Abstract
Improving the quality of products being manufactured and enhancing the productivity is of utmost importance in today's global competition. This could be achieved by addressing the bottlenecks present in the manufacturing process as well as in the layout. This project aims at optimizing the layout of Upvc windows manufacturing unit of M/s. GenX windoors Private Limited Hyderabad. It is done by carrying out a detailed study to find out the bottlenecks in the existing layout and suggest corrective measures to them. Various tools like Statistical Quality Control, Flow Process charts, Flexsim software are used. The layout is optimized by first building and validating the simulation model of existing layout, followed by creating proposed layouts based on the various alternatives found for the bottlenecks and validating them. Alternatives or corrective measures are decided by making use of statistical tools like brainstorming and flowchart. Simulated results are then compared with the existing results so as to find the optimized layout. It is also intended to carry out the cost analysis so as to know the economic impact of implementation of the proposed changes in the windows manufacturing unit.
