Implementation of lean tools and techniques in production unit-4 where round tools are being manufactured. This implementation makes use of value stream mapping to identify the non value added activities in the current state of gun drills, a deep hole drilling tool. The process sequence is being identified along with cycle time, setup time and various timings associated with process. This is again segregated in to value added time and non value added time. Then the value addition percentage is being calculated in the current state. By adopting techniques like setup reduction the future state is been derived excluding the possible non value added activities. But the ultimate motto of the lean journey is to make single piece flow .The vision state is also being mapped and this may happen as a part of continuous improvement. As a part of implementation program two alternate fixtures are designed to accommodate all the varying diameters lug in to two categories i.e. 4to15 &15 to 28mm.

Abstract:

Implementation of lean tools and techniques in production unit-4 where round tools are being manufactured. This implementation makes use of value stream mapping to identify the non value added activities in the current state of gun drills, a deep hole drilling tool. The process sequence is being identified along with cycle time, setup time and various timings associated with process. This is again segregated in to value added time and non value added time. Then the value addition percentage is being calculated in the current state. By adopting techniques like setup reduction the future state is been derived excluding the possible non value added activities. But the ultimate motto of the lean journey is to make single piece flow .The vision state is also being mapped and this may happen as a part of continuous improvement. As a part of implementation program two alternate fixtures are designed to accommodate all the varying diameters lug in to two categories i.e. 4to15 &15 to 28mm.
