3. Benchmarking similar precision industries for Process innovations & technologies

4. Trouble shooting of process limitations & propose new methods / tooling solutions / secondary operations

- Lead time reduction & Capacity optimization

- Smooth flow, De-bottlenecking

- Breakthrough improvements

- Per day per machine output

- Number of new processes

- Cost of operations

- Changeover time reductions

Movement Mfg : Engineering solutions

1. Process optimization

2. Engineering solutions as alternates or improving efficiency on various secondary operations carried out after manufacturing operations (Deburring, chips removal, finish improvements)

- Annual Process Reviews

- Secondary process effort reduction & efficiency

- Number of process improvements

- Leadtime / Temp manpower reduction for secondary operations

Movement Mfg : Shop floor Management

1. Capacity Mapping & Gap Analysis. Action plans for enhancing capacity / developing alternate production sources. To bring in methods to map the Std time / Production loss / Changeover requirements / Handling multiple variants

2. Monthly Production scheduling (Shop floor Planning)

3. Have control on Inventory as per the fixed norms (Shop WIP norms). Prevent accumulation of faulty / non moving components. Control on ageing of workorders and quick rework clearance

4. Employee engagement for production alignment, Quality control & safety adherence. Also engaging them in Small group activities, improvement drives

- Adaptable capacity creation

- Alignment to PPC monthly plan

- Inventory / WIP / Workorder control

- Alignment %

- Inventory Value





- Ageing Orders > norms

- No of SGAs, Improvement activities

Movement Mfg : Quality

1. Perform Root-cause-analysis for repeat defects based on subsequent stage customer feedback & market return feedback

2. Projects for Engineering change request, design upgradations – tracking of milestones,

3. Identify quality parameters for Treatment processes & establish proper SOPs

4. Establish SOPs for finish (Turning & Machining operations)

- Completion of Mkt reduction initiatives

- Completion of ECRs & documentation

- Reduction in Mkt returns

- Reduction in Quality feedbacks from Assembly (Subsequent stages)

Movement Mfg : Alternate source / Materials

1. Benchmarking with competitor product / precision Industries on the materials being used.

2. Finding Suitable sources of materials indigenous to avoid import dependency

3. Coordinating and carrying out the trials for alternate materials / alternate sources – Process establishment, tooling suitability etc

- New Raw material sources

- Alternate material establishment

- Cost Savings through alternate raw materials / alternate sources

Movement Mfg : Preparation for Mass Mfg

1. Coordination with R&D;, PED Tool design & Tool Mfg for mass production establishment of New Movement / Components

2. Proactive development of Magazines / loading units / specific tools coordinating with Maintenance / External partners

3. Participating in the component design review to make a suitable design for Manufacturability
