Engineering For Improved Productivity in Manufacturing

Engineering For Improved Productivity in Manufacturing
- Glenn Stevens, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia has recently been quite vociferous in linking Australia's future manufacturing success to improved productivity
- Worldwide, first world countries all face the same issues when competing with the low cost third world countries
- I believe that in an effort to cut costs, many manufacturing companies have created inefficiencies by reducing or completely eliminating their Engineering capabilities in the area of engineering drawings and systems
- I often see rotable spares, improvements and projects being hand drawn, “back of an envelope” sketches or the worn parts being given to a tradesman with the instruction to “make a new on of these”
- Typically – the trades do their best to guess the unknowns, they generally accept that - “this is the way of the world” - and (to their credit) they generally “make it work”. Very likely with suitable help from maybe an angle grinder, gas axe, some form of on the job adjustment
- Lets not go into the potential for problems caused by the “knock on” effect of parts being “force fit”
- Initially companies who reduce their Engineering capability may not see an immediate impact because typically the existing process will run on momentum. There are drawings and systems already in place and being used by people who understand them
- Just as a driver does not notice that the brakes on a car are getting progressively softer - there is often no immediate impact
- However – over a period of time these inefficiencies become accepted and as personnel leave and new personnel enter the company – the current way of doing things becomes accepted as “the norm' and the previous system progressively dies
- Typically the inefficiencies which result from operating in this manner are hidden in the overall cost of production and contribute to a general reduction in Productivity – by reduced “Machine Up Time” together with increased maintenance costs
What Can Be Done ?
- Whilst in most cases the ideal solution is to have engineering and drafting resource “on site”, the reality is – It's not going to happen
- To overcome these problems - I believe that functions such as engineering drawings for rotable parts, process improvements and projects can be effectively outsourced
- CAD drawings and 3D modelling provides greatly improved visualization plus internet access and communication mean very easy integration and availability of functions
If any of the above points hit a “raw nerve” - maybe it's time to start looking for a contract engineering/drafting company who can provide “A Better Way” to manage these functions
