System and method for productivity thinking code level evaluation

Patent: US8651871B2, United States
Publication of US8651871B2: 2014-02-18
Status: Active
Adjusted expiration: 2032-07-18

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A system and method are provided for identifying ranges of scores in thinking areas that are indicative of individuals that perform at top levels.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the process of generating productivity thinking area scores for an individual according to an embodiment of the invention.

FIG. 2 is an example of a report showing the productivity thinking area scores for an individual according to an embodiment of the invention.

Behavioral research has been performed on the characteristics of members of an organization and the impact of these characteristics on the objectively measurable performance of the organization. In some cases, the organization is a business, the members are the business' personnel and the objectively measurable performance of the business is the business' financial performance.

Research has also been performed on mapping of the brain's thinking mechanism and how thinking mechanisms generate fears, pain, beliefs, anxiety, and task execution. This research led to identifying solutions to internal fears and pain reduction, resulting in changing peoples lives.

The thinking areas most highly correlated with high performance across all positions within an organization were isolated. These key productivity thinking areas (or “productivity thinking areas” or “thinking areas” for short) are 1) self-motivation, 2) stress or fear based motivation, and 3) thinking speed. The “thinking code” mapping for productivity was outlined in each of these three productivity thinking areas.

Principles of Lean - Toyota Production System

“separating human work from machine work."

What does “separating human work from machine work mean?

Separating human work from machine work: One example is
(1) place the part in the machine,
(2) touch a “go” button and go somewhere else for another work.
(3) machine does the work and ejects the workpiece
(4) the operator comes back when he wants to load another part or wants the part for further processing.

This involves two basic engineering tricks, as written in old Toyota documents:

Automatic feed: once you place the part, the machine has to picks it up by itself and place it in the work holding fixture.
Autoeject: when the machining is done, the machine stops by itself and the part is ejected so it can be picked up easily.
https://www.lean.org/balle/DisplayObject.cfm?o=3161
------------------------
The Video gives the four principles as Pull, One piece flow, Tact and Zero Defects.

It can also be said as Produce to order, Small batches as required to deliver, Produce only what is needed and ensure zero defects.

How do you do it? That is where manufacturing or production systems design and industrial engineering come into picture.

Industrial Engineering Redesign Or Industrial Engineering Review of Methods

For successful work in any field, it is important to define beforehand what is to be accomplished.

Goal Determination for Industrial Engineering

The goal-determination step includes:

1. General goal: Most industries have as a goal a better product for a lower cost. For industrial engineering projects, the general goals most of the times are going to be cost reduction and increased productivity.
2.After the general goals is decided the next decision is "where to start the work?" Will it be single operation or full process.?
3. For each specific problem, a specific goal is to be determined.

Some of the specific goal alternatives are:

Eliminate time spent in obtaining and tools
Reduce discomfort of the operator
Improve the organization of the workplace
Eliminate some make-ready time.
Eliminate some put-away time.
Reduce operator delay
Reduce total cycle time.
Reduce scrap.

Steps or Change Opportunities in Industrial Engineering Work regarding Products and Processes

1. Change the material being used or contemplated to help meet the goal for the operation being studied.
2. Change the present or contemplated design of product to help meet the goal for the operation being studied.
3. Change the present or contemplated (operation) and sequence of modification work on the material or product to help meet the goal of for operation being studied.
4. Change the equipment used or contemplated for the operation to help meet the goal for the operation being studied.
5. Change the method or hand pattern used or contemplated for the operation to help the goal for operation being studied.

Application of motion economy Principles to Jig and Fixture Design

"A Jig holds parts in an exact position and guides the tool that works on them."

"A Fixture is a less accurate device for holding parts which would otherwise have to be held in one hand while the other worked on them."

