Suppose takt time of a product is 3.5 seconds and cycle time an operation is 14 seconds. Here I will explain how to calculate no of workstations from takt time and cycle time, for completing this operation so as to meet the customer demand. No of workstation = Cycle time / takt time = 14/3.5 […]

This article is applicable to every career in this world, not only the career of Industrial Engineers. Also please note that, this article is only for those who believes in God. In this article I am going to explain how to be successful in your career The only thing you should do to be successful
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
OEE is a measure of how well a planned production time of an equipment is utilized to produce good products. It can be measured from 0% to 100%. Its not only the equipment, effectiveness of achieving target number of good products, of all operations, whether it is manual, automatic or semiautomatic can be measured using
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
