Abstract
Consistency and on timely delivery are among some of the factors that can keep a customer loyal and committed to a manufacturing industry. Almost all manufacturing facilities need to use production scheduling systems to increase productivity, reduce production costs and time. Most manufacturing industries invest huge amount of money to manufacture and supply products on time in order to meet customers demand and objectives but due to unforeseen disruptions, these objectives are difficult to achieve. In Real-life, production operations are subject to a large number of unexpected disruptions that may invalidate an original schedule. Being able to cope or react to these disruptions determines a company’s out-put and profitability. Productivity expression and simulation models are employed to assist in determining operational characteristics and also by comparing results from undisrupted system with that which is disrupted. These proposed models are tested on different tile manufacturing industry lay-outs in CMR and it is demonstrated that the leading source of disruption varies with different industry-layout and geographical regions. The study revealed that, the most common cause of disruption are power failure, machine breakdown, advert whether and employees absenteeism).This can be concluded from an industrial engineering point of view that, disruption during tile manufacturing is the main cause of low productivity or out-put in CMR tile manufacturing industries.
