Abstract

The objective of this research is to improve the throughput of the plant streamline N based on the methods of industrial engineering, e.g. job analysis, fishbone diagram and work study, for increased productivity. In this case study, bottlenecks diagnose and continuous productivity improvement is studied. The new production system has been designed and compared with the present throughput. The results show that new throughput of plant streamline N significantly increases from 140 to 202 per day.
