Nano costs less than Ford T in Inflation Adjusted Terms

The Model-T (the first cheap car)  was sold at  $850 in 1908. When you adjust for inflation, that is about $22000 now.

However, the price of that got reduced to  $260 by 1920 (about $3500 now).

Tata Nano can be termed as a car similar to Ford T and it costs $2000.

Production Method - Technology Efficiency Engineering

Production technology or method has to be effective and efficient.
A technology is effective when it is able to produce a product with quality acceptable to the customer, that means it is as per the specification agreed to by the producer and customer.

A technology is efficient when it uses the lowest amount of resources to the produce the quality product. Efficiency can be measured only when the process produces acceptable quality products.

Production technology efficiency engineering is proposed by H.B. Maynard in Industrial Engineering discipline as Operation Analysis.

He gave nine areas of technology or production method for efficiency analysis.

They are:

1. Purpose of operation.

2. Complete survey of all operations performed on part.

3. Inspection requirements.

4. Material.

5. Material handling.

6. Setup and tool equipment.

7. Common possibilities for job improvement.

8. Working conditions.

9. Method.


As mentioned above the first focus of technology development is effectiveness or production of the item with acceptable quality. This effective method of production is normally composed of number of operations using different equipments.

The first question is whether each of the specified operations is rational?

The second analytical issue the sequence of operation. Is there any benefit by a combination of operations or rearrangement of operations.

The third area of analysis is the tolerances specified for each dimension that is inspected. Tighter tolerance result in higher costs.

The fourth aspect of analysis is material. In production method analysis, the examination of the material is done from the point of view manufacturing optimization. In value engineering or product design efficiency engineering, the material aspect is analysis must more rigorously with respect to alternative low cost materials.

The fifth aspect is material handling. How the material is moved between operations. To do this, the industrial engineer must have good knowledge of alternative material handling methods and their costs.

The sixth aspect is given as setup, tool and equipment. A radical redesign of the production method can call for replacement of the existing equipment or proposed equipment with more economically efficient equipment. Industrial engineer needs to have knowledge equipment alternatives and their costs in the area of technology being analysed. In number of cases, the efficiency analysis is more focused on using the existing equipment more efficiently. In this case, the industrial engineer must know the efficiency aspect of the existing machines in relation to various jobs being done in the organization.

Cutting tools, coolants, jigs and fixtures, chip removal methods are various aspects of the production method related to the equipment which need to be analyzed. The industrial engineer needs to have an updated knowledge about each of these aspects to do efficiency analysis and improvement of the production methods.

H.C.Starck Newton Facility - Productivity Improvement

H.C. Starck's Newton, MA site has been awarded Industry Week's 2013 Best Plants. The award demonstrates H.C. Starck's manufacturing excellence and its outstanding team who delivered extraordinary results in the face of strong global competition, cost reduction directives and increased customer demand.


The implementation of a world-class manufacturing program with 5S, Six Sigma and Lean techniques yielded significant improvements in Newton's manufacturing operations. Through these programs the facility hit the bulls-eye with its operational strategy, improved production practices and performance. Major gains were seen in customer satisfaction, product quality, and on-time delivery.






Results:
“There are many ways to measure the benefits of the work done at our plant,” says Lee Sallade, Vice President and General Manager.  “For me, the best measure is the overall increase in productivity. Over the last two years, this new focus has helped us see significant improvements in productivity as measured in tons produced and dollars sold per full time equivalent employee.”

 
                                                          2008                   2010      % Improvement
Tons Produced/FTE                            2.04                    2.95           45%
Thousands of Dollars Sold/FTE             748                  1,068           43%

"These improvements in output have helped us reduce costs and improved profitability,” adds Sallade. “A number of our competitors have plants in countries with low cost labor. But our productivity improvements have allowed us to maintain our competitiveness and our market share!”

