United States

I'm an Industrial Engineer who helps organizations with continuous process improvements to reduce cost and increase productivity.

I have 4 years of manufacturing experience implementing continuous process improvements and driving business growth. Held various roles and led projects which provided cost benefits around $2.4 million.

I propose a target of $600,000 per a BSIE based IE team per annum.

Value Creation Model for Industrial Engineering

For $100 million cost, there can be one MS IE and 6 BSIEs. Value created: $3,600,000 per year on $100,000,000 cost of production per year.

Calculation shows 3 years payback for annual investment in IE team & projects, and NPV of $52,680 at the end of 4 years. If the process continues after 4 years, the NPV will increase.

Process Industrial Engineering Using Robo Cylinder

Case Study 10 of Industrial Engineering ONLINE Course

Industrial Engineering Case Studies Collection

Watch the video explaining productivity improvement obtained by replacing air cylinder with Robo cylinder. Robo cylinder takes less time to do the operation in comparison to air cylinder and hence the productivity of system increases to the extent of removing one machine from the production along with the operator giving substantial cost reduction. It is a good example of process industrial engineering. Industrial engineers have to continuously receive trade literature about productivity improvement devices and assess their application in the operations of their organization. Sometimes, industrial engineers may get ideas to modify their existing mechanisms after understanding the new commercial devices. The continuous focus on the various engineering elements used in the organization can trigger ideas from operator to the highest level engineers to modify the mechanisms for productivity.

7 Benefits Of The ROBO Cylinder

4 Dec 2010

IAI America IntelligentActuator.com

Our ROBO Cylinders® are highly efficient electric actuators that will cut down on running costs and give you substantial ROI. Not only will you save on energy costs but ROBO Cylinders® typically last 10 times longer than similar air cylinders. Why stop there? Here are 7 more benefits that you need to know about.

1: Position Moves (Multi Point Positioning)

2: Speed Control (Constant, Variable)

3: Acceleration Control (Independent Accel / Decel)

4: Pitch (Incremental) Moves

5: Pause (Hold)

6: Push and Hold

7: Zone Output

The Development of CF Aluminum Die-Casting for Superthin Walls

Yamaha mastered its controlled filling (CF) aluminum die-casting technology at the dawn of the 21st century. Long seen as an exciting next-generation technology that would broaden the possibilities of Monozukuri, CF die casting continues to be further developed and refined today. This casting technology has opened up new realms of freedom for the design and production of large parts, allowing us to create frames and other aluminum parts that are lighter and more attractive to the eye, thereby bringing Yamaha motorcycles numerous advantages.