The designer's object in providing jigs and fixtures is primarily accuracy in machining or assembly. Principles of motion economy may not made use of. Often, opening and closing them or positioning the workpiece calls for more movements on the part of the operative than are strictly necessary. For example, a spanner may have to be used to tighten a nut when a wing nut would be more suitable. Some points worth noting are:

1. Clamps should be as simple to operate as possible and should not have to be screwed unless this is essential-for accuracy of positioning. If two clamps are required they should be designed for use by the right and left hand sat the same time.

2. The design of the jig should be such that both hands can load parts into it with a minimum of obstruction. There should be no obstruction between the point of entry and the point from which the material is obtained.

3. The action of unclamping a jig should at the same time eject the part, so that the additional movements are not required to take part out of the jig.

4. Where possible on small assembly work‟ fixtures for a part which does not allow of two

-handed working should be made to take two parts, with sufficient space between them to allow both bands to work easily.

5. In some cases jigs are made to take several small parts. This may save loading time if several parts can be clamped in position as quickly as one.

6. The work-study man should not ignore machine jigs and fixtures such as milling jigs. A great deal of time and power is often wasted on milling machines owing to the fact that parts are milled one at a time when it may be quite feasible to mill two or more at once.

7. If spring-loaded disappearing pins are used to position components, attention should be given to their strength of construction. Unless the design is robust such devices tend to function well for a while but then have to be repaired or redesigned.

8. In introducing a component into a jig it is important to ensure that the operator should be able to see what he is doing at all stages; this should be checked before any design is accepted. The recording techniques of two-handed process chart and multiple activity charts proves very useful in improvement studies of work place layout. In certain type of operations and particularly those with very short cycles which are repeated thousands of times (such as sweet packing or electronic assembly), it may be required to go into greater details of study to save on movement of hands and efforts and to develop best possible pattern of movement, thus enabling the operator to perform the operation repeatedly with a minimum of effort and fatigue.

The techniques used for this purpose frequently make use of filming and are known as 'Micro motion Study'

Business Case for 5-Axis Machines - Benefits and Costs

Information for IE - Case 82

Inviting Participation from Engineering Executives in Industrial Engineering for Productivity - NITIE International Online Management Development Program

Every shop has work that would benefit from a 5-axis machine because a 5-axis machining center facilitates 5-sided machining. So, even if the shop does not have simultaneous 5-axis work, such as impellers or turbines, the parts being produced on 3-axis machines will be more profitable when 5-sided machining is used on a 5-axis machining center.

Business case

In 2005, Porta introduced its Multicenter solution as one more altenative to the dedicated machine and a flexible machine. The thinking was to use the dedicated machining technology designed around a specific part in a machining center platform that could easily be retooled as part mixes changed.

Centered on a four-station carousel, the machine, in its most popular configuration, features three horizontal machining center modules. The fourth station on the worktable is a load/unload station that can be manned or automated.

Each of the machining center modules is capable of three or true four-axis machining at each station. The machining center modules operate progressively, but are controlled independently. Each machining center may produce one part completely, one part may be made in progressive stages using all three centers, or multiple different parts can also be produced in progressive operations. In progressive operations, all parts would be worked on by all three spindles before getting back to the load/unload station finished.

According to executives of Porta, most popular applicaton is use of the progressive machining sequence.

There is an interesting application where the customer produced three different parts on one cycle of the Multicenter. These parts form an assembly, so each cycle of the machine produced a complete set of threeparts. After machining, the parts were assembled and shipped to the customer in required lots. It turned out to be a very efficient application the mutlicenter machine.

Alternatives to Reduce Part Costs as Volumes Scale up

Information for IE - Case 79

Inviting Participation from Engineering Executives in Industrial Engineering for Productivity - NITIE International Online Management Development Program
31 August to 4 September 2020
Course Leader: Prof. K.V.S.S. Narayana Rao

Brochure - Industrial Engineering for Productivity, International MDP, 31 August to 4 September 2020

https://www.nitie.ac.in/sites/default/files/Final-Brochure-for-International-MDP.pdf

Machining is normal considered as the popular option for producing components with input coming from various primary processes. Certain complex metal parts can only be machined, but thinner gauge parts and enclosures are typically stamped using hard tooling or fabricated using lasers, turret presses, or press brakes. Stamping using hard tooling requires investment in tooling and when volumes are low, fabrication methods are used instead of stamping.

