Executive Summary
For any firm to sustain itself in a competitive market it should be operationally strong
in both front end and back end. Specifically, if a company wants to achieve higher
sales target then their back end production system should be equally efficient.
The project “Improving Operational Efficiency at Cut & Pack Department of Siyaram’s
Silk Mills Limited”, at its Bhiwandi Unit.
The company is facing challenges owing to constraints in cut & pack process resulting
in delayed dispatch. The objective of the project was to identify the bottlenecks and
find optimal solutions. Technique of “Work Study” was used, under which method
study and time study was undertaken for collecting data and analysing the same to
identify the bottlenecks and finding various alternative solutions. The method study
covered different processes being carried out in the departments of the unit.
There are 20 departments of which 16 departments are for cut & pack and 4 for
dispatch. Additionally there are 3 lump go-downs and 3 finished goods warehouse.
The company follows ‘Kaizen’ approach for continuous improvement. For conducting
the study, Misrair & J. Hampstead dispatch departments were taken as the sample.
The reason behind taking these two as representative samples is to address delivery
commitments to both the wholesalers (Mistair) and the retailers (J. Hampstead).
Representative team as samples were selected for the study in consultation with
industry mentor, head of the departments and supervisors. The time study was
conducted for 5 consecutive days. The time was recorded for each and every activity
for a specific delivery. It was observed that there was multiple waiting periods due to
(a) deliveries arranged sequentially row wise (b) non-availability of manpower (c)
mistakes of the rolls in delivery case, etc.
Past data of Mistair dispatch department was collected for two months through the
SAP system of the company, to find out the delays in actual dispatch from the target
date. After observing and analysing the data, two issues emerged. One is extension
of delivery by two days due to the waiting period; and the other is the variation in
No. of delivery per day. After the data collection the reasons for delay were
subjected to ABC analysis.
To find a viable solution to the above problem, different options were evaluated
through a brain storming session and discussion with the heads of departments.
After evaluating different options, the viable solution was suggested to modify the
process by installing different stations with a conveyer system and automated
equipments like stitching machines, strapping machine, etc and with standard 3
sided stitched bags to make the process flow faster. The solution suggested will help
the firm to efficiently dispatch 850 deliveries in a day, reducing the fatigue of the
worker and also saving in cost by 24.84 %. This savings have been calculated
considering the cost of installing the conveyor and other automated system and the
setup time.
For carrying out the process of all the departments more efficiently a new production
module was designed on ‘Microsoft Excel’, which records the day to day transaction
for implementing the system transparently, and collecting and reporting the data for
future managerial decision making. Through this module the working for every hour
can be recorded and compared with the standard targets for the workers. Also it can
be used for forecasting employee requirement, daily production targets, etc. This
system can be easily implemented by using SAP Module which is already in
operations.
Suggestions have been made for further improvement in the efficiency of the unit.
These include introduction of automated ‘Warkata Machine’, automated cutting
machine and automated checking machine, etc. for reducing the wastages of the
extra finished fabrics.
Draft layout plan has been prepared in consultation with the unit head for a
proposed new plant in a 1.5 acre area which will smoothen the work flow and insure
better security.

a. Primary Source:
Observing the timing of the dispatch process of Miniature & J.

of the company.
Process
As stated above there are 16 cut & pack departments which on an average have a
team of 22 people. Following is the list and No. of people required to run a
department:
All these departments are headed by 3 Assistant managers (or they also call them as
Head of Department (H.O.D.))
Below is the stage wise explanation of the Cut & Pack process.
Stage 1
The cut & pack process at Siyaram’s (Bhiwandi unit) starts with by first raising a
requirement to warehouse (W.H.) or lump godown (L.M.) or to the total goods return
(T.G.R.) department for the material to be processed as per the customer
independent record (C.I.R.). The C.I.R. is prepared by the marketing people as per
their customer requirement. The C.I.R. contains the detail of the design, cut, shade,
size, meters, etc. as per the instruction of the customer.
