Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 工業工程與管理系碩士班 === 101 === The concept of Lean Operation is to pinpoint any unnecessary waste in a production flow so to ensure their eradication. ‘Waste”, by definition, should refer to any activities or behaviors that are not actually adding value to the product or process. Objective of this thesis is to locate bottleneck of current production approach for aerospace application product, which is known for its Low Volume / High Mix (LHVM) nature. In this study, we build a Value Stream Map (VSM) to facilitate the analysis, and lay out short term and mid-term development plan using Part Quantity and Process Route Analysis (PQPR) tool. Based on the result of study, PQPR is proposed to evaluate the importance of product and process. By implementing Lean Operation and VSM tool, we are able to locate the strengths and weakness in current system, then to achieve our goal of development. As a result of this study, the total cycle time is reduced by 26%, and the Key Performance Indicator as visual management tool is implemented in the cell to monitor the effectiveness of improved process.
