Chapter four, deals with the study of the present production process using productoriented layout and time study, which are described at chapters one and two respectively.
Chapter five, estimates the sectors that the whole process needs improvements, and proposes an ideal solution to eliminate the factors which keep the productivity level low.
At chapter six, the same procedure, as at chapter four, is followed, which is, productoriented layout and time study, to study the proposed production process. A detailed examination of the improvements is represented.
Chapter seven, refers to the plant layout, and by using process-oriented layout and group technology, a more efficient plant layout is represented.
