Abstract

The Singapore mold industry plays a pivotal role in the nation's manufacturing sector, contributing significantly to its economic growth and global competitiveness. This project aims to delve into the intricate process of mold manufacturing, from its initial stages to the creation of a finished mold, while concurrently addressing the optimization of job shop and floor shop operations. With a strong emphasis on precision and efficiency, the Singapore mold industry faces numerous challenges in a fast-paced global market. These challenges include the need for streamlined workflows, reduced lead times, and enhanced cost-effectiveness. To address these issues, this project will comprehensively analyze the current mold manufacturing processes, identifying bottlenecks and areas for improvement. By integrating job shop and floor shop strategies, this research seeks to devise innovative solutions that maximize productivity and minimize waste. The project will explore cutting-edge technologies, best practices, and lean manufacturing principles to optimize the entire mold production cycle. Ultimately, the goal is to boost the industry's competitiveness on a global scale, ensuring Singapore's position as a hub for high-quality mold manufacturing. This endeavor is not only academically enriching but also has profound implications for Singapore's industrial landscape, offers tangible solutions to improve mold manufacturing efficiency and contributes to the nation's economic growth.
