Head of Department
Golden Dynamics (Pvt.) Ltd. is committed to produce ‘top of the range’ products in
its three units in Gujranwala. An assembly line is a manufacturing process in which parts are
added to a product in a sequential manner. The first assembly line developed by Ford Motor
Company between 1908 and 1915. To fulfill the demands, the company is focused to develop
the new assembly line. Before installation of Assembly line, workers were working on the
floor. Workstations were on different portions of Industry. There were ten workstations for
assembling the pump at different floors. They had no concept of time and motion study.
Workers were using manual tools. For this, the layout of assembly line has been designed.
The assembly line is divided into six workstations. By conducting time and motion study,
each worker has been assigned specific tasks. Once the assembly line is installed, the
bottleneck problem has been observed which then be removed by time and motion study and
redesigning the equipment. The assembly operations were performed five times to check the
effectiveness of the workflow. Before installation of assembly line, thirty six (36) pumps were
assembled daily. After installation, three times production enhanced.
Chapter 1: Introduction
Haji Ghulam Rasool Mughal laid foundation of Golden Pumps in 1950. Since its
inception, the company set its goal of supplying durable and reliable pumping systems to its
customers. Late Haji Ghulam Rasool Mughal believed in hard work, innovation and unique
customer experience. He handed-over the baton to Mr. Abdul Rauf Mughal (Chief
Executive), who carried the company with his exceptional skills while keeping the founder’s
goals and beliefs in sight at all times and placed the company at the top among the locals in
Pakistan.
In 2018, the company changed its name from Golden Pumps to GOLDEN
DYNAMICS (PVT) LTD. GOLDEN DYNAMICS continues to offer the unbeatable quality
products and great service that customers have cherished over the past 68 years. Our offerings
are the result of years of research and sheer hard work of a well-experienced team comprised
of high skilled, talented and dedicated engineers and worker who are always in pursuit of
maintaining the high standards of production and are relentlessly searching the best solutions
to enhance products quality.
1.1.1 Function:
This series of pumps are closed coupled self-priming pump are particularly suitable
for pumping water from deep wells. The deep-well self-priming pumps have the capability of
lifting water to maximum of 38 m.
The pump id placed on the surface with an injector immersed onto the well. The
delivery of water generates by the impeller is conveyed to the outlet, the delivery is sucked,
by means of a piping through the ‘venture system’ connected to the suction chamber, which
gives the necessary depression to the suction of the fluid where the injector is immersed in.
the fluid sucked by the injector gets mixed in the venture diffuser with the recycling fluid,
coming from the injector body, consequently the fluid pressure increases and it is sucked by
the pump through a piping.
1.1.2 Application:
Water supply to remote dwelling i.e. farm houses, general water supply, pressurized
water using pressure vessels, irrigation and industrial applications, garden watering and
general water transfer applications.
1.1.5 Motor:
Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (IC411), IP-54 Ins.
1.1.6 Installation:
Upon installation, always prime the pump body first before starting. The pump must
be installed with motor shaft in horizontal position.
Specialization of Labor:
Called "division of labor" by Adam Smith. If.1 this principle asserts that when a large
j,
job is divided into small tasks and each task is assigned to one worker, the worker becomes
highly proficient at performing the single task. Each worker becomes a specialist.
Interchangeable Parts:
In which each component is manufactured to sufficiently close tolerances that any part
of a certain type can be selected for assembly with its mating component. Without
interchangeable parts, assembly would require filing and fitting of mating components,
rendering assembly line methods impractical.
Work Principle:
It means that each work unit flows smoothly through the production line, traveling
minimum distances between stations.
Line Pacing:
Workers on an assembly line are usually required to complete their assigned tasks on
each product unit within a certain cycle time. This paces the line to maintain a specified
production rate. Pacing is generally implemented by means of a mechanized conveyor.

Assembly line is the heart of any production plant. Ransom E.Olds was the first to
introduce the concept of modern assembly line [4]. Further Henry Ford used assembly line for
mass production of automobiles and in his autobiography in 1922 he mentioned advantages of
assembly line [5]. The knowledge of productive of assembly line is very essential. Where
productivity is a tool to measure the efficiency of an assembly line. It is about doing the right
things. This concept is important to enhance productivity at micro or organizational level. A
Statistics Bureau of Australia said, “In a very general sense, the best way to think about
productivity is by thinking of production. You can have increased production from an
increase in inputs, you can have increased production due to a more efficient use of those
inputs or a combination of both of those things. In a growth accounting framework, simply
productivity can be measured by taking the ratio of output to one or multiple inputs. When
you decompose it, in a sense, productivity is actually the residual of that calculation [6].” To
secure market share every industry wants to enhance its productivity.
