This document discusses various techniques for improving productivity, including automation, CAD/CAM, CIM, robotics, Shigeo Shingo principles, group technology, job rotation, and TQC. It provides examples of each technique and case studies on their implementation. For instance, it describes how a company called GEX improved profits 15-20% by automating sewing and cutting lines to increase productivity without adding resources. Another case study discusses redesigning production lines at a lens factory through process modifications. The document serves as a guide to selecting and applying different productivity improvement strategies.

4. PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT
• Increase output while input remains same
• Decrease input while output remains same
• Increase input resulting in a very large increase in
output
• Decrease input by a very large amount with a
resultant small reduction in output

5. PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT
TECHNIQUES
• CAD/CAM
• CIM
• ROBOTICS
• SHIGEO SHINGO PRINCIPLES
• GROUP TECHNOLOGY
• JOB ROTATION
• TQC

6. CAD/CAM
CAD
A software system that uses computer graphics to assist in
the:
• Creation
• Modification
• analysis of a design
CAM
Use of computer system to plan, manage and control the
operation of a manufacturing plant through either direct
or indirect computer interface.

7. COMPUTER INTEGRATED
MANUFACTURING
• CIM is the architecture for integrating the
engineering, marketing, and manufacturing
functions through information technologies.

8. ROBOTICS
• “A robot is a reprogrammable, multifunctional
manipulator designed to move material, parts,
tools, or specialized devices through variable
programmed motions for the performance of
a variety of tasks.”

9. SHIGEO SHINGO PRINCIPLES
Dr. Shingo Shigeo’s teachings can be classified
into the three concepts listed as follows.
• Just In Time (JIT).
• Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED).
• Zero Quality Control.

10. JIT
“JUST IN TIME”
• A philosophy of manufacturing based on
planned elimination of all waste and
continuous improvement of productivity.

11. SMED
SINGLE MINUTE EXCHANGE OF DIE
• It is one of the world class manufacturing
techniques. By implementing the Set up
Reduction, we can reduce waste time during
machining and hence we can improve our
production rate on that machine.

12. Zero Quality Control
Dr. Shigeo Shingo’s Zero Quality Control (ZQC)
techniques make use of the following
engineering principles:
 100 percent inspections done at the source
instead of sampling inspections
 Immediate feedback from successive quality
checks and self checks

13. GROUP TECHNOLOGY
• Group technology is a manufacturing
philosophy in which similar parts are identified
and grouped together to take advantage of their
similarities in manufacturing and design.

14. JOB ROTATION
Job rotation is a management technique that
assigns trainees to various jobs and departments
over a period.
Job Rotation is frequently used with new trainees
who are just entering the workforce. Trainees
gain perspective on various areas of the
organization. This provides an opportunity to
work with higher management and different
departments.

15. TOTAL QUALITY CONTROL
Total-Made up of whole.
Quality-Degree of excellence of a Product or
service.
Management-Act,art,manner of handling
controlling directing etc.
TQM is an art of Managing the whole to
achieve excellence.

19. CHALLENGE
GEX’s leaders determined they would need to
improve profits 15 percent to 20 percent
without adding resources in order to maintain
their leading position.
