  Cellular manufacturing is a manufacturing process that produces families of parts within a single line or cell of machines operated by machinists who work only within the line or cell. A cell is a small scale, clearly-defined production unit within a larger factory. This unit has complete responsibility for producing a family of like parts or a product. All necessary machines and manpower are contained within this cell, thus giving it a degree of operational autonomy. Each worker is expected to have mastered a full range of operating skills required by his or her cell. Therefore, systematic job rotation and training are necessary conditions for effective cell development. Complete worker training is needed to ensure that flexible worker assignments can be fulfilled. Cellular manufacturing is a hybrid system that links the advantages of a job shop with the product layout of the continuous flow line. The cell design provides for quick and efficient flow, and the high productivity ...

  Lean Manufacturing a. Introduction b. 14 principles of Lean manufacturing c. types of waste according to Lean manufacturing a. Introduction      Lean is more a culture than a method, and there is no standard lean production model “a way to do more and more with less and less - less human effort, less equipment, less time, and less space - while coming closer and closer to providing customers exactly what they want" and then translate this into five key principles: 1.     Value - Specify the value desired by the customer. "Form a team for each product to stick with that product during its entire production cycle", "Enter into a dialogue with the customer". Voice of Customer is one of the ways to achieve it. 2.     The Value Stream - Identify the  value stream  for each product providing that value and challenge all of the wasted steps (generally nine out of ten) currently necessary to provide it 3.     Flow -...

 Hello Friends, Welcome to MAHAMANDI 2020 The word "Maha" means big and "mandi" means a place to buy and sell or in other words a "Bazar". Thus the name Mahamandi can be understood as a huge platform that provides the opprtunity to buy and sell.  Mahamandi is the socio-marketing maha event of NITIE.  It is  organised annually by  National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), Mumbai  is a one of its kind event where the students take the business to the street where it actually belongs. But this time Mahamandi has gone virtual just as all the other learning activities.  Mahamandi 2020 is named as "Swadeshi mandi". This time we are focussing on being "Vocal for Local" as a support to honourable prime minister's campaign- Vocal for Local. The slogan of Swadeshi Mandi is "Local ko global banana humari jimmedari banti hai". In pursuance of the Swadeshi Mandi slogan on this Independence day I present to you- "Rewadi...

Today we had a guest in our session at 9:00 am in the morning. It was the first time that Mandi Sir (Prof. T. Prasad) was present in the session but did not speak for more than 5 mins, I know the reason behind this- our preofessor respects the alumnus of the institute who are working for their own company i.e. he has deep respect for "Entrepreneurs". He always motivates us to become an entrepreneur but for that he emphasizes on improving our communication skills, and this guest was here to share his experience with us on the same. Nikhil has worked as an IT consultant at KPMG for a decade performing various roles and excelling at his responsibilities. In 2008, Nikhil tried to start his own venture but he failed, and today he knows the reason behind his failure, he explains "I was working on it part time." and now 12 years after that he has started his own company which provides travel services including holiday packages with a strong commitment towards customer sati...

 Dear Readers, I am learning "Business Communication" these days as a core subject at National Institute of Industrial Engineering, Mumbai. I come from an engineering background with good english but bad communication skills. Hence I try to improve my communication skills by writing blogs about what we do in the course work of Business Communication class. Our Professor Dr. T. Prasad, is highly enthusiastic person who puts his full energy to teach the students. The very first day he showed us some videos and discussed what we were supposed to do in the course work, but I'm sure none of us got his point exactly, we were expecting to read books and gain knowledge from theoretical aspect mostly, if not all . That day he kept talking about "Mandi sir" and his tagline is "Socho, Becho, Sikho". In the first class I understood one thing for sure- this guy is going to make us sell some product on streets/market etc. exactly like a salesman knocking doors in a ...
