Abstract
With increasing demand in production,
industrial factories must need to increase their
potentials in production and effectiveness to compete
in markets. Therefore, the way to solve the problem
relating to the production is very important. This
study of plant layout is done in B. Shankara Sales
Organization, Agra which is a piston and piston ring
manufacturing company of two and three wheeler
vehicle. Throughout the study, the aim is to proposed
new layout to this company to increase their
productivity. In each workstation the processing time
is different and the longest time consumption is
workstation will be identified as a bottleneck
workstation. The time is taken by stopwatch of each
and every machine in the cell. In this study,
application of Computer Aided tools is introduced
which in this study is ARENA software. The related
inputs are going to be simulated with this software.
The goal of the thesis is to seek the best layout in
terms of increasing productivity rate hence proposed
to the company.