P&G
• Saves $309,000 annually
2002
The installation and configuration of a Programmable Logic Control (PLC)-based network controls
package with Management Information System (MIS) capability. The new control system was
linked to additional airflow and dew point measuring devices that could provide it with real-time
data to better help it determine when to bring compressors on or offline.
The project has substantially reduced energy consumption by the original, seven-compressor system,
yielding annual energy savings of 7.6 million kWh and $304,000. The mill saved an additional
$5,000 on maintenance by taking a 450-hp unit offline. Together, these savings total $309,000.
Because the project cost was $545,000, the simple payback is 1.75 years

Energy Consumption by Chemical Industries
http://www.eia.gov/consumption/manufacturing/briefs/chemical/


Opportunities for Energy Efficiency in Hydrocarbon Resin Manufacturing Facilities

This paper summarizes the results of a plant-wide assessment of Neville Chemical
plants in Anaheim, CA and Pittsburgh, PA. US DOE cosponsored the assessments (Ganji, et
al. 2002).

Detailed plant-wide assessment of two hydrocarbon resin manufacturing facilities of
Neville Chemical revealed significant opportunities for energy efficiency, and consequently
air emissions and green house gas reduction in such facilities. The energy efficiency
opportunities (EEOs) in the Anaheim plant, the smaller of the two facilities, could save 27%
of the facility’s annual electrical energy usage, and 36% of its annual natural gas energy
usage. The cost savings is estimated at about 20% of this facility’s annual energy costs, with
an overall simple payback of 1.6 years. The EEOs identified in the Pittsburgh plant, a much
larger facility, could save 9% of the facility’s annual electrical energy usage, and 54% of its
annual natural gas usage. The total annual energy cost savings would represent about 30% of
the facility’s annual energy costs with an overall payback of 0.9 year. Significant non-energy
benefits including waste reduction and productivity improvement measures were also
identified.

Frugal Reengineering

Frugal Reengineering - Definition

Frugal Reengineering is a structured, sustainable process of continually redesigning products to cut costs. Cost-effective continual re-engineering (or continuous improvement in manufacturing parlance) of a product is the essence of frugal re-engineering.

Frugal re-engineering builds on the concepts of value analysis and engineering.
Frugal re-engineering has the potential to drive year-on-year cost savings of between 7 and 12 percent.

Knowledge Base and Knowledge Management for Frugal Reengineering

Are substitute low cost materials available?

Commodity prices are always rising and but low cost substitutes are being invented and developed.  The low cost substitutes material properties are also being further developed. Recently, an Indian automaker that projected the rising cost of nickel generated significant savings by substituting components that contained nickel with non-nickel-based components. Another firm cut costs by 5 percent and weight by 10 percent by judiciously substituting composite materials, which are less expensive than steel for low-volume applications.

Have manufacturing advances occurred offering low cost substitute processes?

Manufacturing technology and process innovations offer further opportunities to cut costs by reducing input material requirements. New process technologies such as near-net forging and flow forming—technologies with implications in many discrete manufacturing companies—can dramatically cut costs.

Have design engineering advances occurred providing opportunities for low cost designs?

The company must develop a knowledge management system that is able to create a database of relevant development in the external environment and ideas generated by internal members in this regard and make them available for the team doing a frugal reengineering project on a product, sub-assembly or component.

Reengineering Medical Technology

Productivity and IE in Synthetic Dye and Pigment Manufacturing

Absolute.Za depth filters provide unmatched performance for the chemical process industries. Z.Plex* technology has been used to create a depth filter, which has absolute filtration (99.9% efficiency at the rated micron) and long life. This combination delivers the lowest total operating cost for the most demanding applications in the chemical process industries. A leading manufacturer of ink jet dyes trialed Absolute.Za in their manufacturing process. The company was looking for improved productivity, faster processing and lower total operating cost, while maintaining their customers’ quality requirements. The manufacturing process was a batch operation, which included over 350 different ink dye formulations. Organic solvents used were primarily ketones. Absolute filtration at 0.5 micron was required for ink quality.

Production and purchasing management viewed the performance and cost savings of switching to the Absolute.Za as an "easy decision," and initiated the required steps to implement its use.

