Investigations on applying productivity engineering principles in export oriented units

Abstract

A Major challenge for the present manufacturing concerns that are exporting their products worldwide is to minimize their cost of production and manufacturing Productivity engineering principles are hence treated as an essential requirement in the export oriented units To enhance the product quality and customer service effective productivity techniques are ultimately to be adopted efficiently throughout the manufacturing enterprise Therefore analysis optimization measurement and monitoring of all the resources utilization are very much necessary Reducing the material cost machining cost assembly cost and labour cost ultimately minimizes the total cost of the product Process analysis and productivity optimization throughout the manufacturing enterprise calls for the implementations of effective productivity engineering principles by the management While considering productivity improvement the complexity of the process and products at various stages make the issue a serious one Multiple processes and products further make the productivity measurement and monitoring techniques more complex