Lean manufacturing is a widely accepted philosophy in this regard which is about
getting more output with less input. This is achieved by time and motion study, the work
stations of assembly line, the way labour is distributed at those stations etc. This system
improving approach is called methods engineering [7]. Also by decreasing the input or just
increasing the output productivity is increased. In assembly lines mostly, all operations do not
take equal time. Operations which take longer time than others define the bottleneck of
assembly line. After identifying those some operations in must be installed in parallel.
“Parallel stations allow the reduction of the global cycle time of the system if certain task
have task times longer than the desired cycle time [8].” When applying all these
improvements ergonomics should be kept in mind. More comfortable job more is the
productivity. The aim of this project is to apply all this to enhance productivity of engine
assembly line.
Taylor in 1881 started Time Study at Midvale Steel Company, Philadelphia. At the
Saratoga meeting in June 1903 Tylor presented his paper, 'Shop Management’ before ASME
i.e. the American Society of Mechanical Engineering. It included scientific management
elements: time study, to standardize tools and tasks, planning department, slide rules,
implements for time saving, use of instruction cards, and giving bonuses for successful
performance, differential rates, and classifying products by mnemonic systems, routing
systems, and modern cost system.
The founder of Modern Motion Study Techniques were Lilian Gilbreth and Frank.
They improve the operation by eliminating unnecessary motions, simplifying the necessary
motions and purposed ideal motion to accomplish the task tor maximum efficiency. They also
developed the technique of filming motions to study them in a technique known as Micro
Motion Study.
Carl G. Barth developed production slide rule to determine efficient combinations
feeds for hard metal cutting and feeds, considering the depth of cut, size of tool, and life of
tool. Harrington Emersion applied scientific methods to Work on the Santa F Railroad and
wrote a book "Twelve Principles of Efficiency" in which he tried to inform management of
procedures for efficient operation. His effort resulted more than $1. 5 million. Henry L.Gantt
developed Gantt Charts that would measure performance while visually showing projected
schedules. He worked on a Wage Payment system that eliminated any chance for failure,
rewarded workers for above-standard performance, and offered a bonus for every worker
performing above the standard [16].
2.3. 5S:
5S is a system and way of organizing and managing workspaces to improve efficiency
by eliminating waste, improving flow and reducing process. 5S systems are common in
manufacturing, warehouses, offices and hospitals but 5S principles can be applied to any
workplace [17]. 5S is a system for organizing spaces so work can be performed efficiently,
effectively, and safely. This system focuses on putting everything where it belongs and
keeping the workplace clean, which makes it easier for people to do their jobs without
wasting time or risking injury.
The term 5S comes from five Japanese words:
Seiri
Seiton
Seiso
Seiketsu
Shitsuke
Sort
Set in Order
Shine
Standardize
Sustain
5S began as part of the Toyota Production System (TPS), the manufacturing method
begun by leaders at the Toyota Motor Company in the early and mid-20th century. This
system, often referred to as Lean manufacturing in the West, aims to increase the value of
products or services for customers. This is often accomplished by finding and eliminating
waste from production processes the 5S concept might sound a little abstract at this point, but
in reality it's a very practical, hands-on tool that everyone in the workplace can be a part of.
The 5S system is a lean manufacturing tool that improves workplace efficiency and
eliminates waste. There are five steps in the system, each starting with the letter S [18]. 5S
involves assessing everything present in a space, removing what's unnecessary, organizing
things logically, performing housekeeping tasks, and keeping this cycle going. Organize,
clean, repeat. Let's take a closer look at each of the parts of 5S.
Sort:
The first step of 5S, Sort, involves going through all the tools, furniture, materials,
equipment, etc. in a work area to determine what needs to be present and what can be
removed. Some questions to ask during this phase include:
These questions help determine the value of each item. A workspace might be better
off without unnecessary items or items used infrequently. These things can get in the way or
take up space. Keep in mind the best people to assess the items in a space are the people who
work in that space. They are the ones who can answer the above questions. When a group has
determined that some items aren't necessary, consider the following options:
For cases when an item's value is uncertain—for example, a tool hasn't been used
recently, but someone thinks it might be needed in the future—use the red tag method. Red
tags are usually cardboard tags or stickers that can be attached to the items in question. Users
fill out information about the item such as:
Location
Description
Name of person applying the tag
Date of application
Then the item is placed in a “red tag area” with other questionable items. If after a designated
amount of time (perhaps a month or two) the item hasn't been used, it's time to remove it from
the workspace. It's not worth hanging onto things that never get used since they just take up
space.
