The Challenge?
Mahindra needed an innovative way to train operators on new variants, while performing this training ‘live’ on-the-line – which caused unnecessary and increased costs as a result of the frequently experienced production delays, inefficiencies and rework
How did we do this?
By implementing ODIN Workstation throughout the entire line.
Other benefits?
- Operators avoiding incorrect assembly, even on complex variants through visual, dynamic work instructions;
- Additional failsafe’s are part of the default system features, aiding operators in ensuring that the correct parts are always used and are correctly positioned;
- Live ANDON displays current production targets, line progress and status above the production line, ensuring full line transparency;
- Easy-to-use, no code interface facilitates easy continuous improvement adjustments.
Results
- Visual & text based work instructions, assisting even entry level operators;
- Enhanced operator guidance for existing and new products;
- Increased training speed for new operators;
- Fewer defects;
- Less scrap;
- Less time to change processes and operations to improve assembly/manufacturing sequences.
