Item To measure the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of molding section at Servis industries LTD (SIL), Gujrat(UMT, Lahore, 2014) Zain-ul-abideen, Musab.M.Khalid, Irfan Haider Raza and Naqqash RazzaqOverall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is being used increasingly in industry. This thesis defines OEE and explores the purpose of this concept in modern operations. It discusses OEE as a total measure of performance that relates the availability of the process to the productivity and quality of the product. Therefore, the concept of OEE is appropriate to all operations containing plant and machinery. Research has shown that the most successful method of employing OEE is to use cross-functional teams aimed at improving the competitiveness of business. OEE - as a key measure of efficiency in production processes has the potential to improve plant performance and asset utilization. The results are most evident in businesses that approach production from a mindset of continuous improvement, since adoption of OEE systems needs to be complemented by a determination to address the key issues impeding optimal performance that are identified by the OEE approach This thesis provides a useful perspective and guide to understand the interaction of different elements of performance and help managers to take better decisions about how to run and improve their processes more efficiently and effectively. We have provided a very practical and real time method of calculating OEE using fully automated worksheets developed in Microsoft Excel and to further analyze the OEE data to extract maximum amount of meaningful information which can help in targeting certain areas for improvement to bring about an overall improvement in the industry. We are in no doubt that implementation of OEE system will result in dramatic improvement not only in the productivity in the Servis industries Limited but also it will promote a culture based upon Japanese Management System involving every single person in the organization’s progress as it is the essence of OEE system.Item TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) At Pak Elektron Limited (PEL) Pvt Ltd(UMT, Lahore, 2014) Atta-Ul-Waheed, Shahzaib Saleem, M. Rabeet sajid And Numan SaheraziItem To produce high mix products with same machine by eliminating non value added activities to reduce change over time by implementing SMED in Knitting department of INTERLOOP Faisalabad(UMT, Lahore, 2014) Moazam Hassan, Hasnain Nisar, Faizan Saleem and Suhaib Ahmed KhawajaChangeover time was the big issue for INTERLOOP’S knitting department and because of it they cannot achieve high mix products. We help to reduce changeover time by implementing “Single Minute Exchange of Dies”. They are using hit and trial method to change their setup to one product to other also they don’t have any standardize method to change setups efficiently. So that’s why their changeover time was very high and because of time constraint they also have troubles to achieve their daily knit socks requirement. When the time was to change the setup machine stops and downtime was very huge and that’s why production stops and which effects their lead time directly. We gave them solution which is implementation of SMED in their Knitting department. When we start’s working on SMED we analyze that the worker who involve in changeover did many extra activities and rework. The thing we do is to eliminate the maximum possible extra activities which are also known as Mudas. We standardize the whole changeover procedure gave responsibilities to those who involves directly and in directly in changeover. Due to these implementations we achieved our target which reducing changeover time and achieving high mix products.Item Implementation of work and method study in PEL industry(UMT, Lahore, 2014) SAIF SHAFIQ and TAYEEB HASSANThis World is now all about competition and with competition it becomes impossible for an organization to earn profits without increasing production rate, giving better quality and reducing the rejection rate of the manufactured products. All these things plays a very important role for customer satisfaction and financial conditions of any company. Company not doing these things is on low profits and it decreases the quality of a product Finally when all work is done a production run was made in order to make sure that the improvements being made does actually work or not and are they actually increase the production rate and providing the desired results. Due to lack of process performance in deep freezer assembly line we choose our project on work and method study. Firstly, we observe the layout of shop floor which is highly product type. We suggested them to combine different task in a station which were perform separately. In this we combine only those activities which are highly linked. In this way, process performance increased as cycle time of the process reduced. We suggested them to use automated U-type conveyor which reduce the labor and production time. We also suggested automated roller conveyor in pre heated chamber. In safety standard we suggested use of gloves, glasses, face mask, ear muffs and helmet.Item To reduce downtime in the sugar plant by applying six sigma techniques(UMT, Lahore, 2014) Faez Rasul and Qasim RahimItem HVAC system design of a commercial building(UMT, Lahore, 2014) Mohsin Raza, Azeem Tariq and Aftab AhmedItem Tool enhancement by PVD coating drills its effects and analysis(UMT, Lahore, 2014) Adeel Abbas and Shahum Bin SarfrazIn this project we use drills, milling cutter and turning insert with PVD coating. We used coated and uncoated tools to see the difference among them. This will show us which tool life is better than the other. This will also show us which tool is more efficient and effective than the other. Like in drilling tool coated with (TiAlN) Titanium Aluminum nitride hast better efficiency than the others same like in milling TiAlN has better efficiency than the other coated and uncoated tools. But in turning insert coated with (TiN) Titanium nitride is better than the others because insert coated with TiAlN is hard and ductile it breaks but insert coated with TiN do not breaks. The purpose of doing this to find out which tool coating can be the better option for us to use.Item Diagnostic study of supply chain management in master garments (Pvt) Ltd)(UMT, Lahore, 2014) Abdul Muneeb, Hammad Azhar, Abdul Hye Abid and Muhammad Shahid AminItem Quality function deployment sample product (laptop bag)(UMT, Lahore, 2014) Noor-Ul-Huda, Abdul-Rehman and Abdul-WahabItem Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)(UMT, Lahore, 2014) M. Salman Afzal, IfraimShahid and Awais KhanBusiness ventilating may be given by an assortment of supplies running from low strength independent frameworks to the expansive assembled up focal frameworks of a few thousand ton limit. Extreme destination is to obtain and use a cooling framework that will give the most suitable execution regarding capital, working, substitution and support costs. It's the architect's/HVAC engineer's obligation to guide and prompt the best choice. HVAC frameworks are of incredible vitality to structural configuration endeavors for four fundamental reasons. 