Stage 2
This C.I.R. is than passed to the station supervisor & master. As per the C.I.R. they
start the cut & pack process. To start the process they first check and arrange for the
following:
Stage 4
After arranging the lumps as per the shades the checker starts the checking of the
lumps one by one. In every department there are two checkers. The checker checks
the lumps to find any kind of defects in the lumps due to processing at the time of
weaving and processing of the shirting or suiting lump. The unit has mutually has
decided three different colors thread that denotes weather the defects is due to
weaving or processing and also the level of defects i.e. in a particular region or area in
the lump where there is a defect is, can go in the second piece or not.
As the checker checks the lump and find any defect he attach a thread of any one of
the color, this are called as flags. If the flags are quite high in a particular lump the
lump is send to the defective goods area and a memo of the same is prepared and is
being sent to the head office (H.O.) to the related person for further discussion.
Stage 5
After the checker has checked the lump and has attached all the flags, a person does
the warkata of the lump. This is the point at which the person measures the lump by
arranging in particular size so that the cutter can easily cut the lump as per the cut
size mentioned in the C.I.R. The person doing the warkata for shirting, than he
arranges the distance in meter based on the wept of the desired pieces. If the wept of
the pieces is 36 inches than the person will arrange the warkata at 2.25 meter or 2.40
meter or 2.50 meter as per the requirement. And if the required wept is 58 inches
than the warkata would be set at 1.60 meter. And if the person doing the warkata for
suiting, than he will arrange warkata at 1.20 meter or 1.30 meter with a wept of 58
inches.
Also at the time of warkata the exact meter is noted, otherwise before it on an
average basis they assume the lump is of 100 meter.
Stage 6
After the warkata is done, a computer operator entry in the system for P* Consume
i.e. uncut consume and create a F* Merchant i.e. finish cut merchant. After this he
print the barcode sticker for the rolls and handover it to the rolling department and
prepare a job card for the cutter.
Stage 7
As the job is prepared, the cutter who cuts the lump into pieces or rolls of different
meter as per the job card (which is prepared as per the C.I.R.). The cutter also looks
after the flags in the lump and cut the lump according to get the maximum fresh
pieces or rolls out of it as desired. While cutting the cutter also separate the second
piece, fent regs & chindi (F.R.C.). The company has decided a standard meter size for
second piece and FRC which are as below:
Type Size
Katran 0.01 m to 0.05 m
Chindi 0.06 m to 0.25 m
Recks 0.26 m to 0.65 m
Fend 0.66 m to 1.45 m
Good Cut (or second piece) 1.46 m to 2.24 m
Also the cutter takes out pieces for sample from the lump. After finish the work in the
job card he takes the sign of the concerned authority on the job card and handover
the sample to the sample department.
Stage 8
The packing is done in three different ways. They are and their process:
1. Duet
Under duet, in the packing box one piece of shirting and one piece of suiting is
packed. This is done in the following ways:
a. After the cutter has cut the lumps in required pieces a person does the
tagging on the pieces of suiting & shirting. This tag contains the cut size,
shade, quality, polyester or cotton percentage, price, manufacturer, etc.
b. After tagging the work is distributed by the master among the stations as
per the combination of the shirting & suiting.
c. And then they are packed in the grouping box.
d. Than these boxes are stacked on a pallet and transferred to the warehouse
or the dispatch area.
2. Pieces Goods
Under pieces, the lump is cut into different meter depending on the wept (as
mentioned above).
a. After the cutter has cut the lumps in required pieces a person does the
tagging on the pieces of suiting & shirting. This tag contains the cut size,
shade, quality, polyester or cotton percentage, price, manufacturer, etc.
b. After tagging the work is distributed by the master among the stations
c. Then a person collects the shades from each and every station one by one
and places them into the grouping box. As per the standard each grouping
box has 12 different shades.
d. Than these boxes are stacked on a pallet and transferred to the warehouse
or the dispatch area.
