Pilot Production

PILOT PRODUCTION

DEFINITION ­

In mass production industries where complicated Product, Process or equipment are being developed , a Pilot production run leads to the better Presentation to the Customer, lower development costs, more efficient factory operation and earlier introduction of the Product

Product Life Cycle

New Product Development Product design information ­ Solid model development ­ Product review ­ Prototyping and testing ­ Mechanical drawing ­ Production tooling ­ Pilot production run ­ Mass production ­

­ ­

Characteristic ­

Pilot Production allows the refinement of processing steps to achieve the Optimal product Characteristic with the highest output for the lowest cost

­ ­

­

Pilot production can be anywhere from 10 pieces to 10,000 pieces to enable you to bridge the gap between prototype to full time manufacturing

­ ­

The pilot production is the final stage and prior to full scale Production

­ ­

Pilot production is the Simulation of Full Scale production

­ ­

­ ­

Pilot Production gives opportunity to minor, last minute changes to fine tune the Production

Feedback assessment and corrective action Pilot Production

Mass Production

PROCESS :

very unforeseen Problem like tool life ng the layout facilities Cpk study ction part approval Feedback rms Product specifications Assessment e the Tooling availability. & corrective fy the bottle neck, constraints

•Reduced variation •No stoppage of production •Customer satisfaction •Delivery and service action

Benefits ­

It is much less costly to identify and correct the problem

­ ­

At this point ,To identify the training required by the personnel performing the Production

­ ­

To know the available resources before committing resources for mass production

Benefits ­

Problem Solving tools to identify & describe the deficiencies detailed plan

­ ­

Statistical method(enumerative or Analytical technique) to analyze data generated during Pilot run useful for improve the production process

­ ­

­

Getting more process information from supplier on the lesson they learned from pilot runs

Benefits ­

To discover the any lesson can be learned Prior to mass production

­ ­

It identify the unforeseen problems like excessive material queuing, bottleneck and Line flow

­ ­

­

This activity includes identification of new skills, certification level and techniques required to perform the mass production
