4-Machine Utilization Economy


Machines are to be properly selected, used and maintained to increase productivity and reduce cost of production.

Resource Utilization Economy Principles

The principle can be restated better more appropriately. "Principles of resource utilization economy and productivity to be developed for all resources used in engineering systems." (Added on 27 September 2021, 9 June 2018).

Utilization economy and productivity principles are to be developed for each resource used in the production processes. So far, in industrial engineering discipline, principles of motion economy only are developed. There has to be research and effort to develop similar principles for all resources.

Principles of motion economy for human effort industrial engineering. 
Principles of machine economy for machine effort industrial engineering.

Taylor's Industrial Engineering - Machine Utilization Economy 

Principles of Machine Productivity - F.W. Taylor


1. A careful study is to made of the time required to do each of the many elementary operations of machining of components manufactured in the establishment.
2.These elementary operations are then classified, recorded, and indexed, and when work is to be done,  the job is first divided into its elementary operations, the time required to do each elementary operation is found from the records, and the total time for the job is summed up from these data.
3. This method is more effective than the method of estimating the time based on time taken to do whole jobs of similar components.
4. To implement the principles, in the case of work done by metal-cutting tools, such as lathes, planers, boring mills, etc., F.W. Taylor undertook a long and expensive series of experiments  to determine, formulate, and finally practically apply to each machine the law governing the proper cutting speed of tools, namely, the effect on the cutting speed of altering any one of the following variables : the shape of the tool (i.e., lip angle, clearance angle, and the line of the cutting edge), the duration of the cut, the quality or hardness of the metal being cut, the depth of the cut, and the thickness of the feed or shaving.
5. The careful study of the capabilities of the machines and the analysis of the speeds at which they must run is to be made.
6. Defects or shortcoming in machines will be realized when the best methods of cutting metals are determined and the necessary modifications have to be made, if possible. Otherwise, replacement needs to be done at the earliest economic opportunity.
7. Systematization of many small details in the running of the machine shop, such as the care of belting, the proper shape for cutting tools, and the dressing, grinding, and issuing tools, oiling machines, issuing orders for work,  and a host of other minor methods and processes which may waste a machinist's time or machine time.
8. The care of the equipment is to be improved.

Machine Utilization Principle of Industrial Engineering - Prof. Ralph Barnes


1. Few people advocate using human labor to do work that can be done better and cheaper by machines.

2. It is suggested that the best manual method and the best combination of manual and machine method (mechanized) be developed and used as a basis for evaluating a proposed automated process.

(Restated as: Compare best manual method, mechanized method and automated method for each element of an operation and choose the best.)

3. If a large-volume fairly complex job is to be considered, a comparison would be of the estimated cost to do each element of each suboperation manually, or in machanized way, or automatically.

Ralph Barnes is the first PhD in Industrial Engineering. He wrote the popular text, Motion and Time Study.

Industrial engineers have to learn mechanization and automation that is engineering very well and use it in industrial engineering to provide increased support of machines to people to increase their productivity and standard of living.

The Definition of TPM

The Spread of TPM in Japan

How do TPM and TQC Differ?


The Basic Concepts of TPM

1. Maximizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness

2. Autonomous Maintenance
In factory automation, production workers do not have to operate machines themselves. These operators asked to oversee machines can do inspection of the automatic machines every day or week as per a plan and do routine maintenance. Specialist maintenance persons can act as equipment doctors, who periodically do expert diagnostic checks and do the required maintenance.

3. Small Group Activities in Maintenance
Similar to quality circles, zero defect movement groups and Jishu Kanri.

‘Jishu Kanri’ activities in the Japanese steel industry Small group activities being promoted by the industry as a whole
HIDEO SUGISAWA &KAZUO HIROSE
International Journal of Production Research, Volume 15, 1977 - Issue 6, Pages 523-538
The group activities called ‘ Jishu Kanri ’ by foremen and workers in the forefront of production has been actively promoted in the Japanese Steel Industry by establishing a committee for ’ Jishu Kanri’ activities in the Japan Iron and Steel Federation, with the positive cooperation of its member companies. Nearly 8 years have elapsed since the establishment of this committee, and during this period the ability and skill of the group leaders and members in managing group activities and their awareness of problems and solutions have been greatly improved, thereby contributing much to the improvement of quality, attainment of production targets, reduction in the production costs, and improvement of safety.
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00207547708943147?journalCode=tprs20

The Japan Iron & Steel Federation adopted the name "Jishu-Kanri GK) Activities" to generalize the uniqueness of small group activities in this industry. JK activities are defined as "continuous group activities in which individual workers voluntarily organize small groups, select leaders from among themselves, hold discussions on an equal footing, and with their leaders as the nuclei, take up problems at the workshop, set goals for the solution of the problems, and make efforts to achieve the goals with participation by everyone".

Workers' voluntary problem solving activities cover a wide range such as product quality enhancement, efficiency improvement, cost reduction, promoting safety at the workshop, and others. In 1983, ensuring work safety was the top of activity (27.4%). About 90% of the activities in 1993 related to four areas: 
efficiency improvement (30.8%), cost reduction (24.6%), ensuring work safety (19.6%) and product quality enhancement (14.6%).

Machine Work Study to Promote Machine Utilization Economy 


Machine Work Study was proposed by Narayana Rao to emphasize the need to study the machine and its engineering elements as part of industrial engineering studies. Machine work study is related to the machine or tool and its proper use like motion study is related to the man and his motions to do work with tools or completely with hands. The issues to be covered in machine work study are already structured in books on metal cutting and machine tools. The productivity dimension of the metal cutting theory has to be covered in machine work study and methodology is to be provided for doing machine work study. Operation analysis by Maynard and Stegemerten provides the basic framework for doing machine work study.
