SUMMARY


The company has effectively implemented the HR techniques in the plant. The workers and employees are well aware of the concepts of these techniques. The HACCP applied in the plant is working in its most effective manner. The wastage in the plant is least and the production team and the workers try their level best to reduce it even more. The wastage of the biscuits that fall on the floor is minimized by the use of trays under the machines.

The use 5S in the plant has helped in keeping the plant well and tidy. The under baked or over baked biscuits are reprocessed by sending them back to the chura store and thus minimizing the wastage. The Kaizens given regularly by the employee and the workers has also helped in reducing the wastage and increase the effective production. The total wastage of the plant is sent to the poultry farms and it is around 1 truck in 6 months. All the workers have positive response towards the techniques and methods being adopted by the plant.

Suggestions
1) The company should focus more over the application of the Kaizens. 2) The drop down belt at the Krackjack biscuit must be replaced by the straight belt as used in Monaco since it costs least wastage. 3) The company may also use the other HR techniques so as to make more effective production like Andon, Six thinking Hats, etc 4) The power cuts that affect a lot to the production and results in wastage must be controlled. Since one power cut of 3-5 seconds wastes at least 10-15 packs of biscuits.

5) Another cause of wastage is machinery breakdown. So regular checks on the machines must be adopted. 6) Some kaizen like cuts in the conveyor belt at Krackjack machine to assure the safety requirements of the operator, a railing of nearly 1 and inches must be put along the sides of the conveyor belt so as to minimize the falling of biscuits during the in line process of the manufacturing, that would also minimize the use of trays under the machines.
