Manpower Utilization in the Powder Coating Production of a Powder Coating Company

Abstract

Among the protective materials, powder coating is one of the leading and most innovative segment of paints and coats. It started in the 1950's as electrical insulations, continued to grow and expand up to the present, being used in the architecture industry. This study aims to provide manpower utilization in aluminum production line, to increase its capacity and to provide proposed production plan and production layout. Different techniques such as work sampling and time study were used. This resulted to identification of the need for additional eight (8) in powder application, additional of two (2) booths for powder application and workstation re-layout to address the critical path in each workstations.

Sequence of Selected Quality Management Tools to Analyze Qualitive Problems of Products

“…The powder coating process is the method of painting with finely ground paint particles that do not contain solvents. The powder coating process consists of charging electrostatically dry and well ground pigment particles and resin and successively sputtering them onto objects that are electrically grounded (Rustico et al, 2015). The powder, whether charged or sprayed, adheres to the surface of a given item until it is melted in an oven at elevated temperature into a homogeneous coating.…”

Determining the Suitability of Various Surface Treatment Methods with the Control of Blasting Time with Respect to the Quality of Powder Coating

“…With its environmentally friendly production of metal parts, it is an appropriate solution especially in the environment of agricultural and forestry activities (Bulgakov et al, 2018;Zastempowski and Bochat, 2020). Among other protective material treatments, powder coating is one of the leading and most innovative segments of paints and coatings (Rustico et al, 2015). The main advantages of powder coating include its 100% recyclability, but it is very hard to reach in reality (Fu et al, 2011).…”
