Document Summary
*will help in reducing muda in inappropriate processing, unnecessary transportation, and excess inventory: tolerances and specifications: involves combining engineering and statistical methods to achieve improvements in cost and quality by optimizing product design and manufacturing methods. This step corresponds to reducing the muda of inappropriate processing. Usually, quick-acting clamps that employ cam action, levers, wedges, and so on are much faster, provide adequate force, and are usually a good alternative to threaded fasteners. Redesigning part fixtures and using preset tooling may iii. eliminate the need for spacers or guide-block adjustments to the table position. iv. Use templates or block gages to make quick adjustments to machine stops. c: utilize the full capacity of the machine; also consider positioning one part while another is being machined. Physical layout is an important element of an entire production system that embraces operation cards, inventory control, material handling, scheduling, routing, and dispatching. The most important questions that an ie should ask is why:
