Energy Conservation for a Paint Company Using Lean Manufacturing Technique

In this paper, a paint company is taken into consideration and using lean manufacturing techniques, energy conservation is achieved in its different manufacturing processes. There are several ways in which manufacturing organizations can decrease their waste while increasing productivity; one of it is by implementing lean. Several techniques for lean manufacturing such as Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Overall Effectiveness of the Equipment (OEE), Process Mapping and Value Stream Mapping are discussed throughout this paper, while Overall Effectiveness of the Equipment (OEE) for the dissolvers and the filling lines are also calculated. After going through the process map, value added and non-value added activities were identified. This helped to reduce energy.
