Productivity Improvement by using Time Study: A Case Study on Mid Body Frame Manufacturing

Abstract

This abstract elucidates the pivotal role of industrial engineering principles in the meticulous optimization of intricate processes inherent to the manufacturing industry. The comprehensive integration of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Information Systems, Process Capability, and DMAIC principles serves as the bedrock for orchestrating the synergistic alignment of labor, materials, and machinery while concurrently fostering advancements in quality and productivity. The focal point of the research centers on a case study investigating the temporal intricacies entailed in the manufacturing of Piaggio Ape 3-Wheeler mid-body frames within the confines of Budhale Stampings, a cornerstone entity within the multifaceted Budhale & Budhale Group of Companies. The methodical implementation of a proposed methodology at Budhale Stampings has yielded not only a substantial annual financial gain of 21,84,000 but also a discernible 14% augmentation in overall productivity. These commendable outcomes substantiate the efficacy of the adopted approach, underscoring its latent potential for enduring influence on the company's fiscal performance and productivity metrics. Consequently, this research serves as a scientific elucidation of the pivotal role played by innovative methodologies in the optimization of manufacturing operations, thereby furnishing nuanced insights for organizations poised to derive tangible and quantifiable benefits within their production processes.
