Abstract

In today’s competitive world, an all round improvement in the areas such as process improvement, scrap cost reduction, quality enhancement, machine efficiency improvement, resources optimization is required to survive in the market. Among these we believe there is huge scope to improve internal logistic system with Industrial Engineering tools to reduce the cost of the product. A streamlined internal logistic system supports the production process through supply of right quantity of material at right time. This helps business to prevent loss of production, storage place, ensures safety in storage and delivery of materials using minimal resources. This present work aims to study the internal logistics involved in process industry in terms of material, people, process, equipments and provide recommendations for optimizing internal logistics processes in turn to reduce the cost of the product. Cost of material handling plays a vital role in process industry. This involves two stages. In the first stage, the current material flow has been studied using Time and motion study. In the second stage, based on the results of first stage using TIMWOOD techniques, the non-value added activities has to be removed and a new material flow system has been proposed for implementation.
