Automated compaction table / Ahmad Fithri Abd Samad and Rizman Shah Sulaiman

Purpose of this project is to find the best way to improve A320 Spoiler manufacturing process productivity by reducing process cycle time. Due to rate increase from 48 sets per month in 2016 to 56 sets per month in 2017, productivity improvement is required at Tooling and Layup process. Automation has been selected due to part of company KPI which targeted to reduce minimum 15% cycle time. Figure 1 and 2 illustrate the general process flow and process cycle time pareto. Figure 1: A320 Spoiler process flow (As attached). Figure 2: A320 Spoiler process cycle time pareto by process (As attached). Data shows manual compaction table during debulking process is the cause of high manual operation time during layup process.
