Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to support a tiller manufacturing industry to find out the best layout for their machine shop so that the materials need to travel minimum distance in the machine shop and to find out the reasons that are obstructing them to meet the demand. The plant is designed to manufacture all the parts required for tiller. But currently most of the parts are outsourced. Due to this reason the parts currently manufactured in the plant needs to travel long distances in the machine shop. The company is not able to meet the demand for the last few years. So this paper proposes a method to improve the productivity by modifying the machine shop and other required stations.
