DEVELOPMENT OF FIXTURE TO REDUCE THE CYCLE TIME OF C-8 GRIDING MACHINE

Mechanical Engineering

ABSTRACT “What a difference a second makes” – a quote from an empowered employee. Just one second over a ten second continuous cycle can mean your line runs consistently 10% faster, the difference between comfortably achieving tight production schedules or continually being capacity constrained.[1] This work presents a new approach for the reduction of process cycle time and its impact on a company's competitive edge. Reduction in cycle time has been gaining significant attention in recent times. The shorter cycle times effect in higher consumer satisfaction, lower manufacturing rate, higher yield, and better potential given tool inventory and facility constraints. This research paper provides a brief review of core approaches related to cycle time and also describes a methodology for cycle time reduction in any manufacturing and automobile production industry. It includes the assessment and potential gains of the projected cycle time reduction methodology.[3]
