WORLD CLASS MANUFACTURING

World Class manufacturing

 World class manufacturing is a


collection of concepts, which set standard
for production and manufacturing for
another organization to follow.
Japanese manufacturing is credited with pioneer in concept of world-class
manufacturing. World class manufacturing was introduced in the
automobile, electronic and steel industry.
World Class manufacturing
Techniques
Make to order
Streamlined Flow
Smaller lot sizes
Collection of parts
Doing it right first time
Cellular or group manufacturing
Total preventive maintenance
Quick replacement
Zero Defects
Just in Time
Increased consistency
Higher employee involvement
Cross Functional Teams
Multi-Skilled employees
Visual Signaling
Statistical process control
World Class manufacturing

The main parameters which determine world-class


manufacturers are
 Quality
 Cost effective
 Flexibility
 Innovation.
Implementation steps for WCM
 Reduction of set up time and in tuning of machinery: It is important that organizations are
able to cut back time in setting up machinery and also tune machinery before production.

 Cellular Manufacturing: It is important that production processes are divided into


according to its nature, with similar nature combined together.

 Reduce WIP material: It is normal tendency of manufacturing organization to maintain high


levels of WIP material. Increased WIP leads to more cost and decreased WIP induces more
focus on production and fast movement of goods.

 Postpone product mutation: For to achieve a higher degree of customization many changes


are made to final product. However, it is important that mutation conceived for the design
stage implement only after final operation.

 Removal the trivial many and focus on vital few: It is important for organization to focus
on production of products which are lined with forecast demand as to match customer
expectation.
Principles of World Class
Manufacturing
 Implementation of just in time and lean
management leads to reduction in wastage
thereby reduction in cost.
 Implementation of total quality management
 leads to reduction of defects and encourages zero
tolerance towards defects.
 Implementation of total preventive maintenance
leads to any stoppage of production through
mechanical failure.
Aspects of World Class Manufacturing

 Industrial culture area


 Market/client area
 Product development area
 Operations area
 E-Performance area
