Work Analysis And Implement In Triangle Window Work Cell Of Vertical Press

With the ever increasing development of the automotive market, the manufacturers of automotive parts face to the more and more competitive environment due to the buyer's market. Nowadays, the domestic companies have the insistent requests of applying industrial engineering tools to pursue the better management and lower cost. Optimizing the production process, saving the cost and improving the efficiency are their general visions.Based on the case study of a famous manufacturer (AA) of automotive safety glass, this article attempted to use the work study tool to optimize and improve the vertical press production of triangle window.Firstly, the methods and basic tools used in this study are briefly described, followed by the analysis of current status by VSM and the corresponding optimization afterwards.Secondly, several improvements of the whole production unit, related to the layout improving, line balance and the ergonomic upgrading, are proposed and implemented for achieving the expected targets.Finally, the results are summarized and the future work is outlined.
