How Mahindra reduced training time by 60%, while saving costs, reducing risk and improving on efficiency
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
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
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

By introducing, optimizing and streamlining digital assembly line processes, Mahindra reduced WIP by 50%
The challenge?
Ever increasing costs associated with introducing new variants and/or models to the production line, as a result of facility inefficiency, scrap and rework – with additional delays and costs associated in operators who require on-the-line training
Results
- Time from concept to end-of-line production speed increased
- Visual and dynamic work instructions providing easy integration onto the line and better understanding of product and sequences for operators
- Fewer facility delays and improved OEE on new variant introductions
- Reduced scrap and rework rates
How did we do this?
- By implementing ODIN Workstation and ODIN Linewatch throughout the entire line
- By implementing ODIN Documentation to ensure one point of data access
Other benefits
- 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 transparenc
- Easy-to-use, no code interface facilitates easy continuous improvement adjustments
