Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The oil and gas industry faces perennial challenges related to cost reduction, product quality enhancement, and operational efficiency.To remain competitive in the market, companies must optimize their production lead times, reduce costs, and ensure high levels of customer service.This study aims to identify and prioritize critical wastes in OCTG production lines to inform operational improvements.This research thoroughly evaluates the existing state of operations and identifies critical areas for improvement by utilizing a combination of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Borda Count Methods (BCM).The VSM provides a clear understanding of the complex movement of resources and activities in manufacturing and distributing products, making it easier to identify any inefficiencies.The BCM offers a systematic method to prioritize discovered waste according to its impact and severity.The study's findings expose crucial obstacles and inefficiencies in the production lines of OCTG, with waiting times and defects surfacing as notable areas of concern.By employing BCM, it can prioritize these concerns and derive valuable insights to inform strategic decision-making and operational improvements.The long-term goal of this research is to advance the current efforts of the oil and gas industry in enhancing production processes, reducing costs, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