"One stop metal parts" offer multiple routes to producing parts. This facilitates the transition to hard tooling for higher volume parts, mixing, and matching metalworking techniques for multi-component assemblies, along with incorporating hybrid and secondary tooling approaches to further reduce costs.

Cost Savings Possible and Investment Required

Fabricating a sheet metal part that costs $10 may be made at cost of $6 by stamping, but the investment of $30-40,000 in tooling is required. For $4 saving, 10,000 pieces per annum means one year payback.

In another example, reported, a customer was spending $18 for a power supply chassis with a $4 cover. As volume requirements increased, he was suggested to move to hard tooling with cost reduction opportunity of $22 to $14.

The saving is $8 a unit and the volume is 3,000 units a month. As the tooling cost is $80,000, total saving is $24,000 per month, giving 3.5 month payback period.

Industrial engineers have the responsibility to continuously look for cost reduction opportunities.

7. Tapers and Taper Turning

There are various ways in which taper turning can be done on lathe.

i) By swiveling the compound rest.
ii) By setting over the tailstock center.
iii) By a broad nose form tool.
iv) By a taper turning attachment.
v) By combining longitudinal and cross feed in a special lathe and
vi) By using numerical control lathe.

8. Thread Cutting

Using single point tool, various threads, V, square or power threads can be cut on a lathe.
During the cut, the cutting tool must travel a distance equal to the pitch in mm as the work piece completes a revolution. This relative motion is achieved by lead screw and nut mechanism by fixing a gear ratio between head stock spindle and lead screw. The number of cuts to be made is also calculated and that many cuts are given to form the complete thread.

9. Drilling on a Lathe

Drill is head in tail stock position. The tail stock is moved closer to the work piece held in the chuck or face plate. The drill is fed into the work piece face by using the hand wheel of the tailstock.

10. Cutting Speed

Cutting speed is the rate in meters per minute at which the surface of the job moves past the cutting tool. The cutting speed has to be properly determined as slow cutting speeds result in less material removal per unit time (low productivity) and high cutting speeds which are inappropriate overheat the the tool and cutting edge fails and may require resharpening or replacement.

The following factors determine appropriate cutting speed.

i). Work piece material.
ii) Cutting tool material
iii) Cutting tool geometry
iv) Rigidity of the machine tool and job (holding method)
v) Type of cutting fluid being used.

Cutting speed in meters/min = (22/7 that Pi)*D*N/1000
D = Diameter of the work piece in mm, actually it is average of D1 and D2, diameter of the blank and diameter of the finished work piece in the cut.
N = revolutions of the spindle or the work in Rev/minute

11. Feed

Feed is defined as the distance that a tool advances into the work during one revolution of the headstock spindle (mm/revolution or inch/rev)

As part of operation analysis, industrial engineers have to do supply chain analysis of the inputs to the operation. In general, this analysis may be sufficient if it is done at the operation at which new material is given as input into the process. Cost reduction in supply chain is the responsibility of industrial engineering, especially in engineering areas of the supply chain. Whatever operation analysis is carried out by them in their internal operations, they can extend it to supplier operations.

The procedure or modus operandi can be different. They can arrange for industrial engineering activity in supplier firms through either internal industrial engineers or consultants. They may directly go and do the observation and data collection.

The process charts and operation information sheets can be evaluated in their companies in the presence of representatives of supplier companies.

A supply chain industrial engineering committee can be set up with participation of industrial engineers from supplier firms. Supply chain industrial engineering is an important activity in supply chains and a suitable organization has to be developed by supply chain leader companies.

Operation process charts contain material input as part of the chart. Hence attaching supply chain information in operation process chart is natural and feasible in supply chain management era.

