 |
Investment required is low, hence risk involved is low. Faster throughput |
|
Technologies used are easy and simple to understand , maintain and upgrade, losses will be minimal in case of breakdowns |
|
The hardware components are flexible and reusable and very adaptable to changes in product, market conditions etc. |
|
Labor resistance will be minimal since fatigue and drudgery of work get eliminated and they can be made to feel “involved” in the developments. |
|
Development cost will be a fraction of what it will be elsewhere in the world |
|
LCHA is equally useful for a process or a product |
|
It is beneficial to any type of industry or any size of industry |
|
|
|
|
|
The course is aimed at developing the right perspective and understanding of this attractive aid to competitiveness. Apart from clarifying the basics, case studies will be used from different types of industries to highlight the applications potential. It is expected to provide a systematic approach to LCHA with gradually increasing sophistication.
After discussing the basic concepts to form a strong foundation in LCHA, applications in three important areas – material handling, assembly & testing and inspection will be covered in problem- solving mode.

|
--:: WHO CAN BE BENEFITED? ::-- |
LCHA is universal, and useful for all kinds of industries.
(consumer durables, FMCGs, pharmaceuticals, metallurgical,
automobiles. etc.)
Hence, anyone having a degree or diploma in any of the engineering disciplines is expected to find this beneficial because of its multi-disciplinary nature.
Irrespective of the basic area of expertise anyone will find it applicable. |
