacturing of a product in man minutes is 8 (Please click the highlighted words for knowing more about it). And in a shift, the assembly line of this product produces 400 nos with manpower of 11 nos. Working time per shift per manpower is 420 minutes. Manpower efficiency
In this article I will explain how to calculate the machine hour rate you have saved by implementing some improvements in an operation of a machine. Suppose the present output of a machine is 120 per hour. And you have done some improvement in the operation of a machine and increased the hourly output to
Why Why Analysis is a method used for finding out the root cause of a problem or symptom. In this method a series of why questions are asked about the problem. And finally we will reach the root cause of the problem. Why Why Analysis is used for root cause analysis of a problem, which
In this article I will explain how to calculate standard output of an assembly line. Standard output is the no of products to be produced from an assembly line or operation, in a particular time period, if all operation in the assembly line completes at its respective standard time. For knowing about the standard time

Bottleneck is anything which will restrict the flow. In a manufacturing industry bottleneck will be an operation and flow means the flow of material or information. Watch Training Video at the end of this article. Also Download an excel template from the end of the article. Suppose there is an assembly line with 4 operations
In this article I will explain how to calculate the manpower cost you have saved by implementing some improvements in an operation. Suppose the present output of an operation is 120 per hour. One manpower is allocated for doing the operation. And you have done some improvement in the operation and increased the hourly output
I have an old laptop bag, which I am using it for last 6 years. This bag has three compartments one big compartment where I put my lap top and two other small compartments. The large compartment zip has two zipper for closing the compartment. Since the large compartment has two zipper it can be
Here I am going to share a tip that I have learned recently, may be I am too late to learn this. We can scroll the pages displayed in the laptop using touch pad, instead of mouse, arrow keys and scroll bars. For that we have to touch the touch pad with two fingers and
