This presentation discusses a project to improve the manufacturing layout and efficiency of a sheet metal industry. It provides background on sheet metal manufacturing processes and applications. The current manufacturing layout is modeled in ARENA simulation software. The project aims to develop an improved layout using 5S lean manufacturing concepts and model it in ARENA to compare efficiencies. Visual work instructions for the layouts will be created using VKS software. Preliminary results show the improved layout increases production by over 30% with reduced wait times. The project provides learning around the importance of layout optimization and lean manufacturing principles.
