Improving the Tube processing Layout : Including new orbital cutting machine

Blomberg & Stensson is the sheet metal and tube processing company. This master thesis is done in tube processing facility. Tube processing facility consists of tube cutting, deburring, bending, end forming, bending and pressing machines. This facility produces bended tubes. Bended tubes are mainly used in automobiles (flow of liquids such as fuel and lubricants). Blomberg & Stensson bought a new orbital cutting machine from Transfluid (Germany). The new orbital cutting machine is going to be installed in tube processing section. This Master thesis focuses on tube cutting (both new, old and current), bending and deburring machines. This thesis is aimed to develop a layout of tube processing section by including new orbital cutting machine. Suggestion on raw material storage and suggestions on material allocation to current and new cutting machines are also included in this master thesis. To design the layout a systematic layout planning technique is considered and google sketch up application is used to develop the 3d layout designs. After developing layouts, selection of a single suitable layout is done by a scoring matrix (concept from product development). Scoring matrix is to evaluate the available solutions. After selection risk analysis is made to predict the risks. An activity list is made facilitate a physical transformation of the facility.