About the Conventions in Recording Operation Process Chart

The component which is to be charted first in an assembly is chosen. A horizontal material line is drawn in the upper right hand portion of the paper used for charting. A brief description of the material is recorded directly above this line. A description, such as "20 ga. Steel Sheet" is sufficient. The purpose of the operation process chart to give a picture of the process as a whole to facilitate reasoning for doing the operations and examining the possibility of combining operations or splitting operations further or changing their sequence. For detailed analysis of each operation more detail is required and that is collected in operation information sheet of each operation. In order to identify the part which is being produced through the steps recorded in the operation process chart of that part, the name and identifying number of the part are recorded in capital letters directly above the material description.

A vertical flow line is next drawn down from the right hand end of the horizontal material line. Approximately 1/4 in. from the top point of this vertical flow line, the symbol circle is drawn for the first operation or inspection which is performed. To the right of this symbol, a brief description of the operation or inspection is recorded, such as "turn the diameter," or "Inspect incoming material." To the left of the symbol is recorded the time allowed for performing the required work. More information which adds value to the chart, such as department in which the work is performed, machine number, or labor classification utilized are recorded to the right of the symbol below the description of the operation.

When another component joins the first, a material line is drawn to the left of the vertical flow line to show the point at which the second component enters the process. If it is purchased material, a brief identification of the material, such as "Wing Nut No. 180" is placed directly above the material line. If it is a component produced inside the factory, there is a vertical flow line representing the process used to produce this component and that vertical line joins the horizontal material input line. This process line will have its material horizontal line at the top to the left and the operations and inspections performed on it in the vertical line. This same procedure is repeated as each new component joins one which is being charted. The final event which completes the assembly will thus appear in the lower right hand portion of the chart.

Thus we can see that material input into the process is already a part of the operation process chart. What is now being suggested in this article as an innovation in industrial engineering that facilitates supply chain industrial engineering is extending the material line backward into process of producing and transporting through the supply chain.

Machine Setup Productivity Analysis - Processing Operation Productivity Analysis Step

Setup of the machine for a job includes collecting drawings, materials and tools as well as instructions from appropriate persons. Then the fixture and tools are to be set up on the machine and loading of the work piece has to take place. At the end of the day, tools etc. are to be returned. In the process, care has to be taken to see that equipment is kept in proper order.

________________________

The setup and the workplace layout must be studied in detail, for they largely determine tool movements and motions that must be used to perform the operation by operators. The order in which tools are set up in a turret lathe, for example, will determine the order in which the various machining operations are performed. The position in which material is placed with respect to the point of use will determine the class and the length of the motions required to secure it.

Questions on "Make-ready" and "Put-away" Elements. The procedure followed to perform the " make-ready" and "put- away" elements should be questioned closely, particularly on small-quantity work, for these operations are usually fairly long. Many of them carry the operator away from his workplace. This is undesirable for several reasons, and the necessity for trips to other parts of the department should be minimized. The arrangement of the workplace layout is of primary importance, and the simple rules governing efficient workplace layouts should be clearly understood.

Maynard (1939)

Typical questions which will lead to suggestions for improvement in this connection are as follows :

1. How is the job assigned to the operator?

2. Is the procedure such that the operator is ever without a job to do?

3. How are instructions imparted to the operator?

4. How is material secured?

5. How are drawings and tools secured?

6. How are the times at which the job is started and finished checked?

7. What possibilities for delays occur at drawing room, tool- room, storeroom, or time clerk's office?

8. If operator makes his own setup, would economies be gained by providing special setup men?

9. Could a supply boy get tools, drawings, and material?

10. Is the layout of the operator J's locker or tool drawer orderly so that no time is lost searching for tools or equipment?

