Description
Summary:In recent years, Kaizen methodology has been widely used to improve the activities in the manufacturing systems. The improvements achieved by applying Kaizen are small, but at some point, evaluated over long periods are beneficial to organizations. In this regard this article provides optimization strategies by using Kaizen methodology in order to improve the painting process of the plastic parts (bars) and to ensure a growing in cadence from 67 vehicles/hour to 75 vehicles/hour. A real case study from a vehicle company is analyzed, new ideas to improve the quality of the painting product are provided and the financial impact of the improvement proposals is presented.
