| Since the beginning of the new century,great changes have taken place in the new industrial revolution and information technology.The manufacturing industry,which represents the cornerstone of the new industrial revolution,is changing greatly in the way of production,the form of organization,the models of business and the production process.Faced with the opportunities and challenges,the electronic processing and manufacturing industry has to solve some urgent problems like optimizing the production process and improving production efficiency.Jabil Circuit(Guangzhou)Ltd,Jabil Incorporation in short form,is the biggest oversea processing and manufacturing base of Jabil Group.This paper mainly studies the Variable-Frequency Drive Products of Jabil Incorporation.Firstly,by studying and analyzing the current production process of the Variable-Frequency Drive Products,the author tries to find out some problems in the process: long time in the changeover of SMT,high storage in the station of SMT and wave soldering,serious waste of human resources in assembly line,etc.Secondly,by using cause-effect diagram and causeeffect matrix,the author analyzes the reasons for the above problems from humans,machines,materials,method and the environment.The reasons are mainly as the following: imperfect changeover line,irrational process design,and the poor flexibility in production line.Thirdly,based on the theories and methods of production optimization,the author puts forward some strategies in optimizing the production process of the Variable-Frequency Drive Products.from the aspect of personnel,to strengthen the staff skills training;From the aspect of machine,it is proposed to strengthen the maintenance of equipment and introduce automation.In terms of method,ECRS method is used to eliminate process waste.Environment,improve production line layout;Through specific actions to solve the main problems,such as redesigning the material preparation area,program call automation,guide rail width adjustment automation,strengthening equipment maintenance to shorten the line changing time;Reduce the WIP inventory of the product by introducing the air rail,redesigning the bilateral plug-in,and optimizing the test process;By optimizing the layout of the assembly line and changing from the linear production line to the "U" production line,the realization rate of the inverter product assembly line is obviously improved and the waste of human resources is reduced.Finally,the expected effect of the optimized production process is analyzed with the company’s production index.The optimization of the production process is one of the important methods for the enterprise to enhance its competitiveness.It can efficiently shorten the production period,reduce the waste in the procedure and improve the quality of the products.Not only do the study on the production process optimization of Variable-Frequency drive products in Jabil Incorporation guide the industrial products,it will also provide some help in the production optimization for both domestic and foreign counterparts. |
