Productivity Enhancement through Production Monitoring System

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates how real-time production monitoring systems can significantly reduce raw material overconsumption in manufacturing, leading to cost savings and improved efficiency.

Contribution

It introduces a methodology for analyzing production data to identify and control over consumption, achieving a 58% reduction in raw material costs.

Findings

Over consumption was reduced by 58%.

Real-time monitoring improved production efficiency.

Causal factors for over consumption were identified.

Abstract

A production monitoring system uses the real-time data while production is online. The real-time production monitoring systems are designed as means of auto data to the collection and monitoring the data via display boards. This study focuses on analysing the real-time production monitoring systems through trend analysis in production and over consumption of raw material controlling the over consumptions in a pen manufacturing industry. The methodology followed is through process flow diagram, a collection of data, analysis of data. Pre and post analysis was conducted to identify the factors responsible for over consumption and causal factors responsible for the over consumption were identified to reduce the cost of consumption by 58% with the introduction of production monitoring system.
