The document discusses the important findings and learnings from a plant visit. It identifies decentralization, outsourced transportation and bike part manufacturing as important findings. Key learnings include the plant manager's role in production management, focus on R&D, sustainability approaches like reducing CO2 emissions and solid waste management, and eliminating waste from motion, waiting, inventory and defects.

2. Point of Discussion Finding Learning

3. Important Findings Decentralization Outsourced Transportation Outsourced Bike Parts Manufacturing ( Ex – ABM and Omax Bikes Ltd.) Yong Workers (Mostly Men) Recreation Zone Separate Smoking Zone Safety Concern Environment Friendly Plant

4. Important Learnings Plant Manger’s Role and Responsibility Production Management System Focus and Participation on R&D Sustainability Approach Wastes Management

5. Important Learnings Plant Manger’s Role and Responsibility Rejection Rate Labor Cost Per Hour Supply Chain Management of Raw and Processed Goods

6. Important Learnings.. Contd.. Rejection Rate RR = ( Rejectedpieces / ProcessedPieces ) x 100

7. Labor Cost Per Hour (total annual labor costs + taxes + benefits + paid time off) / (total annual hours worked – breaks and training time). This is your direct labor cost per hour. Important Learning.. Contd..

8. Supply Chain Management Important Learning.. Contd.. Upstream suppliers Suppliers Your Company Distribution channels Customers Integrated Supply chain Information flow sharing

9. Production Management System Important Learning.. Contd..

10. Production Management System 5s “ A place for everything necessary and everything necessary in its place, clean and ready for use” Important Learning.. Contd..

11. Production Management System 3G “ In case of an abnormality, all the concerned members should actually go to the place where the problem has occurred, see the actual thing & take realistic action to solve the problem” Important Learning.. Contd..

12. Production Management System 3k 3K concept is “What has been decided must be followed exactly as per the standard” These concepts are displayed prominently at work place across the company Important Learning.. Contd..

13. Focus and Participation on R&D Open R&D Department Reward for Best Ideas Important Learning.. Contd..

14. Sustainability Approach CO2 emission reduction Energy Conservation Water Conservation Solid Waste Management Fuel Efficiency Important Learning.. Contd..

15. Motion – inefficient people movement Waiting – people utilization Inventory – stuff laying around (often a symptom of another waste) Defects/Correction – Time spent fixing defects, including defect that get thrown away and the time make the product correctly Underutilized People – not dedicated to Value-Added 100%, untapped human creativity Wastes Management

16. Systematic approach to Productivity and Quality Improvement Operators play a significant role in Business Excellence Conclusion
