Förslag till förbättringar av materialhanteringen kring packningslinan hos Spaljisten AB
The purpose with this report is to give structure to the storage area betweenproduction and packaging at Spaljisten AB in Åseda. The purpose is also to givesuggestions for improvements of work tasks and thereby simplify and improve thematerial handling at the packing process.The background of the task is that Spaljisten AB is going to increase theirproduction and thereby they also need to increase the packing rate of theirproducts. They will manage this by installing a new automated packing line andincrease the efficiency of the old manual one. The theoretical background ismostly obtained from literature which contains relevant facts for our report.The storage area has been studied visually in order to search for improvements oftoday?s layout. We have also performed a frequencestudy of the workload of theserviceperson who runs the material handling at the packing process. We havecompared our frequencestudy to a similar study made earlier by Göran Tinglöv.The analyze of the frequencestudy and other observations that has been made areshowed under ?Analys? where you also can see the calculations that has been done.The frequencestudy and the report made by Göran Tinglöv are also analyzed here.The headline ?Resultat? shows the suggestions for improvements that we havebeen working on. The suggestions are founded in small improvements of workingroutines, increased use of today?s layout and improved working instructions.The results of the frequencestudies, and the comparison between them, indicatesthat there is a lot of time to save by improving previously mentioned items. Bothstudies show that the operation time (the real, value-adding work time) onlyrepresents about 50 % of the total available work time.
