Productivity Improvement at Assembly Station Using Work Study Techniques

This is intended to study the cycle time and existing method of different work stations and suggesting improved method for the same so as to reduce the cycle time and to improve productivity .During the plant visit and discussions made with the proprietor it was found that the inefficient time associated with the assembly area is more. Hence the assembly section was selected for work study. The importance of thist work is directly related to the reduction of the inefficient time and increasing the productivity. The new approach of studying the operations by Video work study techniques is the first of its kind in Hubli. The advantages of this project lies in the improvement of the productivity by reducing the cycle time, smooth flow of components for assembly, reducing the worker fatigue, suggesting new methods and installing it.