Set in Order:
Once the extra clutter is gone, it's easier to see what's what. Now work groups can
come up with their own strategies for sorting through the remaining items. Things to consider:
During this phase, everyone should determine what arrangements are most logical. That
will require thinking through tasks, the frequency of those tasks, the paths people take through
the space, etc. Businesses may want to stop and think about the relationship between
organization and larger Lean efforts. What arrangement will cause the least amount of waste?
Shine:
Everyone thinks they know what housekeeping is, but it's one of the easiest things to
overlook, especially when work gets busy. The Shine stage of 5S focuses on cleaning up the
work area, which means sweeping, mopping, dusting, wiping down surfaces, putting tools and
materials away, etc. In addition to basic cleaning, Shine also involves performing regular
maintenance on equipment and machinery. Planning for maintenance ahead of time means
businesses can catch problems and prevent breakdowns. That means less wasted time and no
loss of profits related to work stoppages.
Shining the workplace might not sound exciting, but it's important. And it shouldn't
just be left up to the janitorial staff. In 5S, everyone takes responsibility for cleaning up their
workspace, ideally on a daily basis. Doing so makes people take ownership of the space,
which in the long run means people will be more invested in their work and in the company
Standardize:
Once the first three steps of 5S are completed, things should look pretty good. All the
extra stuff is gone, everything is organized, spaces are cleaned, and equipment is in good
working order. The problem is, when 5S is new at a company, it's easy to clean and get
organized…and then slowly let things slide back to the way they were. Standardize makes 5S
different from the typical spring-cleaning project. Standardize systematizes everything that
just happened and turns one-time efforts into habits. Standardize assigns regular tasks, creates
schedules, and posts instructions so these activities become routines. It makes standard
operating procedures for 5S so that orderliness doesn't fall by the wayside.
Depending on the workspace, a daily 5S checklist or a chart might be useful. A posted
schedule indicating how frequently certain cleaning tasks must occur and who is responsible
for them is another helpful tool. Initially, people will probably need reminders about 5S.
Small amounts of time may need to be set aside daily for 5S tasks. But over time, tasks will
become routine and 5S organizing and cleaning will become a part of regular work
Sustain:
Once standard procedures for 5S are in place, businesses must perform the ongoing
work of maintaining those procedures and updating them as necessary. Sustain refers to the
process of keeping 5S running smoothly, but also of keeping everyone in the organization
involved. Managers need to participate, as do employees out on the manufacturing floor, in
the warehouse, or in the office. Sustain is about making 5S a long-term program, not just an
event or short-term project. Ideally, 5S becomes a part of an organization's culture. And when
5S is sustained over time, that's when businesses will start to notice continuous positive
results.
To help sustain 5S practices, make sure all new employees (or employees who switch
departments) receive training about their area's 5S procedures. Keep things interesting. Look
at what other companies are doing with 5S. New ideas for organization can keep things
improving and keep employees engaged [19]. The 5S System requires proper labelling and
signage to help workers find tools and supplies, ensure standards are followed, and
communicate changes in workflow and procedures [20].
Chapter 4: Methodology
In this chapter present case of the industry is described and details of all methods and
techniques applied during project work are discussed.
4.3.1. Observations:
Observation incorporates the examination of procedures for quite a while and
furthermore the behavior. It is the essential source to distinguish the problems.
4.3.2. Measurements:
It is about measuring time and motion study. Time of each operation was measured
before the installation of assembly line. Bar graph was created against these measurements
and further analyzed it.
4.3.2. Interviews:
Operation supervisors, operators and experienced were interviewed and asked
about their perspective about the installation of the assembly line. All the data was
recorded before the installation of the assembly line. Opinions of production manager and
design engineer were also collected.
4.4. Secondary Data:
Data obtained from different sources in an organization is called secondary data.
The secondary data represents the information obtained about the assembly line. The
results collected using all above methods are interpreted in this step [18].
4.4.1 Measurements:
Company only provided us the layout and we had no record about the time span.
However, in layout exact distances helped us to model the assembly line.
4.6 5S Technique:
5S technique is used to organize workspace which results in efficient, effective and
safe work. There are five 5S phases as followed:
4.6.1 Sort:
Keep the necessary items and all the unnecessary items have been removed from the
workspace. Cleaned up the workspace and the proper layout is designed for the assembly line.
