15. MY OBSERVATIONS….
 The plant was very well planned in the sense of transfer of
goods from one shop to another.
 The FFP and HMBP were further divided into 5 individual
shops while the HMTP was divided into 3 shops.
 HMBP :
 Machine shop
 Fabrication shop
 Gear cutting shop
 Steel structural shop
 Assembly shop

16.  HMTP :
 Light machining shop
 Medium Machining shop
 Heavy machining shop
 The foundry shop was under maintenance due to lack of
funds
 High wastage of scrap metal
 Pieces manufactured or machined used to take a period
of around 2-3 days to 2 months.
