Designing modern
ENGINE ASSEMBLY
For Automobile Manufacturer in India
Hello!
Transforming Workfloors Team presents you with the case study on the successful transformation of the engineering assembly area!
A leading automobile giant in India wanted to have new assembly lines for 12 of its BS-6 engines.
They needed advanced assembly with a scientific approach that can overcome all the issues they have been facing with their existing assembly line.
This dossier covers the step-wise execution of the project.
Following are some of the glimpse of their earlier assembly line!
STEP 1 - Applicative Analysis
Following are the obvious observations
-
Material to be loaded is a heavy-duty
-
Storage utility has to be designed with closed doors
-
Storage utility is needed to be segregated weight wise and horizontal mapping for its storage is needed to be done
-
Impact load is needed to be considered while designing a system
-
Safety factor while considering load-bearing capacity is needed to be considered higher than usual standards.
-
Floor mats are needed to be considered keeping the number of hours the operator spends time on the engine.
STEP - 2 - Layouting
Following is the rough layout we initiated with for 12 cells, 6 on each floor