3. Rolling Goods
Under rolling, the lump is cut into different meter depending on the wept (as
mentioned above).
a. After the cutter has cut the lumps in required rolls, they roll the cut lumps
by two ways:
I. By Hand
i. A person stamp on the sides a Siyaram’s logo tag at every meter and
rolls it on roller or a plate and places a barcode and transfers it to the
packing department.
ii. The packing department packs the roll in a guillotine transparent
paper with brand tags and place on a pallet for further movement.
II. By Machine
i. A person first places a ‘thappi’ on the machine table and stamp on
the sides a Siyaram’s logo tag at every meter and rolls it on roller or a
plate and places a barcode and transfers it to the packing
department.
The packing team packs the roll in a guillotine transparent paper with brand
tags and place on a pallet for further movement.
{Detail chart of the cut & pack process is attached in Attachments No. – 2}
B. Dispatch Process
Siyaram’s Bhiwandi unit has four dedicated brand’s dispatch department that are:
1. Shirting Dispatch
2. J. Hampstead Dispatch
3. Mistair Dispatch
4. Miniature Dispatch
The company has calculated capacity to dispatch 825 deliveries with below
sanctioned manpower:

Dispatch Process
Only Stage 2 is not common for dispatch through warehouse and dispatch through
department. Stage 1st is same for all the three dispatch type and stages 3rd, 4th & 5th
are same for dispatch through and dispatch through departments.
Stage 1:
The process starts by taking a print of dispatch program every day in the morning for
all kinds of deliveries. The dispatch program is being uploaded by the marketing
people from the head office in the system one day before (like for example if 240
deliveries of Mistair is to be dispatched on 2nd July, 2013 than by the of 1st July, 2013
the marketing people will upload the deliveries on the system).
After taking the print of deliveries the supervisor distribute the program on the basis
of its categories to different teams.
Stage 2:
A team of three people one picker and two helpers take out rolls from the racks
in the warehouse. Every rack has its own unique No. and this unique No. is
mentioned in the program which helps the picker to take rolls. The No. of rolls in
the delivery is not fixed. It is a mixed delivery of different shades, size, design,
quantity, etc.
After taking the rolls of a particular delivery one helper cleans the rolls from
outside to remove dust from it and then the other helper picks those cleaned rolls
and arranges them on a trolley delivery wise and if any of the cover of the rolls is
torn out he changes the cover of the rolls at that particular itself, and as the
trolley is full he takes it to the dispatch area.
Stage 3:
As soon the deliveries have reached at the dispatch area, each single roll is
scanned in a particular delivery by a helper with a bar-code scanner on the
instruction of the computer operator. Scanning is done to get the challan for
further dispatch process to be completed. While scanning the computer operator
feed in the delivery code in the system and the helper scans the rolls. After
scanning is completed if any of the roll is not as per the specifications mentioned
in the delivery than the system will show and error and the challan will not be
released. So to rectify the error they find the rolls which are not appropriate as
per the delivery and replace it with the appropriate required roll.
Stage 4:
After the challan is released the packing team of two starts the packing of rolls in
plastic bags or cartoons (depends on No. of rolls) and then stiches the bags, seal
it, strap it and weigh it.
Stage 5:
As the packing team finishes their work, a person from the dispatch team does
the labeling of the cases or deliveries packed. He writes the delivery code No. on
three side of the case and then sticks a case barcode sticker on the cases. These
barcode case stickers are used by the mukadams and the security so as to track
the case.
If the dispatch program is to dispatch rolls from department than following is the
process:
Stage 2:
A team of 3 people among which one is the picker with two helpers. The picker
brings the pallets from different departments to the dispatch area as per the
delivery program of the departments. The No. of rolls in the delivery is not fixed.
It is a mixed delivery of different shades, size, design, quantity, etc.
The picker with one helper sorts the rolls from the pallets and they pass those
rolls to the other helper who arranges the rolls as per the delivery orders in a
sequence.
