Project overview

• Address inefficiencies caused by unbalanced workstations, non-ergonomic setups and lack of standardization on the NACS production line.
• Focus on material and tool handling optimization, reducing operator fatigue and improving overall line efficiency; includes 5S improvements.

Main tasks and methodology

• Perform workstation balancing: time studies, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and cycle time analysis to identify bottlenecks and imbalances.
• Evaluate and redesign non-ergonomic workstations; propose and implement adequate material and tool supports and standardized work sequences.
• Implement 5S and other Lean tools to improve material flow and reduce waste of motion and time.

Expected results and deliverables

• Delivery of a balanced production line with ergonomic workstations and standardized work instructions.
• Measurable improvements including optimized production flow and a target increase in efficiency by 20%.
• Documentation of time-study results, VSM, proposed workstation layouts, implementation plan and training materials for operators.

Candidate profile

• Industrial Engineer or equivalent with interest/experience in ergonomics, process optimization and Lean manufacturing.
• Skills in time studies, VSM, cycle time analysis, ergonomics assessment, data analysis and practical implementation of 5S.