11. Are the tools that the operator uses in making his setup adequate?

12. Is the machine set up properly?

13. Is the machine adjusted for proper feeds and speeds?

14. Is machine in repair, and are belts tight and not slipping?

15. If vises, jigs, or fixtures are used, are they securely clamped to the machine?

16. Is the order in which the elements of the operation are performed correct?

17. Does the workplace layout conform to the principles that govern effective workplace layouts?

18. Is material properly positioned?

19. Are tools prepositioned?

20. Are the first few pieces produced checked for correctness by anyone other than the operator?

21. What must be done to complete operation and put away all equipment used?

22. Can trip to return tools to toolroom be combined with trip to get tools for next job?

23. How thoroughly should workplace be cleaned?

24. What disposal is made of scrap, short ends, or defective parts?

25. If operation is performed continuously, are preliminary operations of a preparatory nature necessary the first thing in the morning?

26. Are adjustments to equipment on a continuous operation made by the operator?

27. How is material supply replenished?

28. If a number of miscellaneous jobs are done, can similar jobs be grouped to eliminate certain setup elements?

29. How are partial setups handled?

30. Is the operator responsible for protecting workplace over- night by covering it or locking up valuable material?

From this list, it may be seen that an analysis of "make-ready " and "put-away" operations covers a rather wide field.

Make Ready.

When the operator has received notification in one way or another of the job he is to do, he must next secure drawings, tools, and material. The way in which this is done also varies widely. In some cases, the operator must hunt everything for himself. In others, he goes to a tool- or drawing-room window and waits while an attendant gets what he requires. In still other cases, everything is brought to him, and he does not have to leave his work station.

It is possible to work out an economical system for furnishing the operator with what he needs at his work station, it is desirable to do so. Besides reducing costs, this procedure increases the amount of time the equipment is utilized and thus increases the productive capacity of the plant. Often a low-rated worker can do the errands of the operators and bring tools, drawings, and materials.

Where the group system is used and no supply boy is available, the group leader commonly gets all necessary supplies and tools. By getting the necessary items for several jobs at one time, he is able to effect economies.

If a conveyer system that starts from the stores is used, the jobs may be dispatched by the production department in the order wanted, and all material, tools, and drawings can be sent out at the same time on the conveyer. Thus the amount of time spent by the operator in getting ready to make the setup or workplace layout is reduced to a minimum.

The manner in which instructions are furnished with regard to how the job should be done is worthy of careful consideration.

Some plants employ instructors or demonstrators to perform the teaching function. If these men know the best methods themselves and are good teachers, good results will be secured. Too often, however, the instructor is merely an experienced operator who knows only such methods as he himself used before he was promoted. If he is a machine instructor, he is likely to teach feeds and speeds and the best way to grind tools, mentioning only briefly, if at all, the arrangement of the workplace and the motions that should be used.

A lathe operator, for example, was engaged in turning shafts in an engine lathe. Each shaft had to be stamped with a number. The operator would remove a finished shaft from his lathe, turn to a bench, stamp the number, set aside the shaft, pick up another, and return to his machine. The turning required a long cut under power feed. A much better method is as follows: While a cut is being taken, the operator gets the next shaft to be machined; he places it on the machine ways in a convenient position; as soon as the cut is taken, he removes the finished shaft and inserts the other; he starts the cut and then while the machine is running, stamps and lays aside the finished shaft. Thus, the machine runs nearly continuously, and idle time on the part of both the operator and the machine is reduced.

Instruction sheets can be used to instruct operators and, under certain conditions, their use is not too costly. It gives complete and detailed instructions.

Setup. The setup of the machine and of any tools, jigs, or fixtures used should be studied in detail. The correctness and the adequacy of the setup should first be considered, followed by a brief review of the methods employed to make it. The correct setup is fixed by the nature of the operation, the nature of the part, the requirements of the job, and the mechanical features of the machine. Sometimes, it is possible to do a job in more than one way, and care should be taken to ascertain that the best way is being used.

When the setup is being made, certain tools are usually required. These should be suitable for the purpose. If each operator must make his own setup, he should be provided with the necessary tools. If only one or two wrenches are furnished to a group of 10 operators, for example, the time lost in hunting the wrenches and in waiting for a chance to use them will usually far offset the cost of additional equipment.