And the rest Stages 3rd, 4th & 5th are same as dispatch of roll from warehouse. The
only difference in stage 3rd is that the scanning is started after sorting is
completed.
PG means packed goods. In this the grouping boxes of the shirting or suiting
pieces are packed before their delivery order is raised. Normally a PG contains 5
grouping boxes and each grouping box has 12 different colors and shades of same
brand and quality. That means each PG has 60 pieces of shirting or suiting of a
particular brand. If the dispatch program is to dispatch PG from PG store than
following is the process:
Stage 2:
A team of one picker and two helpers starts the dispatch process. The pickers
marks the cases as mentioned in the PG dispatch program and then the helper’s
remove those cases from the PG store and deliver the same at the dispatch area.
Stage 3:
After the cases have reached at the dispatch area their case code is scanned by
the computer operator and he releases the challan for the cases.
Stage 4:
As the challan is released a packing person packs the case and stich the bag, seal
it and weigh it.
Stage 5:
As the packing team finishes his work, a person from the dispatch team does the
labeling on the cases packed. They write the delivery No. and stick a case barcode
sticker on the cases.
Stage 2:
A team of one picker and two helpers starts the dispatch process. The pickers
bring the grouping boxes or also called as inner box from department to the
dispatch area. Then the helpers as per the instruction of picker sort the boxes
delivery wise.
Stage 3:
After sorting the boxes are scanned by a helper as per the instruction of
computer operator. As the challan is released the boxes can be packed in cartoon.
Stage 4:
After the release of challan the packing team starts the packing of boxes by
putting them in a cartoon (also called as outer packing) and then the team stiches
the bags, strap it and weigh it.
Stage 5:
As the packing team finishes their work, a person from the dispatch team does
the labeling on the cases packed. They write the delivery No. and stick a case
barcode sticker on the cases.
{A chart for the dispatch process and a pictorial display is attached below in
Attachment No. – 3 & 4}
C. Warehouse Process
There are three warehouses at the Bhiwandi unit. Each warehouse has a supervisor
and picker and helper under him. Their work is to inward & outward of rolls in &
from the warehouse.
Inward Activity
1. The inward activity starts when the warehouse receives rolls from the
departments or from the dispatch area (the left rolls at the time of dispatch from
department).
2. The team of one picker and two helper counts the rolls and store in different
racks according to the brand, design, & cut.
3. After this they scan the rolls in that particular rack and store the data in the
system.
Outward activity
The outward activity is carried out in two ways:
1. For dispatch
2. For re-cutting
1. For Dispatch
As soon the team receives the program for dispatch they remove the rolls
from the racks delivery wise and send them at the dispatch area.
2. For re-cutting
As the team get the program for the rolls that have to be sent to the
departments for re-cutting (under this the rolls might be cut into pieces or
their brand tag may be changed), the picker removes the rolls as per the re-
cutting program, they scan those rolls and feed them into the system.
After the data is stored in the system the rolls are sent to the department.
Data Collection
For collecting and analyzing the process the data was collected as per the ‘Work
Study’ method under which ‘Method Study’ and ‘Time Study’ was made, and after
collecting the data, using the ‘ABC Analysis’ technique, the bottlenecks in the
process was identified.
To conduct the ‘Method Study’ detail understanding of the process and the level of
standardization each and every department was observed and a combine common
process of the different departments as mentioned above.
Completed Deliveries
Dispatch Department Targets (per day) Per Hour
(as per 10 Hours work)*
Mistair 250 25
PV Miniature 125 12
J. Hampstead 150 15
Shirting 300 30
* The duty timing is of 12 hours from which 10 hours is consider
for the working time as 1 hour is the lunch break and 15minutes
plus 15 minutes for tea breaks and rest 30 minutes for some
extra activities.
2. Mistair deliveries are as per the majorly order of the wholesaler whereas J.
Hampstead is the only brand where the major No. of delivery is based as
per the order of retailers.
