Lean production - assembly and test lines


Principle: Complete assembly by one operative in a continuous operation - single-lean

The operative pushes an equipment carrier in front of him on a roller belt. He carries out all assembly and testing steps himself. The individual parts are presented on replaceable trolleys at the individual workstations. Pre-assembly and repair workstations can be linked to the assembly line in the form of satellites.


Design:

The time scheduling and synchronisation (line balance) of the individual steps must be matched to one another when the line is planned. The ergonomic design of the workstations and the material flow are further decisive factors for the successful implementation of such a concept.


ENGMATEC scope of supply
  • Implementation of customer requirements
  • Realisation of the whole assembly and testing line
  • Project engineering and expansion of the workstations
  • Optimisation of the individual workstations and of the whole line


Advantages:

  • Each operative controls all the sequences in the line and also carries these out.
  • Breaks and the absence of individual operatives do not lead to the whole line shutting down.
  • No interruption to assembly at shift changes.
  • The supply of material does not lead to disturbances and interruption of the assembly process.
  • The individual workstations can be expanded differently. E.g. as assembly presses, screw driving stations, welding stations, greasing stations, testing stations, etc.
  • Flexible capacity. Quantities can be adapted to suit demand by deploying more or fewer operatives.
  • Simple line conversion. The line can be very quickly changed over for a different type of product by the appropriate design of the equipment carriers and workstations.
  • Material can be very quickly changed on the replaceable material trolleys.
  • The line can be very easily dismantled and reassembled in a new location.
  • The line can be extended and expanded.
Examples of stations:    
Overall line Assembly station with press Pre-assembly
Partially automated assembly station Screw driving station Inspection station
