  CYCLE TIME -                Cycle time is the total time from the beginning to the end of your process or actual time required for a worker to complete one cycle of his process or cycle time is the time from when the operation begins to the point of time at which the operation ends. LEAD TIME -  "Lead time clock start when the request is made and ends at delivery." Example - A customer Request their production on November 6, the company receives the order instantly and delivers the product  on November  10.He actually starts working on the product only from the 8.Therefore , the lead time here is 4 days while cycle time is 2 days. Note- Lead time can never be less than cycle time for optimal operation at best lead time = Cycle time Takt time - Takt is German word which means pulse take time is the rate at which a finished product needs to be completed in order to meet customer demand.  Takt time is the maximum...

 What is the objective? To achieve zero inventory in APTICS dictionary. JIT is defined as," A philosophy of manufacturing based on elimination of all waste and continuous improvement of productivity." APICS-         " American production of inventory control and society" JIT is also defined as an approach with objective of producing a right part in right time  at right place. JIT was developed by TOYOTA in 1950.(1950-1970). 1980 - GEC ( General electric company ) Country -USA OTHER NAMES OF JIT- Toyota production system Lean production Stockless production Elements of JIT- Stabilize and level the MPS with uniform plant loading (Heijunka). Reduce set up time(Ex- Nascar pit screw) Reduce lot size Preventive maintenance  Reduce lead time Flexible workplace-Respect for people Require supplier quality assurance and implement a zero defect quality program (JIDOKA) QAT - Quality at Source M.P.S. - Master Production System Advantage of JIT-  Le...

Fuel-Injection System is vital to the working and performance of CI engine  This system serves the purpose of initiating and controlling the combustion to meet the demand requirements  Fuel is injected into combustion chamber towards the end of compression.  It is atomized as it enters under high velocity and the droplets get vaporized to form a fuel-air mixture. Functional Requirements of an Injection System:  The following requirements must be met by the Fuel Injection (FI) System:  Accurate metering of fuel injected per cycle to meet changing demand of speed & load. Precise timing of fuel injection in the cycle to ensure performance; power, fuel economy, emissions. Proper control of rate of injection to achieve desired heat release during combustion without knocking.  Proper atomization of fuel into fine droplets  Proper spray pattern to ensure rapid mixing of fuel & air  Uniform distribution of fuel droplets throughout t...

       5S is a methodology for organizing workplaces so that work can be done efficiently, effectively, and safely. This system focuses on putting everything where it belongs and keeping the workplace clean, which makes it easier for people to do their jobs without wasting time or risking injury. 5S is a workplace organization method that contains a list of five Japanese words i.e.  Seiri ,  Seiton ,  Seiso ,  Seiketsu , and  Shitsuke .         5S means, “ a place for everything and everything in its place " .Implementing 5S raises product quality and improves  work productivity , resulting in  lower costs  and  higher efficiencies .     It doesn't need any technical analysis and can be implemented in all types of companies, ranging from manufacturing plants to offices, small businesses to large multinational organizations and in both private and public sectors.
