Industrial Engineer Internship

Applied Medical Coatings, LLC (AMC)

Supervised by: Edward Robb                                                           February, 2014 - December, 2014

Objective:

The present facility is up for relocation due to the various issues faced presently. The advancement in technology has brought about the induction of many new and better performing machines. As a result the dependency of machines has changed too. This has caused an alteration in process flow of the product. As with any manufacturing or production based organization, Quality Control is of utmost importance, therefore adjacency for different departmental areas and processes flows have to be carefully and optimally addressed.

1) To relocate facilities from old warehouse to new warehouse. 

2) To optimize the process of production and production activity. 

3) To minimize the amount of cluttering.

4) To ensure compliance with department restrictions. 

Result:

1) Adjacency of restricted department is minimized by 15%, which able to avoid work-in-       process product mix with final product.

2) The cluttered layout is avoided, which able to save labor work and time by 15%.

3) Traveled time from one department to another is reduce from 6.15min to approximately     5.22min.

    Skills applied: Data collection, AutoCAD, Facility planning
