Productivity Improvement in a Manufacturing Industry by Using Man–Machine Chart Analysis

This work on man–machine chart is a clear and systematic analysis of the man and machine resources available in an industry. It also deals with the routing them in an optimized way to have increased productivity. This method is proven to be better and superior than the existing procedure by without making huge leaps in technology and not investing much more in the project. It should be confirmed that the proposed method does not cause fatigue to the workers. The improvement methods may include improvement in the output with fixed man and machine power, maintaining the output by reducing the man power and by reducing the process time of process for fixed man power. While making the time study of the process, bottle neck process should be taken in to the consideration. Since the improvement in the process prior to the bottle neck process does not take much effectiveness in the productivity.
