Evaluation and Optimization of Packaging Line Performance

Optimization of Packaging Line Performance is a book that detailed on the optimization of the production system and can be applied in all the packaging lines of different products. It is about optimizing packaging lines using the best engineering tools to find the problems of the system and carefully analyze the system behaviour to discover the bottlenecks, which hinders the maximum utilization of the available production capacity of the system. It deals with discovering the causes of external downtime, internal downtime and machine failures. All these are carefully done with the application of Pareto Analysis and Fishbone Diagram. Then followed by the calculation of Operational Performance Index (OPI), Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Machine Efficiency, V-graph, MER, Line Efficiency, Core Machine. These will help you to determine the bottlenecks in the system. It should be followed by the application of Design of Experiment and Simulation to find the best approach to solving the system problem. It also stresses the important application of best maintenance Strategy stated and continuous improvement and the development of the tool to keep track of improvement made over time