The purpose is to reduce time loss looking for an item by removing unnecessary items. Keep
the working area clear of materials except for those that are in use to production. Check all the
items in location and evaluate whether or not their presence at the location is useful or
necessary. The following accessories used for the assembly line at Golden Dynamics (Pvt.)
Ltd.:
Pneumatic Guns
Test Board
Press
Boxes
Racks
Front Cup
Back Cup
Screw & Bolts
Impellers
Smoker
Mechanical Seal
Gasket-B
Adapter
Rubber Bush
The boxes are used for temporary storage, sometimes it is placed on the assembly
table and sometimes it is placed on the racks according to requirements. It holds the smallest
parts and tools.

(AutoCAD Model)
Prevent deterioration.
Keep the workplace safe and easy to work in.
Keep the workplace clean and pleasing to work in.
4.6.4 Standardize
All the required items should be according to standards. The stacking should be
available in racks and maintain the standards of all the parts. It tells about the condition of the
work place. It tells how we can correct abnormal conditions. There should be ease to
communicate and understanding. Standards must be set by management, but should be
changed according to environment. Companies can achieve great improvement as reviewing
the standards periodically, collecting and analyzing data on defects, and encouraging teams to
conduct problem solving activities. To ensure the repetition of the first three “S” practices,
Establish the procedures and schedules and everyone must know their responsibilities.
4.6.5 Sustain
Sustain is defined as on-going training and maintaining the established 5S standards.
The organization issues are removed by the implementation of solutions. Workers must be
properly trained. They must have the concept of preventive maintenance. All the parts in
racks should be properly inspected to prevent from time consuming. This step is critically
important one, without which 5S will eventually fail.
We designed the assembly line, electric panel and test bed and its all parts to
enhance the company productivity. Before installing the assembly line, the production
of the company were 30-40 pumps per day after that we enhance the pumps production
from 40 to 120 pumps per day. In our first attempt of assembling the pumps , only 54
pumps were made. In second attempt 67 pumps were made, in third attempt 94 pumps
were made, in fourth attempt 110 pumps were made and finally in fifth attempt we
achieved our goal and 120 pumps were assembled per day. Before installation of
assembly line, there were ten (10) workstations and they worked at floors and at
different portions of industry. Through assembly line, workstations reduced from ten
(10) to six (6). In assembly, our bottleneck was at three workstations i.e, first (press),
second (electric panel) and sixth workstations (test bed). So we redesigned these
workstations and eliminated all the problems regarding the assembly.
Figure 9 Before Assembly Line (Electric Panel)
Chapter 5: Results
First of all we observed the complete process of assembly and their flow. We
conducted time and motion study and recorded individual time spans of all operations.
To achieve the high production, we observed assembly line is necessary.

5.4 Improvement:
Our target is 120 products per day. To achieve our daily target, we removed
bottle neck from 1st, 2nd and 6th workstations. On first workstation we performed the
assembly of Pump Motor, Rotor, Rear Bearing Cup and Front Bearing Cup. We used
the pneumatic guns for tighten the screws and Tool Balancers for hanging the tools,
which reduced the operation time of 1st workstation. The old operation time of 1st
workstation is 9 minute. Which we reduced from 9 minute to 2.88 minute.
Our second workstation is Electric Motor Testing. We redesign the Electric
Panel and reduced the time from 10.5 minute to 2.23 minute. Six workstation is our
final workstation. We designed the modified test bed for final testing and reduced the
time of testing from 11 minute to 2.6 minute.

Chapter 6: Conclusion
Based on the findings and results, productivity has been increased three times.
The old production was 36 pumps which we increased 120 pumps per day. We
designed the layout of the assembly line. We made the assembly line flexible, which
can be used for complete serious of NOWA Deep Well Pumps. We improved the
transportation system and materials storage system of the industry.
To fulfil the demands, the company is focused to develop the new assembly
line. To show the validity of these results, a design of assembly line was presented to
director of industry before management.
6.2
[1] Future Recommendations:
[5] Different machines playing out a similar task must be checked and their number
must be reduced.
[6]
Rubber Sheet should be placed on the working table, which will protect the
body of pumps and reduce the sound.
[7] Duty on assembly line should be assigned to the trained worker to achieve the
daily target of the production.
[8]
During assembly operation no outside pump should be allowed, which will
disturbed the flow of the production.
For assembly, the parts should be placed in rack after inspection.
[9] Stocking should be more than the required target to achieve the daily
production.
[10]
Parts machining and inspection should be correct.
CCTV Camera should be available for checking the process.
[11] Trolley for transportation should be available while assembly to continue the
flow of the production.
Stocking should not be allow on working table, which will disturbed the flow of
production.
