Pareto Chart of Operation Performed

Why Create a Manufacturing Cell?Casting Moves and Operational Frequencies for Grind, Weld, 

Inspection Loop

Grind, Weld, Magnetic Particle Inspection account for 53% of total operations performed on a casting!

20% of Moves are between Weld, Grind and Inspection

Can We Combine The Grind, Weld & Inspection Operations? 

YES!!!!!!

Layout of Manufacturing Cell – Current State

Problems with Layout1. Wall Separating Work Centers2. Electric/ Air/Gas lines need to be 

moved3. Can only work from 1 side of 

welding table4. Need to keep welding/grinding 

dust separate5. Excess Welding Equipment6. Lack of Storage Space

Layout of Manufacturing Cell – Phase 1

Changes Made to Layout1. Breakdown Wall and install extra 

tall movable welding curtain.2. Move Gas/Air/Electric Lines to 

support future layouts.3. Cut welding tables in half place in 

center of work area.4. Remove excess welding 

equipment.5. Install equipment needed to 

perform grinding, welding and magnetic particle inspection operations without moving part.

Goal : Reduce WIP (work in process) by improving the storage, inventory control and tracking of active orders.

17

Goals of Visual Communication Board:

•Facilitate communication between Weld Upgrade and Inspection.

•Gives Foreman the ability to have castings “jump to the front of the line” for expatiated orders.

•Track casting movements in and out of work centers.

•Buffers used as visual queues  to establish shop floor space discipline.

•Limit the amount of work entering inspection.

28

Benefits From Three Projects‐ Exploit Constraint

Exploit Constraint‐

1. Ability to gain 42% capacity at bottle neck by redefining Job Roles to do work in parallel.

2. Possible  142% increase in capacity if additional Inspection equipment is purchased.
