As market competition increase in today's automotive industry, productivity can be improved by innovative activities such as main issue process improvement and improvement of defect rate for company survival. It is necessary to increase of output which means UPH (unit per hour) for better delivery and lower loss in production.
This study analyzes and evaluates the role and cycle time of each step of the production process at the site and presents the improved results through the improvement of the core process stage in order to improve productivity by applying industrial engineering techniques in the automotive vendor that mainly produces Hyundai and Kia 8-speed transmission parts only. The conclusion of the study are as follows.
1. C / T (Cycle time) is shorten 15 seconds in the CNC process which is the main core process item and UPH of CNC machine is increased from 1,046 EA to 1,150 EA
2. Productivity is increased about 9.95% and also the LOB (Line of balance) was improved from 67% to 75.5%
And also the improvement of productivity is needed improved C/T(cycle time) in main core process of automotive vendor and also need process change and know – how by experience for lower defect rate
