The document discusses HLL Lifecare Limited's efforts to automate the manual needle assembly process to increase productivity and reduce costs. It describes the existing manual process, issues with quality and output. An analysis identified opportunities to automate the process through a new machine. The proposed automated system is projected to increase output from 1000 to 7000 pieces per operator per shift, reduce manpower costs from Rs. 66 lakhs to Rs. 9 lakhs annually, and lower rejection rates. Challenges in implementing the new system around needle orientation, curing, siliconisation, vision systems and bonding are also summarized.

Managerial and Technical skills of supervisorsNabila Naik
Supervisors work closely with employees of any given business. While some supervisors act as managers and tell people how to do their work, others work as part of a team and supervise with respect, loyalty and a positive tone of voice. It is often the small characteristics that define a good and enjoyable employee supervisor. Rather than telling people how to work, a good supervisor serves as an inspiration and provides guidance for hardworking employees.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

25. Needle bevel orientation
The needle bevel is to be oriented along the flat side of the needle
holder. Initially, the job was performed using a vision system and
servomechanism to do the orientation. This system lacked
consistency. Later on, the system was replaced with a mechanical,
much simpler and reliable system.

26. UV curing
As per manual trial performance, 1.5
sec was sufficient to cure the adhesive
(which bonds the needle with the
holder). But, in real situation, it was not
achievable with the original design
concept. It was overcome by the
introduction of additional UV curing
system and changed four-probe system
to two-probe system. The optical fiber
probe angle and proximity to the curing
part were optimized and thus achieved
the required level of curing within 2.5
seconds.
Time for Profit
27. Siliconisation
According to the original design,
the siliconisation operation was
to be done using a wiping
mechanism, but it lacked
consistency and uniformity and
also, the maintenance of the
system was difficult. It was
overcome by introducing a
dipping mechanism, where the
part is picked up, tilted to 180o,
dipped into the silicon tank and
placed back to the fixture.
Time for Profit
28. Vision system
Providing of proper backgrounds, back lights / front lights
in order to get clear and consistent image acquisition.
Defining of the pixel limits within which the product is to
be accepted / rejected. Elimination of chances for distortion
of captured images due to machine movements.
Time for Profit
29. Gluing on holder
According to initial design,
adhesive was to be dispensed onto
the component in a vertical
position. But, the glue distribution
was not uniform and it affected the
cover bonding. Finally, the design
was changed to apply the adhesive
on the needle holder in a horizontal
position (after tilting to 900 by a
tilting mechanism). After this, the
component had to be placed back
properly onto the fixture. The
complete operation has to be
performed within the time frame of
3.5 sec, so as to match the cycle
time.
Time for Profit
30. Cap loading and wrong
orientation challenges
These problems were
overcome
with
the
introduction of suitable
detection and aligning
mechanisms.
Time for Profit
31. Curing of cover bonding operation
It was originally designed to employ UV curing system having 4- probe
system. Due to the transparency issues of the outer PP cover, the UV
penetration consistency was not obtained and cover bonding was not adequate.
Then, the whole system was changed to a UV curing chamber system. The
design of the chamber was a challenge to suit with the rotary table and
minimize the UV light exposure.
