Batch –PGCHRM-7
SMS ID – 103382
Components: 3-connector, one base, one top, 4 big screws, 3 small screws, 1
guider, 1 wire holder
Assembling of components:
In this process flow diagram - flow of material (Black arrow) and flow of
information (Red arrow) works in the same direction.
• Assembling:
Variety required = 1
It is given that over time both the product variety and volumes are
expected to grow. We have not considered time required for quality check
because we have assumed that these are done by random checks done by
inspectors separate from manufacturing line.
Ideal scenario – assuming that the factory works 24 hours a day. However,
there will be some time loss due to various circumstances like
maintenance and setup times. Therefore we consider 20 working hours a
day. For that, number of connectors per day = (20*60*60)/6 = 12000
6. Employee related issues will be very less 6. Employee related issues might be
high. Strike will bring whole process to halt.
8. High initial investment required. 8. Can start with less fixed cost
investment.
1. IS 1293 : 2005
• After sourcing
• After assembling
• And finally once the product is finished.
After sourcing the raw materials, the components can be inspected if they
are of the IS standard of screws etc. that we are using. During assembly we must
know that the right screws are going to the right hole. The robotic arm of our
automated process will take care of the big and small screws.
S. No Description
1 Move the connector base at machine holder
2 Fix the 3 connector on the plastic base
3 Move the connector base to next Assembly station
4 Put the cable clamp/wire guider in its proper place
5 Fix the cable clamp/wire guider using the screws
6 Move the connector to next Assembly station
7 Place the cover on the connector base
8 Align the cover to the base
9 Put the four big screws in the base and cover to fix them together
10 Package the connector in cellophane and cardboard box
11. Store the connector
Now of 24000 capacities, we are using 20000 and the rest 4000 was put
for expansion purpose.