1. To begin with, the achievement or disappointment of warm solace endeavors is normally specifically identified with the achievement or disappointment of a building's warming, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) frameworks. 2. Second, HVAC frameworks frequently oblige considerable carpet space and/or building volume for gear and appropriation components that must be suited amid the outline process. 3. Third, HVAC frameworks require huge capital speculations. 4. Last, however not minimum, the HVAC framework is in charge of vast bit of building working expenses.Item Improvement in yarn quality with the help of root cause analysis(UMT, Lahore, 2014) Waseem Khalid, Syed M.Najamul Hassan and M.HussnainHaiderSpinning is the process of changing of fiber into yarn. The spinning mills includes many processes like cotton mixing, carding, combing, drawing, winding. Winding is the final process in spinning mill where the yarn of small quantity is wound into a big package known as cones. The important aspect in all departments is to remove basic defects to improve yarn quality. In blow room there is improper mixing, in spindles there is speed variation issue, in moisture room there is insufficient supply, and in mixing there is no defined method. Root cause analysis is lean manufacturing tool by using this we remove all these errors. By doing this the proper mixing improves, moisture standard maintained and by proper opening yarn quality can be improved. The drawback of basic errors that we find can reduce the fiber length and it reduces the operating efficiency of the whole process. This leads to reduction in quality of yarn. The aim of the proposed work is to implement the root cause analysis and thus the quality of yarn improved.Item Eliminating the unnecessary operation in the production line to change the die design of under shock cover of CD-70(UMT, Lahore, 2014) Naseer Ahmed and Zia Ur RehmanItem Assembly line efficiency improvement using value stream mapping(UMT, Lahore, 2014) HAFIZ MUHAMMAD ABBAS AMIN and HAFIZ MUHAMMAD UMAIR BARIOur report wishes to present a strategy used to create an image about the informational and material flows of products and services. In this report, value stream mapping (VSM) is applied in textile unit i.e Stylers International (Pvt) Ltd. located in Lahore. This factory deals with Denim. Value stream mapping is applied by identifying Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Six KPIs are identified and then all work is carried out in identifying them and in second phase efforts are applied in improving these KPIs. KPIs identified are 1) Transportation 2) Lead Time 3) Waiting Time 4) Work in process 5) Defects 6) Efficiency. After identifying these KPIs, Value Stream Map of current scenario of factory is developed based on data collected regarding these KPIs. By drawing the value stream maps of Basic Jean assembly line non-value added (NVA) operations were determined and then they were eliminated in the improved case. Lean principles are applied in determining loop holes and solutions are presented. Proposed best solutions of all KPIs are reproduced according to the Lean approach. Results are quantified in comparison with current state data. After all KPIs are reproduced and reset then again Value Stream Map is drawn that map is termed as Proposed Future State Map. It is shown that efforts on effective use of resources with prevention of waste in their source increase value added (VA) operations and also efficiency. This study also emphasizes the VSM’s important role in the textile sectors’ assembly line.Item Efficiency improvement of combustion engine(UMT, Lahore, 2014) M.Ammar HussainThe purpose of doing this project was to increase the efficiency of engines.Various experiments were done to find optimum amount of hydrogen gas.Different materials were used as electrodes to find out which material is more efficient,longer life and less harmful for the environment.While doing experiments different kinds of problems occured i.e burning of electrodes,burning of rubber,non-suitablity of materials and much more.Item Reduction of waste by using value stream mapping in Maqsood Faisal paper and board mill(UMT, Lahore, 2014) RAMISHA FATIMA, MUBEENARIF and HAMZA TARIQPurpose of this report is to inform about the lean tool value steam mapping. It itself is not a strategy but imply different strategies in this tool for the improvement. It is used to differentiate non-value added activities from the value added activities. It creates an image about the material flow and information flow in products and services. Many other organizations are using this method because by using this method they come to know about their problems and improves the processes by several techniques. It includes information flow from top management to workers and from the suppliers to the customers. As lean has been developed it is being implied in different industries for the improvement of the material and service flow. In this report value stream mapping is implemented in a paper industry located near kasoor named as maqsood faisal paper and board mill. For this purpose firstly the six key performance factors are identified and their performance is identified and secondly different process is carried out to for the improvement of these factors. These key factors are 1) efficiency 2) waiting time 3) lead time 4) work in process 5) defects 6) transportation. When these KPI's are identified the data regarding them is collected. The current state map is being drawn and non-value added activities are being identified and are eliminated for the purpose of improvement. Lean principles are applied, solutions are presented and future sate map is drawn which shows all the improvements made in the current state map. All the plans made are then implemented to achieve the future state map. Results are quantified and compared with the current state map. By the implementing of this technique the non value added activities are eliminated and effective use of the resources and removal of the wastes is done so that the value added activities are done effectively. This report also emphasizes the VSM’s important role in the paper production.
