The kaizen card proposes replacing a manual grinding machine with a semi-automatic grinding machine to improve operator safety, grinding quality, cycle time, and ergonomics at a packaging workstation. Specifically, it suggests using a hydraulic cylinder instead of an operator applying force to grind circular products, which would regularize grinding, improve diameter accuracy, and remove pushing force from the operator. The proposed implementation date is December 15th, 2022 with effectiveness to be verified by January 20th, 2023.

* Irregular grinding * Improve the Grinding quality (Regular Grinding, Diameter accuracy). * Workstation is not ergonomic : The operator applies a pushing force to grind the part * Improve of Cycle time. * Improve of Ergonomics : A hydraulic cylinder applies a force to grind the part.
Initial State: Improved State:
Use of manuel grinding machine Use of semi automatic grinding machine for circular products