Cheaper Chinese Solar Panels - Analysis
Industry-validated figures from the first half of 2012, estimate of an MSP is $1.19 per Watt for US solar panels, compared to $0.91 per Watt for Chinese solar panels, and it represents  a price advantage of 23 per cent for a China-based manufacturer.
The dominant reason behind it is primarily the scale of solar panel manufacturing in the region, enabled by a less restrictive business and regulatory environment. The study shows that the density of production and the cost-benefit of using local suppliers give a China-based manufacturer access to cheaper materials and machinery. These scale and supply-chain advantages provide a China-based solar panel factory with a significant MSP advantage of $0.28 per Watt.

MODIFIED STARCHES FOR ENHANCED PAPER QUALITY AND HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY

Ashok Kumar Mishra

It is estimated that about 5 million tons of starch are currently used by the world paper industry, that is about 1.5% starch by weight including all grades of paper and paperboard. The use of modified starches is more common in the United States where modified starches are not only used to achieve higher productivity, but also higher paper quality. For example in 2004, of all the corn-based starch used by the paper industry in the United States, 76% was modified,

The advantages of modified starches over native starches are manifold.

Innovative lay-up system in plywood manufacturing process
Alberto Regattieri, Giacomo Bellomi
European Journal of Wood and Wood Products
February 2009, Volume 67, Issue 1, pp 55-62
In the traditional plywood manufacturing process, the lay-up stage absorbs approximately 24% of the total manufacturing costs. It usually requires a large amount of manpower and produces a significant amount of waste material. Interesting results of the innovative process include productivity increases of up to 20%, a decrease in lay-up costs of approximately 19% and a consumption of area reduced about 42%. Moreover, by reducing manpower requirements, the new system generates a significant reduction in the number of problems relating to product quality and operator safety.

Technology and Employment in Footwear Manufacturing: A Study Prepared for the International Labour Office Within the Framework of the World Employment Programme

BRILL, 1980 - Law - 216 pages
This book describes the law concerning temporary work in the European Community & in the EC Member Countries, with the exception of Luxembourg. The reports, prepared by national experts, most of them academics, were written on the basis of a common outline in order to guarantee, to a maximum, that each national report would contain the same & therefore comparable material. This has self-evidently not been possible for all countries, such as Greece, Italy & Spain where temporary work, in the sense of travail temporaire, is until now prohibited. On the basis of the EC -- & the national reports, a comparative report has been written, highlighting the convergencies & the divergencies in the regulations of temporary work as they emerge from the varying approaches in the different Member States. In doing so, one is again baffled by the enormous diversity which prevails in the Member States, although an interesting, positive & integrating approach can be discerned.

Productivity and IE in Ice Cream Manufacturing

A Verderflex Rapide R7S tube pump has delivered many benefits to the Hungarian ice cream manufacturer Magic Ice. Including substantially increased productivity because the pump can accommodate several pump heads allowing the company’s production to be doubled.

Currently Magic Ice has a twin head Verderflex Rapide R7S on their production line but the pump can easily be expanded up to four heads, providing the potential for easy future expansion. Each head delivers the same flow rate as they all run at the same speed from a single drive; a far more cost effective and compact option than running several independent pumps.

Automating processes in cheese manufacture can improve the productivity of the manufacturing plant to help meet increasing demand.
http://nz.rockwellautomation.com/applications/gs/ap/gsnz.nsf/pages/Slicing_cheese_with_automated_precision


Productivity of industrial cheese making process, which is the mass of cheese extracted from unit volume of raw milk, is a key element in the profitability of this industry. This productivity depends, among other parameters, on the cutting time of the milk gel that is formed to produce cheese. The cutting allows the
whey to separate from the solid matter. The cutting step can happen at different moments depending on the kind of cheese under production. If the cutting is done too soon or too late, this will dramatically affect the productivity of the process and the quality of the final product. One of the challenges of the industry
is to standardize the cutting time in order to optimize productivity.

How to optimize the cutting time of milk gels?