If setup men are employed to setup machines ahead of the operators, their setup work is to them fairly repetitive work, because they are performing the same elements day after day. It will therefore be desirable to treat it as such and to furnish the setup men with special-purpose quick-acting tools.

The Workplace Layout. The improvement of the layout of the workplace of the industrial worker is too often overlooked as a means for effecting operating economies. The layout of the workplace partly determines the method the operator must follow in doing a given task, and it almost wholly determines the motions he must employ. Since certain motions are more fatiguing and consume more time than others, it is quite possible to effect worth-while cost reductions merely by rearranging layouts. The rearrangement usually comes about as the result of detailed motion study. The principles which affect workplace layouts will be discussed briefly.

The principles of efficient work areas should be applied to all lines of work, for they are universal. It is customary to think of them in connection with bench operations; but they can and should be applied to the arrangement of tools and materials around machines or on work such as molding, forging, and the like, and to the arrangement of levers, handwheels, and so on, when designing machine-tool equipment. When the imaginary boundary lines that limit the normal and maximum working areas in all planes are clearly visualized, it is quite easy to detect inefficient arrangements of workplaces and to know exactly what steps must be taken to. bring about improvement.

When an analysis is made of a specific operation, one of the most glaring faults commonly encountered lies in the arrangement of containers of raw and finished material.

Put Away. The put-away elements usually consume less time than the make-ready elements. Tools are put away, the setup is torn down, and the workplace is more or less thoroughly cleaned up. Usually, some of the put-away elements can be combined with some of the make-ready elements for the next operation.

Tools for one operation, for example, may be returned to the toolroom when the tools for the next operation are obtained. The procedure that will prove most economical for the put-away elements will depend to a large extent upon the manner in which the make-ready elements are performed.

Where a number of similar operations are performed on a machine, it is sometimes possible to use 'the same or part of the same setup on two or more jobs. A part that is common to several assemblies may be ordered separately for each and appear on several different orders. If these orders are grouped, one setup will care for them all. Again, in milling-machine work, for example, it may be possible to use the same cutter for several different jobs. The elements of "get cutter from toolroom/ ; "place cutter on machine, "remove cutter from machine" and "return cutter to toolroom" will thus be performed but once for the several jobs.

Where possibilities of this sort exist, provision should be made when setting up the make-ready and put-away routine so that the economies will be made. If the operator does not know what job he is to do next, if he must completely tear down his setup before going for another job, and if neither the foreman nor the dispatcher attempts to group similar jobs, advantage cannot be taken of partial setups. This is wasteful, of course, and every attempt should be made to secure the benefit of partial setups. Whether or not the operator is paid for the complete setup or only for that part which he actually makes depends upon the difficulty in controlling setups and upon whether or not the saving is due to the operator's own initiative. In either case, more time is available for productive work which is a distinct gain.

Improve Energy Savings and Efficiency with Vector Kinematics

Mafac, a German manufacturer of aqueous parts cleaning equipment, recently upgraded its kinematic cleaning technology to a vector kinematics process. The vector kinematics system process clearly reaches more regions than its conventional counterpart. It increases effectiveness of spray cleaning machined metal parts and parts with blind holes and recesses benefit from it. Because of the new technology, users can save up to 20% in energy usage. Mafac’s technology is within a rotary basket machine where vector kinematics allows the cleaning spray nozzles to additionally swivel. Proper basket rotation is also a key part of the system.

The machine’s Maviatic visual display software controller, developed by Mafac, calculates the movement of the basket rotation beforehand, making possible corotation and counterrotation with respect to the nozzle tube. Vector kinematics technology offers the combination of mechanical components, temperature, cleaning additives and time savings which, in turn, can provide an effective and economical parts cleaning process.

Vector kinematics is delivers more cleaner parts in a shorter amount of time or cleaner parts within the same specified time compared with processes that only use spray tubes or rotational spray tubes.
