Improvement and Research of Lean Production in Car-Seat Assembly Line

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article analyzes the car-seat assembly line in one company which has several problems such as productivity shortage, long production cycle and high inventory costs. Based on Leap Production, this article introduces how to improve the car-seat assembly line with Value Stream Mapping Analysis, Kanban Pull Production Management and Process Flow Analysis. The research results show that the Take Time and production cycle reduces by 36 seconds and 11.602 days respectively, and the production efficiency increases by 189 sets per day, which all save the labor and inventory costs.
