Lean Manufacturing Application for Process Improvement in Pump Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

A Manufacturing defects or errors are always the key concern of any manufacturing and pumpmanufacturing industry. The Lean management is dedicated to the improvement of productivity,efficiency, quality and in general of business. Kaizen, 5S and Six-sigma remain the foundation of leanSix-sigma Management System. Those tools for cleaning, sorting, organizing and providing thenecessary groundwork for improvement and preventing the small errors and problems of machine, manand management as well as reduction of rework and variation with better process control. Now a day, allthe Pump manufacturing industry are moving the direction of Errors free production with higher safetyprovision. After applying Lean management, we can achieve better result as per production in cost andgood working environment with less human errors and cycle time reduction. Lean methodology alsoincreases better SHE (safety, health and environment) standard of any organizations. Sis-sigmaMethodology is basically used to reduction in variation, rework and give better Process Control. In pumpindustry, Pump defects can come from any of the unite operation and from the pump press. The Turningand Grinding operations often the source of defect. Such as pressure drop, mechanical issue, noise, lessdischarge, leakage are among the most mutual problems during pump testing.
