"Analysis and improvement of current manufacturing flow and capacity of TN Italy production channel AA"

In this digital age, the company's competitiveness can be improved by optimizing production processes. However, successful introduction of new process adaption is difficult to achieve, the failure rate of new process is considerable, and it also involves high costs for the company. Therefore, the analysis and improvement of current production processes of steel ball bearing is necessary. Process engineering and planning is the determination of the manufacturing principles and operations required to produce a product on an industrial scale. In this paper, an approach for a clean and organized production line using pull system approach is presented. The steps include a needs demand analysis, a bottleneck analysis, and a time study using a representation of manual operations based on the development of SAP in the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). This study centred about the process engineering and scheduling optimization using theoretically available data and based on virtual methods are addressed in this work. Here, CHANNEL AA production line is considered and an attempt is made to apply various methods to improve the line.
