Improving Productivity in Foundry Factories [Astech Technology Seminar 2023]

basic information

In the current context of soaring material prices and a shortage of human resources, the casting industry is required not only to strengthen its competitiveness but also to significantly improve productivity for profit and loss enhancement. However, the reality is that traditional improvement activities based on small groups have not yielded sufficient efficiency gains, and there is an urgent need for new approaches. Generally, the casting industry faces significant quality issues such as casting defects, and there are many tasks that are highly dependent on individual workers, making it difficult to achieve planned production. As a result, waste, inconsistency, and overburden occur in various areas, which are major factors contributing to the overall decline in factory productivity. This seminar will introduce production management methods in casting factories and explain how to stabilize production and connect it to productivity improvement.

Applications/Examples of results

This workplace is recommended for the following reasons! ● There is a lot of product inventory and work in progress, leading to waste in the factory. ● The manufacturing lead time is long, and we are managing by relying on overtime and working on holidays. ● We want to adapt to small-lot production of various types, but we don't know how. ● There are frequent defects, and the process is always chaotic. ● Knowledge transfer is not progressing, and we cannot break free from dependence on veterans.
