Context & Background.
At JK Files, we aim at becoming the Largest and the Best manufacturer of Files in the world. And to achieve this we need to
Build - World Class plants & best manufacturing practices to retain the Competitive edge & sustainable growth.
To Build De-skilled & Robust Processes with High Capability & Reliability.
Offer wider range of products with consistent Quality and on time Availability.
This can only be achieved by dedicatedly working on each fronts of the existing process & eliminating the wastes by using breakthrough technologies.
So we have targeted a massive redesign of our operations & the machineries. Since we are the leaders in manufacturing the files in the world, the technology is not easily available outside & we need to focus on each and every minute integrity of the process & design it such away that we are miles away from our competitors.

Value Stream Layouts
Objectives:• To reduce material movement• The machines to rearrange in an organised manner (nearer to the next
work station) enabling single piece flow• Indirect workmen engaged in material handling to reduce through
reducing the TOUCHES • Reduce the working WIP
Results/Benefits Achieved:• This Re-layouting activity was done across all the plants of JK Files
leading to a Monthly cost saving of Rs. 26 Lac and the micro indicators are summarized as follows:• Productivity per Man-day was improved by 18 %.• WIP was reduced from 13.5 days to 7 days• Material Movement was reduced from 460m to 240m.• 31% Saving in Floor Space • Throughput reduced from 7 days to 2 days.

Technology Infusion – Steel Hot Rolling Mill Upgradation
11 Confidential
Steel Hot Rolling Mill (HRM) Upgradation.
Objectives:• Steel Hot Rolling mill being the starting point of our internal supply
chain, consistency in steel (output and quality) obtained from hot rolling determines the operational efficiency in file manufacturing .
• In our previous process of hot rolling, we were losing substantial quantity of steel as scrap.
• The capacity of our HRM is 600 MT per month.• So as to minimize the wastages we have adopted the latest techologies
like Induction heating in Neutral atmosphere, Peeling etc.
Results/Benefits Achieved:• An Annual Saving in Raw material of 384 MT (Rs. 173 Lac) is being
achieved by minimizing the process scrap by Infusion of New Technology in the Manufacturing. The micro details of savings in discussed in the following slides.

Hot Point Rolling for Taper Files
Objectives: For Triangular files we need to have 1/3rd of its length in a taper form.
Previously this was achieved by Grinding process. Avg. 237 MT of material is lost in Grinding during point preparation
process. (which is not recoverable) Poor Dimensional consistency of files. Low productivity.

Technology Infusion – New Generation File Grinding machine.
20 Confidential
New Generation Files Grinding Machine
Objectives:• Grinding being the operation for Surface preparation for Teeth Cutting,
which requires good surface finish & accuracy to control the quality of cut being produced.
• In the present Grinding machine the material removal rate cannot be controlled in Microns, it is only designed for heavy material removal.
• Today we are using a Magnesite bonded grinding wheel which is going obsolete day by day. To upgrade the present technology we need to switch over to vitrified bonded grinding wheel.
Results/Benefits Achieved:• An Annual Saving of Rs. 32 Lac is achieved with the new design of the
machine & use of Vitried bond grinding wheel. The micro details of savings in discussed in the following slides.

New Generation File Teeth Cutting Transfer Line.
Objectives:• We were using conventional individual cutting machine for cutting
operation on different sides of the file, after each operation the files are manually transferred to the next operation resulting in higher foot print & WIP. Following were the major concerns in the earlier process :• Low Productivity & Low Machine Utilization.• Skill is required to set the machine properly.• Age old design.• High consumption of lubricating oil & spare parts.
Results/Benefits Achieved:• Productivity improvement by 6 times leading to an annual Saving of Rs.
39 Lac with the new design of the machine. The micro details of savings in discussed in the following slides.

29 Confidential
Robotic Hardening.
Objectives:• Previously we were using conventional MANUAL hardening process of
the files, where each & every file is hardened manually one by which requires a lot of skill for achieving the hardness & straightness of the files. Due to this below were major concerns in the manual process:
• Low Productivity & Low furnace Utilization.• Hazardous work Environment. (continuous exposure to temp. of
appx. 600 to 700° C)• Poor Quality consistency.• Monotonous work cycle.
Results/Benefits Achieved:• Productivity improvement by 5 times.• An Annual Saving of Rs. 125 Lac is being achieved with the introduction
of Robots in Hardening.
