IRJET-Productivity Improvement in Sub-assembly lines of Electric car using Lean Layout Concepts
This project mainly aimed to improve productivity by improving the assembly line set-up at automotive company. All necessary data are collected and necessary spaghetti diagrams, relationship charts and multi-operators charts are developed and analyzed to understand the current layout performance in terms of space utilization, material and operator flow, wastes etc. Lean layout concepts such as SLP and LLD approaches are used to redesign the assembly line based on developed flow diagrams and relationship charts. Design changes are recommended to eliminate the waste during assembly. Layouts are redesigned using AutoCAD software based on spaghetti diagram and relationship charts. By redesigning the layout and reducing wastes such as motion and transportations by lean concepts, these helped to improve space utilization by 46.80% for drive train assembly line and 44.40% for electric box assembly line and 45.45% for battery box assembly line. These approaches helped to improve productivity by 22.22%, 25% and 20% of drive train, electric box and battery box respectively. Due to these improvements, when the company works for 3 shifts, savings could be as high as Rs.1,24,000 per year. These layouts are recommended for implementation.

Abstract - This project mainly aimed to improve
productivity by improving the assembly line set-up at
automotive company. All necessary data are collected and
necessary spaghetti diagrams, relationship charts and
multi-operators charts are developed and analyzed to
understand the current layout performance in terms of
space utilization, material and operator flow, wastes etc.
Lean layout concepts such as SLP and LLD approaches are
used to redesign the assembly line based on developed flow
diagrams and relationship charts. Design changes are
recommended to eliminate the waste during assembly.
Layouts are redesigned using AutoCAD software based on
spaghetti diagram and relationship charts. By redesigning
the layout and reducing wastes such as motion and
transportations by lean concepts, these helped to improve
space utilization by 46.80% for drive train assembly line
and 44.40% for electric box assembly line and 45.45% for
battery box assembly line. These approaches helped to
improve productivity by 22.22%, 25% and 20% of drive
train, electric box and battery box respectively. Due to these
improvements, when the company works for 3 shifts, savings
could be as high as Rs.1,24,000 per year. These layouts are
recommended for implementation.

operator and material flow is more, which affecting the
productivity. Lean concepts mainly aimed to improve
productivity and reduce wastes (5). So SLP and Lean
concepts are used to improve productivity. SLP considered
as effective approach to redesign assembly line (7) (8) and
lean production system are used to reduce the waste times
in process (4) (5). All necessary data are collected and
analyzed based on collected data and developed diagrams.
Proposed layouts are developed and recommended for
implementation.

3. DATA GATHERING
1. INTRODUCTION
In every industry assembly line layout design is important
task (6), which are affects the productivity of the company.
A good layout can provide real competitive advantage by
facilitating material and information flow processes (3).
Layout involves the allocation of space and arrangement of
equipments in such a manner that overall operating costs
are minimized (3). Type of layout selection to develop
assembly line is mainly depends on production rate and
the demand (1), which decides the preferable layout type
(2). In present situation space utilized improperly and the
