Line feeding downtime reduction by implementing lean material handling techniques in automotive manufacturing

This paper focus on how well the connected material process flow system will bring the systematic application of the lean material handling pull principle in assembly plant and considering the multitude of different components feeding to assembly plant in a highly fluctuating customer demand is introduced in this paper. This method has been used for the in-plant logistics planning one of the leadingautomotive drive line productmanufacturing plant and shows that pull system is an efficient lean method for the in-plant logistics planning forthe mixed model assembly plant, which is mainly depends on the standardized work pattern in a highly disciplined way of managing the material flow.
