Process Improvement - Productivity Analysis and Productivity Engineering.

Industrial engineer analyzes each process into its ultimate, simple elements, and compares each of these simplest steps or processes with an ideal or perfect condition and modifies the element appropriately. - F.W. Taylor - Hugo Diemer.

Machine Productivity Analysis is part of facilities industrial engineering and process industrial engineering.

Question the choice of the machine for the operation in each process improvement study.

Do the replacement analysis is each facilities improvement study.

Do OEE analysis.


Part of Main Topic: Analysis of Items in Operation Information Sheet

Questions for Productivity Analysis related to Machine Tool being used.


Replacement Analysis Questions


1. Is there a better machine in the market available now?

2. Would the purchase of a better machine be justified?

3. Is there a better machine in the supply market now?

4. Is buy justified if the supplier is quoting a lower price?

5. Is there a retrofit available to improve the machines of the shop?

6. Is the retrofit justified?

7. What is the result of the replacement analysis for replacement by a similar machine?


Is it the best machine among the machines available in the shop?

1. Is the machine tool best suited to the performance of the operation of all tools available?

OEE Analysis


Availability - Speed - Quality

Are the machines being maintained adequately to assure availability?

Is the speed specified for machine is actually available for production?

Are the jobs utilizing maximum speed available on the machine?

Is the quality obtained from the machine satisfactory? Are any adjustments required to improve the quality?



Based on the questions, alternatives to improve the operation in the area of  of machine tool being used can be determined and evaluated for the additional productivity opportunity.

Analyze for Presence of These Losses

A.    Seven major losses that impede overall equipment efficiency


1 Failure losses (Breakdown) Losses due to failures.
Types of failures include sporadic function-stopping failures, and function-reduction failures in which the function of the equipment drops below normal levels.

2 Set up and adjustment losses
Stoppage losses that accompany set-up changeovers

3 Cutting blade change losses
Stoppage losses caused by changing the cutting blade due to breakage, or caused by changing the cutting blade when the service life of the grinding stone, cutter or bite has been reached.

4 Start-up losses
When starting production, the losses that arise until equipment start-up, running-in and production processing conditions stabilize.

5 Minor stoppage and idling losses

Losses that occur when the equipment temporarily stops or idles due to sensor actuation or jamming of the work. The equipment will operate normally through simple measures (removal of the work and resetting).

6 Speed losses
 Losses due to actual operating speed falling below the designed speed of the equipment.


7 Defect & rework loss
Losses due to defects & reworking

B. Losses that impede equipment loading time


8 Shutdown (SD) losses
Losses that arise from planned equipment stoppages at the production planning level in order to perform periodic inspection and statutory inspection

C Three major losses that impede efficient use of production subsidiary resources

                    
9 Energy losses        
 Losses due to ineffective utilization of input energy (electric, gas, fuel oil, etc) in processing.

10 Die, jig and tool losses
Financial losses (expenses incurred in production, regarding renitriding, etc.) which occur with production or repairs of dies, jigs and tolls due to aging beyond services life or breakage.

11 Yield losses
 Material losses due to differences in the weight of the input materials and the weight of the quality products


Manufacturing System Losses Identified in TPM Literature - Principles of Machine Economy



It is interesting to note that a book has 4 chapters discussing equipment efficiency.
