Time and Motion Study of Ti Turning Washing Process and

Suggestions
1) Putting 50 Kg Turning in Mixer
Time Required is 4 Mins and 28 sec (5mins)
To fill the Mixer with 50kg of turning, a man fills a tub 13 times
and empties it 13 times in Mixer
(A Conical )
2) Heating the water and Pouring it in Mixer
Time required 49 Mins and 13 sec
A Tub 1 is kept bellow the geaser. It Takes 41mins and 2 sec to
fill the tub with 200 lit of water. The temperature of the water is
511C
The worker then fills another tub 2 which is kept on a trolley
with the help of a bucket (he fills the bucket from Tub1 and then
pours it in tub 2). The time taken is 2 Min and 6 sec
The tub 2 which is on trolley is taken near Mixer, Time taken is
54 sec
The water from tub2 is poured in Mixer using bucket. The time
taken is 2mins and 40 sec. The Temperature of the water drops
48.3

3) 2kg caustic soda is added

Time required is 28 sec
4) The Mixer is started, and the turnings are washed for 40-50 mins
depending upon the oil which can be seen visually.
5) Taking the turning out and drying.

 Time Required is 92 mins and 32 sec

The Mixing Pot is inclined at level so that the wastewater is
drained off, Time requied is 2 min 7 sec
After removal of water the pot is rotated to take the turnings out,
Time requied is 1 min and 15 sec
This turnings are than spread over a plastic sheet for Sun
Drying, time required is 88 mins
The above steps/process is for only one wash of 50 kg batch. The
above process is carried out 2-3 times depending upon the visual
inspection of oil in Ti turning.
Observations
o No SOPs
o Lots of time and energy is wasted for carrying out simple
processes and task
o Unefficient machines being used
o No Proper Supervision

Proposal
o A Dedicated supervisor should be there to overlook this valuable
functioning

o SOP should be made

o Monthly Targets should be given to worker
o Records Should be maintained by worker so that Productivity of
worker can be found out
