Analysis and Optimization of Cycle Time for Instrumentation Valve to Improve Manufacturing

Cycle Time Optimization is identifying and implementing more efficient ways to do things. Reducing cycle time requires eliminating or reducing non-value-added activity, which is defined as any activity that does not add value to the product. Examples of non-value- added activity in which cycle time can be reduced or eliminated include repair due to defects, machine set-up, inspection, test and schedule delays. Reducing cycle time will have a significant impact on a company's bottom line when implemented. Cycle time reduction is provides tremendous benefit to a company. From the cycle time reduction the non-value added activity will be reduce or eliminated. The benefit from this reduction is following below: 1) Reduced cost 2) Increase throughput 3) Streamlined processes 4) Improved communications. 5) Reduced process variability 6) Schedule integrity 7) Improve on-time delivery Therefore following work will be carried out: 1. Study of manufacturing, quality assembly and testing of instrumentation valves. 3. Implementation of value stream map (VSM). JIT for manufacturing and assembly line. 4. Comparative analysis of existing with VSM implemented line. 5. Optimization of cycle time for instrumentation valves.
