Abstract

This paper discusses Standardized Work Combination Table technique which targets decreasing the non value added activity included exercises and thusly prompting decrease of Labor. This technique is carried out in a moulding process of an automobile manufacturing unit. SWCT is an effective tool which can help companies to reduce the manpower without automation and without affecting the work by complete utilization of Man hours. Standard work combination tables shows exactly how all the activities of work are performed. Standardization of work includes TAKT time calculation, U-shaped lines, Kaizen, visual management and time analysis. Basic information about man and machines are recorded and analyzed to arrive at an effective and efficient utilization of the facilities without stopping the production activity. Further, this paper discusses the use and application of Line balancing techniques to meet required creation rate with least or zero idle time. Finally, the paper reports an answer for improve the profitability in an assembling organization by improving the line balancing.
