Abstract

Number of operations required to be done om a single workpiece results into huge set up time and manufacturing lead time. Milling machine is one of the most widely used machine on which number of jobs can be manufactured. Due to which the machine is overutilize so, any arrangement / tool / device which reduces its machining time is desirable. Milling fixture developed under this work helps to reduce set up time and manufacturing lead time. With proper study and implementation of work study and method study the bottlenecks in the workstations and operations. With aim to reduce worker fatigue fixtures proved to be accurate solutions. The present work focuses on minimizing lead time as well as worker fatigue. The cost-effective solution for product results into cost savings to the company. Productivity improvement enables company to withstands in the competitive market. Number of operations like milling, slotting, drilling is accommodated in a single fixture. The operations process chart / outline process chart contributes to decide time study implementation. Bottleneck is identified and removed with the successful implementation of milling fixture.
