Overview on Kanban Methodology and its ImplementationLaukik Raut
Kanban methodology is very significant
philosophy which plays an important role in many
production units. In this paper Kanban methodology has
been reviewed and has been implemented on „Swing Lever
Assembly‟ of the Bajaj Steels Pvt. Ltd Nagpur. The Kanban
system involves the selection of two important parameters
i.e. the lot size and the numbers of Kanban used in the
process. The main objective of Kanban system is to
maximize the productivity of a unit and this is done by
reducing the idle time of the process. Kanban system is a
very cost efficient process if applied in proper manner.

Redesigning of Manufacturing Layout for Performance Improvements Using VIP Pl...IJESM JOURNAL
Plant Layout involves the spatial arrangement of equipment within the steel structure or building of a plant and considers the inter-connections through pipes and ducts as well as walks and vehicle transportation. An optimal layout has to ensure operability, adequate safety and an economic design. Industries have for many years been dealing with the problem of making batch production more efficient and responsive to changes in demand and technology. This paper presents a new and powerful concept known as Virtual Cellular Manufacturing (VCM). VCM helps in overcoming the problem of constant change in demand and part type by incorporating flexible production lines. The project ‘OPTIMIZATION OF PLANT LAYOUT’ is undergoing in PSG ROTARY MACHINE DIVISION, envisages optimize the plant area of shop floor using LEANCONCEPT.
Operational turnaround at auto components manufacturerAnirban Mazumdar
A project for an auto-ancillary client whose largest plant was running in losses even though demand from OEM customers were rising.We could help the team turnaround operations within a period of 4 months. Not only did they close the year profitably, they also delivered significantly higher volumes.
Dire situations call for smart solutions. In this case, a good diagnosis of the situation, identification of the right initiatives, meticuluous execution and ensuring sustenance delivered the results.

1. Case Study
Implantation of KANBAN in a company
belonging to the Automotive sector
A highly relevant FeedBackGround experience in operational
processes concerned a study for the complete improvement of
the layout of a large plant. With the aim of achieving the proper
management of the flow of material within the company in order
to increase productivity and space as well as workplaces, the
KANBAN project synthesized below is a specifically successful case
that changed both the physiognomy and efficiency of an entire
company.
Executive Summary Strategy/Approach
Our client had serious problems of space FeedBackGround’s contribution to this project was as
follows:
Loss of productivity (low OEE); operatives carrying Study of the plant cell by cell
out transfer of parts operations (frequential);
stoppages due to lack of parts Define an order of integration for the cells in
kanban
Productive cells with multi-product (various
references) involves changes in equipment and its Pricing and definition of data for each cell
preparation (rearrangement) (production, customer demand, nª of components,
units per packaging...)
Oversaturation of fork-lift drivers, cell stoppages due
Creation of new packing guidelines
to lack of internal transport: 4 fork-lift drivers en 4
warehouses, 2 of which supersaturated Free-up space in the warehouse and in each cell
Overstocking of component parts Definition of minimum stock and put an indicator
light into operation
Excessive fork-lift traffic and narrow aisles
Definition of new Kanban warehouse layout and, if
necessary, of the cell
Opportunity Results
It was advisable to study the company to see how it Project lasting 18 months (one full-time consultant).
runs and determine its weaknesses Ending April 2013. Current state: 50 % of project
New products in process of industrialization 250 m2 of productive plant space freed up so far;

Increase in productive space to enable participation
in new business opportunities Improvement in plant safety and elimination of

Ensure plant safety (excessive fork-lift traffic and
cramped space for movement) 30 % reduction in unplanned stoppages due to lack
of internal transport.
Prevent overstocking and improve rotational plant

Clear possibilities for short- and long-term
improvement of general plant OEE, especially as 125 increase in new references in production
