August - Industrial Engineering Knowledge Revision Plan with Links

Revision of Process Industrial Engineering - Methods, Techniques and Tools

In this month's revision plan the focus is on production/engineering  processes improvement which al includes many engineering processes related to production,  inspection, material handling, maintenance and service of engineering goods and services.

Management of processes are also analyzed and redesigned by industrial engineers. If management processes, activities and policies are responsible for poor productivity, industrial engineers have to propose changes in management methods, practices and tools to improve productivity. This aspect of industrial engineering is discussed under the area - productivity management.

Productivity Gain Measurement

http://www.mpc.gov.my/epgm/

e-Productivity Gain Measurement (ePGM) System is a self-assessment online tool for companies in measuring productivity at firm’s level.
ePGM assists organisations to understand productivity measurement and also provides efficiency information of the organisations.
This will assist users to observe their companies· productivity performance trend for a period of up to ten years. The system also allows the companies to  benchmark  their  performance  with  the  industry  average performance.

Minumum three years profit and loss account, balance sheet and manufacturing account (if prepared normally) are required to give data inputs.

Visit the site and key in the data.



Productivity of each input   - Total output/quantity of the input  (Partial productivitivy)

Multifactor productivity    =  Total output/(Quantity of specified combination of inputs)

Total Factor Productivity   =  Total output/Total input

Productivity Index  =  100*(Productivity in current year-/(Productivity in base year)

History

The introduction to Japan was reported by the cost control inspection team dispatched by the Japan Productivity Headquarters (currently the Socioeconomic Productivity Headquarters). They brought the method and  introduced it as a method of cost reduction in 1955. It provided  opportunity to  the manufacturing industry to aim at reducing costs.

Target Costing and Value Engineering

Robin Cooper
Routledge, 19-Oct-2017 - Business & Economics - 359 pages



Effective cost management must start at the design stage. As much as 90-95% of a product's costs are added in the design process. That is why effective cost management programs focus on design and manufacturing. The primary cost management method to control cost during design is a combination of target costing and value engineering.

Target Costing Objectives:

Identify the cost at which your product must be manufactured at if it is to earn its profit margin at its expected target selling price.
Break the target cost down to its component level and have your suppliers find ways to deliver the components they sell you at the set target prices while still making adequate returns.

Value Engineering:

The connection to function: An organized effort and team based approach to analyze the functions of goods and services that the design stage, and find ways to achieve those functions in a manner that allows the firm to meet its target costs.

The result: Added value for your company (development costs on-line with added value for your company; development costs on-line with selling prices) and added value for your customer (higher quality products that meet, possibly even exceed, customer expectations.)

Design for Manufacturing

1. Estimate the Manufacturing Costs
2. Reduce the Cost of Components
3. Reduce the Cost of Assembly
4. Reduce the Costs of Supporting Production
5. Consider the Impact of DFM Decisions on other Factors

Designing Products for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA)

Product design has to ensure that manufacturing and assembly feasibility and cost are appropriately considered in the design process.

Reducing the number of parts is an important concern of DFMA. For this purpose for each separate part, the following questions are to be answered by the designer.

1. Does the part move relative to all other parts?
2. Must the part be made of different material?
3. Must the part be separate from all other parts to allow the disassembly of the product for adjustment or maintenance?


DFM Guideline
A1) Understand manufacturing problems/issues of current/past products
A3) Eliminate overconstraints to minimize tolerance demands.

P1) Adhere to specific process design guidelines.
P2) Avoid right/left hand parts.
P3) Design parts with symmetry.
P4) If part symmetry is not possible, make parts very asymmetrical.
P5) Design for fixturing.
P6) Minimize tooling complexity by concurrently designing tooling.
P8) Specify optimal tolerances for a Robust Design.
P9) Specify quality parts from reliable sources.
P10) Minimize Setups.
P11) Minimize Cutting Tools.
P12) Understand tolerance step functions and specify tolerances wisely.

Technologies to reduce production costs

Sep 11, 2005 Leslie Gordon

Software that optimizes product design

Companies can slash costs by improving the design process at its beginning. Design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) software includes a design-for-manufacture module, with which engineers obtain early cost estimates on parts or products, and a design-for-assembly module, which they employ to determine the best methods to manufacture products.

Engineers use the software where a design idea might still be scribbled on a napkin. Or, they use it to re-examine fully finished products to ensure design efficiency. For example, engineers take a part's geometry and determine whether the part should be made from a casting, or be machined, or injection-molded. During this process, the software draws from its large database, containing thousands of manufacturing processes, materials, and machinery, which was developed over many years in conjunction with companies such as GM and Ford.

Engineers also evaluate each assembly's function and the relationship between parts. They simplify and streamline designs repeatedly until achieving a minimum per/piece cost. For example, in one application, engineers slashed labor time by streamlining a product design to eliminate assembly screws.

Value Analysis Tear-down: A New Process for Product Development and Innovation
Yoshihiko Sato, J. Jerry Kaufman
Industrial Press Inc., 2005 - Technology & Engineering - 206 pages
This book presents, for the first time, a new technology for improving products and innovating new and better products, first developed in Japan by Yoshihiko Sato. Value analysis tear-down combines traditional tear-down with the technologies of value analysis and value engineering. Within a few years of its public announcement in Japan, value analysis tear-down was adopted by all eleven Japanese automobile manufacturers, and many of the Japanese consumer electronics manufacturers. Jerry Kaufman, based in Houston, Texas, is a recognized authority and author on value engineering and value management, and has contributed much that is in these technologies to the process described in this book. The result of his collaboration with Mr. Sato is a process that helps engineers and managers reduce product cost, improve quality, continuously improve existing products, and discover opportunities for innovative change.
The first "how-to-do-it" book in English, it is written specifically for professionals in product engineering, manufacturing engineering, and value engineering; and the managers of these professionals, including plant managers, production managers, manufacturing executives, and research and development executives. It will also be useful to manufacturing, marketing, and management people concerned with product improvement, innovation, and improving their company's competitive position. Value analysis tear-down can be applied in many service and other industries, as well as in manufacturing; wherever there are physical components to be improved or invented.

