It is very important for any organization to create and build a mindset of its manufacturing system in order to develop good culture and create identity for itself. Designing apt layout of the manufacturing facility has immense impact on not only the target achieving but also on the delivered quality, overall efficiency of the system and culture building. Many times it so happens especially in start-ups and small scale industries that during the growth of one organization some systems take place unknowingly. These systems though having started with a good idea are not monitored and analyzed. Making some changes in these established systems some times are vital for the growth of organization. In the organizations which have “made to order” manufacturing it becomes difficult to set up a layout and process for manufacturing in order to optimize some areas. In this report we take a look at one such production layout that is being used by a Mumbai (India) based signage industry. This report sheds light on the short comings of its production system and also suggests an alternate approach to tackle these short comings. The suggested system has been experimentally verified in another manufacturing facility owned by the same company located in Delhi, India. Results of the experiment give us a judgment as to how much increase in efficiency can be achieved by this alternate solution by comparing the results of the existing production system and alternate production system.

manufacturing system, made to order.
