INVESTIGATIVE REPORT ON WORKSTATION STABILITY AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT MAPPING TECHNIQUE TO REDUCE ANUFACTURING WASTE

In today's world everyone wants to establish and use a process that is 100% efficient but due to some or the other reason they are not able to do so. Practically it is not possible to achieve 100% efficiency because there is something which is lost in any process which is commonly known as Waste. Waste reduces the efficiency of the process and also requires special equipment to handle it. What the industries need to focus on is how to shorten the time between the customer order, the product build and shipment by addressing sources of waste. Workstation Stability and Continuous Improvement Mapping is one of the techniques aimed at reducing manufacturing waste where several parameters are identified in an industry and evaluation is done on a monthly basis and compared with the predetermined standards to identify the scope of improvement to increase the efficiency and reduce waste.
