Enhanced Productivity through Standardized Work Cell

This paper would provide us with an overview of concepts like ‘Standardized work kaizen’, ‘Overall Equipment Effectiveness’ and ‘Structured On-The Job Training’ and its implications on manufacturing processes. This paper would also give an account of successful standardized work concept as applied to a valve assembly process and its effect on the Business Unit as a whole on various parameters. All the necessary steps, formulas and concepts are detailed out and explained in their respective topics.

Also, hypothesis test has been carried out to determine whether there was a significant difference in measurable parameters after replacing the traditional assembly cell/process with standard work cell.
