A Work Study for Upgradation of Plastic Product Manufacturing Unit

Abstract: This paper discusses about the project on work study of plastic product manufacturing unit.The factory is well renowned for its plastic products .This unit is present at Electronic Zone, Hingna MIDC ,Nagpur .This factory has plastic injection molding machine for product manufacturing .In the project ,we will study examine ,investigate about the existing ways of doing work. We are going to do systematic recording and critical examination of existing working structure ,plant layout ,management ,allocation of work to workers ,way of completion of work from taking delivery of raw materials upto delivering finished products. We are using principles of Industrial Engineering which comprises work study,method study ,work measurement ,plant layout, material handling ,ergonomics to study the existing ways of production in the industry. Our purpose of studying the existing way is to find out loopholes in the current process and to eliminate all unnecessary operations and waste .Again, We are identifying non-value adding operations while investigating all operations processes .This study will guide us to discover new ways of doing work with developing and applying more effective methods to reduce cost, increase overall productivity and efficiency.
