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 pump manufacturing 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 lean Six-sigma Management System. Those tools for cleaning, sorting, organizing and providing the necessary groundwork for improvement and preventing the small errors and problems of machine, man and management as well as reduction of rework and variation with better process control. Now a day, all the Pump manufacturing industry are moving the direction of Errors free production with higher safety provision. After applying Lean management, we can achieve better result as per production in cost and good working environment with less human errors and cycle time reduction. Lean methodology also increases better SHE (safety, health  and environment) standard of any organizations. Sis-sigma Methodology is basically used to reduction in variation, rework and give better Process Control. In pump industry, Pump defects can come from any of the unite operation and from the pump press. The Turning and Grinding operations often the source of defect. Such as pressure drop, mechanical issue, noise, less discharge, leakage are among the most mutual problems during pump testing.
