| Since the rapid development of economy and fierce competition of market, manufacture cost control, service quality, speed of new product leading-in, on-time delivery raise up to higher level. Different level of these items determined directly the company’s development speed and future. Different companies will select the suitable ways to improve their competitive power base on their own features. But in fact, most kind of waste are happened due to lacking of experience in facilities planning market change and government policy change. The manufacture cost goes up and service quality drop down and loss the competitive advantage. So it is the most meaningful to make a whole picture of company’s development and facilities planning in order to face the challenge of market change, eliminate the unnecessary process in production and logistic and reduce all kinds of waste in whole system.In this article, we use one assembly line from company B as reference and PGL(Planning Guideline abbr. PGL) as methodology to analysis and discuss the lean concept implementation in facilities planning. In order to improve the productivity and reduce the inventory of production, we will start form the completed value stream, use lean line design concept to analysis the current production line in order to find out the best proposal for facilities planning of future.First, introduction of current production process, using process flow analysis and move elements analysis to collect the production and logistic data in order to find out the problems in current assembly line.Second, introduction of PGL method and implementation in facilities planning. Focus on VSD, LLD-Mockup and FOL methods and using these methods to improve the current assembly line. Try to find out the solution and do feasibility study as well.Third, using PGL method analysis result to rearrange the current assembly line and tracking the actions’ result, confirm the actions’ effectiveness. |
