Production Rate increase in Coating Section
Production Planning Intern
Found the current bottleneck of the layout, which was the coating section. Coating process uses the electricity of the particles and is related with the area of the product to be coated. There were two different products: long pieces and short pieces.They are all hanged to the same racks and dipped into coating baths that have a capacity of 3000 ampere. When the long pieces were processed, the capacity of the baths were almost fully used. Because short pieces have a smaller area to coat, the capacity of baths was not fully used when the same number of pieces were processed. Designed a new hanger type for the racks so short pieces can be hanged in pairs which lead to a significant jump in the production. Increased production rate by 70% in the coating section.
The old hangers’ and the new hangers’ photos are:
