Increase profits by one million pounds per month

PROBLEM STATMENT

7 factories sharing a building, each of them has the same workstations, after defining their process and measuring their capacity and production volume, a total of (111) unit from workstation 1 were produced in 3 months; and (5.5 M) unit from workstation 2 in the same period; workstation 1 and 2 for the 7 factories occupies area of 242 m2. With the available resources of manpower and number of machines, the 7 factories were capable to produce (170) unit from workstation 1 and (7 M) of workstation 2. As a result, manpower utilization for workstation 1 was (56%), and manpower utilization at workstation 2 was (64%).

OBJECTIVE

·        Increase manpower utilization at these areas by 20%.

·        Reduce number of machines from 19 to 11 .

·        Reduce spaces dedicated to these workstations by 92 m2.

·        Set production planning protocol.

·        Decrease operational Expenses by 1 M EGP annually.

·        Increase planned work / total work.

METHODOLOGY

·        Setting number of facilities that needed for proposed project.

·        Setting process flow.

·        Creating job description for each position.

·        Creating new hierarchy (org structure).

·        Setting production planning protocol.

·        Setting work instructions for centralized area.

·        Design Layout.

·        Design Needed Templates to track the whole process.

·        Layout preparation, and machine setup.

·        Calculate space savings by this project.

·        Select workers of central wax area.
