Productivity Enhancement by Using Lean Tools and Techniquesina Solar cell Manufactur Ingindustry

The objective of this work is to implement lean methodology in a solar cell manufacturing industry. The industry could not meet there requirement of the customers because of high cycle time nan individual process. High processing time occurs in the solar cell manufacturing industry tends to increase in lead time. Hence method study and time study are done and layout optimization has been implemented. Kaizen concept is introduced to increase the productivity of the plant. Due to the implementation of 5S and layout changes, unwanted excess movements the production line has eliminated leading to increased productivity.