Capital project value improvement in the 21st century: Trillions of dollars in the offing

August 2018 | Article
if PVI best practices were implemented at scale, an annual benefit on the order of $1 trillion is possible.

PVI is a systematic method used to improve a project’s financial value or cashflow. This process most often involves reducing its capital or operating expenditure; increasing its output; or accelerating its completion date so it becomes profitable more quickly. The crux of PVI lies in a comprehensive, “no stone left unturned” approach to identifying and evaluating creative alternatives to a project’s economics, with the goal of achieving a higher project return

Value Engineering Synergies with Lean Six Sigma: Combining Methodologies for Enhanced Results
Jay Mandelbaum, Anthony Hermes, Donald Parker, Heather Williams
CRC Press, 11-May-2012 - Business & Economics - 212 pages
Lean Six Sigma (LSS), Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), and Value Engineering (VE) have a proven track record of success for solving problems and improving efficiency. Depending on the situation, integrating these approaches can provide results that exceed the benefits of each individual approach. Value Engineering Synergies with Lean Six Sigma: Combining Methodologies for Enhanced Results describes how to integrate these dynamic tools to achieve unprecedented improvements and break down the organizational stovepipes that can occur when different offices are assigned responsibility for different problem-solving methods.

The book identifies opportunities where readers can integrate these approaches to go beyond what is currently possible with the individual approaches. Explaining the VE methodology, it supplies a high-level discussion of LSS and DFSS. Next, it compares VE with LSS and identifies the different opportunities for synergies that can provide your organization with a competitive edge.

Video Lean Blog Interviews - Healthcare, Manufacturing, Business, and Leadership (Video) - Mark Graban

My guest for Episode #515 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Jim Morgan, senior advisor at Lean Enterprise Institute and a board member at Adrian Steel. Jim’s most recent industry experience was as Chief Operating Officer at Rivian, an electric vehicle manufacturer.

Episode page with transcript, links, and more: https://leanblog.org/515

He was previously a guest in Episode 109 back in 2011.

Before joining Rivian, Jim spent a little over ten years at Ford Motor Company. He began by leading the development of the Global Product Development System (GPDS). 

He then served the last nine years as Director of Global Body and SBU Engineering and Tooling operations, where he and his team contributed to the company’s historic, product-led revitalization under then-CEO Alan Mulally.   

Prior to Ford, Jim served as Vice President of Operations at Troy Design and Manufacturing (TDM), a tier-one global automotive supplier of engineering services, prototype tools, and low to medium-volume production parts and subassemblies. 

Jim holds a Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Michigan, where his original research into Product Development won two Shingo Prizes for Research Excellence. In addition, he co-authored (with Professor Jeffrey Liker) the award-winning books The Toyota Product Development System (2006) and Designing the Future (2018). 

Sign up for the LEI Design Brief Newsletter

We’ll dive into his incredible journey, from his time at Ford, where he led the development of their global product system, to his work at Rivian, helping to shape the future of electric vehicles. Jim shares valuable lessons learned along the way, especially around integrating lean principles into product and process development. We also talk about how embracing risk and learning from mistakes can fuel innovation.

Questions, Notes, and Highlights:

Lean Origin Story: What’s your lean origin story, and how did you get introduced to lean thinking?

Product Development vs. Production: Can you explain the difference between product development and production systems?

Rivian Involvement: How and when did you get involved with Rivian, and what drew you to the company?

Challenges at Rivian: What were the major challenges and opportunities as Rivian evolved from concept to production?

Recruiting for Rivian: How did you recruit talent for Rivian, and what was the mix of automotive and non-automotive experience?

Rivian’s Product Strategy: How did Rivian’s product strategy differ from other electric vehicle manufacturers like Tesla?

Culture Development: How did Rivian focus on building its own culture and operating system from the ground up?

Learning from Mistakes: How did Rivian’s culture embrace learning from mistakes, and how was that risk tolerance cultivated?

Ford and Alan Mulally’s Leadership: How did Alan Mulally’s leadership at Ford influence your thinking on surfacing and solving problems?

Board Involvement: What has your experience been like as a board member at Adrian Steel, and how does it differ from your previous roles?

LEI Learning Groups: Can you tell us about the LEI Product and Process Development Learning Group and how companies collaborate and learn together?

Mechanization and Productivity

The key variable for the evolution of industry is ‘invention’; more precisely, ‘the evolution of industry is the history of this force’ (1929, pp. 17–18).  According to MacGregor, it is ‘the nature of invention to create surpluses. An invention means that the same results are got with less outlay of resources’ (1929, p. 31).

Invention can be of two types: (i) invention of resources, with the discovery of new products;
(ii) invention of processes, the effect of which is ‘to get the same result with smaller use of natural supplies’ (1929, pp. 20–21).

In MacGregor, invention comes from the ‘energy of persons’ (1929, p. 31) and allows the development of ‘specialization’ (1929, p. 29). It requires time to come into being.

Process Industrial Engineering - Methods, Techniques and Tools

The focus is on production process improvement which also includes many engineering processes related to production and maintenance of engineering goods and services.

Management of processes are also analyzed and redesigned by industrial engineers. If management processes, activities and policies are responsible for poor productivity, industrial engineers have to propose changes in management methods, practices and tools to improve productivity. This aspect of industrial engineering is discussed under the area - productivity management.
