Lead Time Reduction In Camshaft Manufacturing
Abstract: This project is aimed at lead time reduction in camshaft value stream. Camshaft is an A class component which is an integral component of the diesel fuel injection pump. It is made up of forged steel or cast iron material. It consists of cams which operate the plunger of a fuel injector. Through this project we aim to reduce the response time, space optimization, delivery fulfillment, improve flexibility and inventory control by use of value stream mapping and other lean production tools. This project also leads to reduction of number of associates, floor space and material movement by a considerable amount.
Keywords: Camshaft, Value stream mapping, Lean production tools
