CASE STUDY: LEAN MANUFACTURING IMPLEMENTATION IN THE ELECTRONICS FACTORY

Presenting work done by:

George Mitsas, Program manager "Lean Manufacturing Implementation“ at KLEEMANN

Chrysavgi Danaktsi, Lean Manufacturing Implementation at KLEEMANN

Lean manufacturing is a systematic method for the elimination of waste within a manufacturing system.

Lean also takes into account waste created through overburden and waste created through unevenness in work loads .

Working from the perspective of the client who consumes a product or service, "value" is any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for.

Lean is centered on making obvious what adds value by reducing everything else.

Goals : ➢ Controller assembly positions redesign➢ Precabling lean flow assembly line➢ Operating Panels lean flow assembly line➢ Design of a new Testing Area➢ Kanban implementation

Value Stream Mapping : Before

• Order Throughput: 9,2 days

• Production replanning has

heavy influence in

productivity

• Need of space for storing

semifinished parts

• Many transfers of parts to

different positions

Value Stream Mapping : After

• Order Throughput: 1,5 days

• Faster production planning

absorbs fluctuation in

demand

• 33,61% less space required

• Less transfers of

semifinished parts

Results

• Order Throughput: from 9,2 to 1,5 days. (83,70% improvement)

• Fluctuation in demand is not transferred to production

• 33,61% less space required

• Less stock thanks to Kanban

• Less paperwork

• Simple visual inspection of production area

• Improved quality

• Improved productivity

• Continuous Improvement Culture

THANK YOU!
