Manufacturing Technology and innovation

 Training is very important for everyone in the industry, but in Industries we focus training to staff only and neglect workmen. Workmen require technical trainings but is recommended that they should be given training related to company's vision and mission. Different policies of the company should be clear to them. It is also recommended that if company has any certificate, they must be aware about that certificate also. How to give training to workmen? As in Industries education of workmen is low as compared to supervisors and managers, so it is important that training program for workmen should be well planned and should be give in mother tongue or local language so that they can maximum benefit from the training program.  When I used to give training to my workmen I usually prefer to give training in classroom and then if required I demonstrate topic on job place or shop floor. It is very important that we must understand the area where workmen is required training and for thi

 Industry 4.0 or I4 is the fourth generation of industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 is consider about automation and data exchange within the machine and the process it can be done through internet or intranet of the industry. First Industrial revolution started from Britain presently known as England. It was an era where goods production start from machines in place of hands. With the help of machines there was tremendous growth in production and quality as compared with hand. There was increase in steam and water power. Textile and iron industries was top industries at that time. First industry revolution started in start of 18th century. Condition of labour was very poor and labours were unskilled and working work was more than 12 hours and child labour was also in fashion. Industrial revolution started in different countries country at different time. Second Industrial revolution started at end of the 18th Century, where mass production started specially steel industries. Chemical

  Quantity Circle is a group of workmen working in same department or performing similar job. Quality circle have maximum of 5-6 workmen which is lead by facilitator who can be a supervisor or a manager. The main role of quality circle team is to find out the basic problems and solve them this problem can be related to production and quality improvement and safety related issues. The motto of quality circle is to increase awareness of workmen about the quality and solve the basic problem at their own level by this they feel very encouraged and moral of the operators will also increase. The position at Quality Circle teams and their responsibility are as follows: QC Admin or QC coordinator is at top most position for Quality Circle teams, his/her main role is to coordinate with all teams of quality circle and check their progress and boost them with positive energy. Coordinator also coordinate with QC forums and held presentation of his/her team and make all arrangements so that team ca

8D is a problem solving methodology. Which help to stop recurring of the problem and strengthen the process by finding and elemination of problem or issues. 8D focus on the improvement of Process and product. 8D represent eight disciplines or steps to solve the problem. It starts from D0 to D8, some 8D also include D0 in the sequence of solving the problem. We will also include D0 in this list so that readers understand complete views, but it's completely readers choice to use D0 in thier problem solving project or not. We recommend that readers should start with D1. 8D is the structural approach to solve the critical problems, by the use statistical analysis of the problem. Step0 : D0- Plan Step1 : D1 - Create team Step2 : D2 - Describe problem Step3 : D3 -  Develop containment points Step4 : D4 - Determine & Verify root cause Step5 : D5 - Verify permanent solution Step6 : D6 - Define & implement corrective action Step7 : D7 - Take preventive actions Step8 : D8 - Congratul

 To do any work we require a set of tools, similarly to maintain quality in the product and process we require some tools and these tools are called as Seven Basics Quality Control Tools or 7 QC Tools. These tools not only maintain quality in the industry but also help to resolve the issues or defects, with the help of these tools we can easily solve the problem and find root cause of the problem. These tools are called basic tools as these tools can be used by operators also, these tools don't require any expertise in statistics.  Before we learn about 7QC Tools, we should understand one important thing that we can't use all tools at the same time, each tools has its own uniqueness. For example to put nail on the wall we require hammer🔨  not axe. 7QC Tools are as follows: Check sheets Control charts Histogram Fish bone diagram Scattered diagram Pareto charts Stratification or flow chart 1. Check Sheets: Check sheets is online document which is used to check the quality or qua

 TPM is stand for Total Productive Maintenance. TPM is a system that increase the effectiveness of machines and create safe environment by the activity involvement of each employee of the company. This system is Top to Down approach i.e. to start TPM System initiation is taken by the head of the company, after this top management is involved in TPM activities then middle management and then the employees on the shop floor.  The objective of of tpm to increase the overall effectiveness of the equipment that is OEE by the actively involvement of all the employees. TPM is also lead to the continuous improvement in the company. In Kaizen individual or a function to continuous improvement where as in TPM each and every employee has common goal of continuous improvement. In simple words we can say that TPM is nothing but proper cleaning of machine and near by area and daily of the machine which lead to zero breakdown, zero rejection and zero accident. Total productive maintenance has eight p

  Kaizen is a Japanese word which means continuous improvement, this improvement can be big or small.  Kaizen is combination of two Japanese words “kai-” which means “change” and “-zen” which means “good.”  According to kaizen philosophy, each Industry has scope of improvement in each function or system of the industry and it is ongoing and continuous process. In English Kaizen mean "Change for Good" . In many manufacturing industries there is misconception that Kaizen is only related to increase in production and decrease in rejection, where as it basically include PQCDSM, i.e. improvement in  Increase in Production Improvement in Quality Decrease in production Cost Delivery of goods on time Safety of manpower and equipment Increase Moral of employees (it also include - reduce fatigue of employees).  To work on Kaizen project an individual or function can choose any of the above mention topic and follow PDCA cycle. Here we are going to describe small concept about PDCA cycle

 Quality Product is very important in any manufacturing industry it is just as oxygen for all living creators on earth, Quality is a life line of an industry.   In manufacturing, quality control is a process that ensures customers receive products free from  defect and meet their needs. When done the wrong way, it can put consumers at risk. A product is known as a quality product only when it satisfies various criteria for its functioning for the consumer. In addition to the physical criteria, there is also a service and time factor to quality. The same quality of physical performance should be available over a reasonable length of time. Hence time is also unnecessary aspect of quality. We cannot define the quality of product but we can say that, quality is the performance of the product as per the commitment made by the producer to the consumer or is the product is as efficient as required by the customer. We can also say that customer is the only one who can say or define that produc

First of all we should understand what do we mean by manufacturing, Manufacturing is a process by which raw material convert on finished goods on large scale. Common definition of manufacturing is the production of goods through the use of manpower, material, machinery, tools and biological or chemical processing or formulation. Manufacturing can also mean transforming raw materials into finished goods on a large scale, or the creation of more complex items by selling basic goods to manufacturers for the production of items such as automobiles, aircraft, or household appliances. For an example Bearings is manufactured in an industry which sell to an automobile industry, where bearings is mounted in vehicles.  In Manufacturing industries it is very important that there is particular method or process to convert raw material into finished required product. There can be number of sub process in a industry to convert raw material into finished goods.
