Work improvement at an engine assembly line at car manufacturing plant

The project was carried out at ETM engine assembly line at a car assembly plant. The objectives of this project are to reduce cycle time in ETM assembly at EA21 workstation and suggest improvement technique to overcome the problem. The company produces many types of engines and the process of produc...
