Abstract

To sustain in this competitive globalized industrial environment, a company needs to increase productivity by reducing or eliminating the idle and/or downtime, improving the working methods, standardize the time as well as enhance the overall capacity planning.

By using this technique, we can find the non-value added activities, Method Improvement, Off-Lining activities and Off-Loading activities, unnecessary movement of the operator at the work-station etc.
