Bengaluru, Oct 8 (KNN)  To ensure productivity in manufacturing, it important to practice good manufacturing techniques so as to achieve zero defects, reduce cost, prompt delivery while maintaining a good safety record.

Towards this, M S Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies has organised a two day seminar on ‘Good Shopfloor Practices in Manufacturing,’ to be held on October 24th and 25th.

“Industrial experts from the field, including TVS, Federal Mogul and Weg India will be sharing their experiences, along with some of our own faculty who have had vast experience in this sector,” said Executive – Academic Relations, Ashwin T A.

On the need for such a workshop, “Productivity is the most important index in all activities.  In order to achieve excellence, shopfloor professionals need regular awareness training and hands-on sessions,” Ashwin said.

During the seminar, manufacturing excellence techniques will be conveyed through lectures, case studies, group discussions and interactive sessions, also touching upon problem solving techniques and quality management. 

As far as the take away from the seminar is concerned, participants will be able to apply the concepts of KAIZEN in shopfloor (practices that focus upon continuous improvement of processes in manufacturing); identify the seven types of waste; understand TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) and My Machine concepts; address quality related issues; develop PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) documentation and carry out Cpk (Capability process index) studies; and develop a road map for improvement of shopfloor practices.