3. The average No. of rolls for Mistair brand is 13 and the average No. of rolls
in the J. Hampstead brand is 5.
II. And second, a team was selected from the dispatch department and from the
warehouse for recording the timing of the process. The team selected was on
the basis of:
1. As per the discussion with the head of the departments, supervisor and the
human resource officer.
2. And observing different teams for few days to select a fairly good team for
the study.
3. After finalizing the tem an observation was conducted for a week and to
get an accurate timing extreme timing recorded was note consider for the
study. So among days 5 days were selected and an average of the same
was made for analysisng.
For a deep understanding and the impact of bottleneck two months data was
collected of Miniature dispatch department for the month of April & May 2013 from
the SAP system of the company. The data collected has been attached in
Attachment No. – 7
(Note: The daily target in the data is for the to deliver from warehouse and
departments. It does not contain deliveries from the packed goods and from re-
cutting)
Analysis
After collecting the data, analysis of the data conducted as per the:
2. Discussion with the Industry mentors Mr. Jayant Patil on the observation and
find out different solutions.

A. Dispatch Timing
On analyzing data collected it was observed that waiting time was major affecting
factor than the time for individual process. The following timings were observed as
the bottlenecks:
1. The average processing time was 66 minutes for Mistair and 45 minutes for J.
Hampstead.
2. The average waiting time for Mistair dispatch was 654 minutes i.e. approx 11
hours and for J. Hampstead was 364 minutes i.e. approx 6 hours.
Mistair J. Hampstead
After finding the waiting time as the major effect, daily target deliveries and the time
to dispatch them was compared for Mistair Department below is the finding of the
data analyzed:
On the basis of the findings, following is the list of activity that were categories on
the basis of ABC analysis
1. For Miniature:
2. For J. Hampstead:
Conclusion
On observing and analysis the dispatch process of Miniature and J. Hampstead and
on the basis of the findings following conclusion points have been observed:
1. Waiting time or the idle time the main cause behind the delays and not able to
achieve the targets.
e. Improper layout.
f. Waiting time at the lift area to take the case from the 2nd & 1st floor to the
ground floor.
Recommendation
1. Every department have three teams that comprises of seven company labours.
2. The costing of the current process is as follows:
The cost behind the above suggested recommendation is Rs. 12 lacs in which 2
stations can be made and following is the rough estimate of reduction in cost by
24.84% (approx.).
Particulars Amount
Cos of machinery (approx)* 1,300,000
Depreciation (@10% Every year) – B 130,000.00
Maintenance
65,000.00
(5% of the total cost) – C
Total Machine Cost per annum (D = B+C) 1,95,000.00
% Saved 24.84%
*Includes cost of installing conveyer system
To improve the efficiency of the cut & pack departments at the unit, a new
software system module is designed on ‘Microsoft Excel’ that will help the firm to
keep track of the production, analyze its efficiency and make it transparent.
This software can be linked with company SAP system. That will help in installing a
dash board system so that the top level management can keep an eye on the
system anywhere and at any time.
The current plant layout has lots of flaws in its layout. The movement of material
is quite high in the current layout system. Also the cost of operation is high due to
scattered layout.
{Sample layout design of the new software to look like is attached below in
Attachment No. – 12}
1. Presentation for the study has been made to the Managing Director of
the company Study i.e. to Mr. Ramesh D. Podar
2. Among the suggested recommendation, each and every
recommendation has been consider and the implantation of the
recommended suggestion has been started.
3. At the very first implementation of the software module has been
started. So the software to the company is first now:
a. Collecting data manually in the suggested format
b. And then on the next stage the data will collected on excel
c. After that ‘Fox Pro’ based software will be designed to check the
viability of the software.
This done in order to check the viability before implementing it with SAP
software of the company.
4. The new dispatch system has also being taken under scrutiny and after
working on the costing and returns of it internally the process will be
changed as suggested.
5. The new layout that has been suggested is also taken as future study.
