Malwa, Machiwada

The malwa unit at machiwada is a single storied building. According to my my observation it is

scientific layout as it is well planned according to the ergonomics.

All the lines in the production hall were movable, i.e. the tables as well as machines had wheels
under them so as to move the machine from one place to another as the style and the machinery
requirement changes.

There were small trims and accessories store on the floor itself in each hall. The administrative
offices were on the floor only and they had glass doors and windows so that the view of the hall is
clear to them. There was a cafeteria enclosed to the office block of the administration.

The bathrooms separate for both men and women were there on the floor itself.

in the finishing and pressing room, we saw that there were ventilators on in the hall and air vacuum
was there so that it could through the hot air produced from steam pressing and coo, down the
atmosphere of the hall so that there is no humidity and the workers could work comfortably.

The product layout was being followed in the organisation.

There were multi-storeyed racks so that they can carry as much goods as they can at one time for
continuous feeding so that no garment should take time to be get feed to a certain line, which would
help in reducing g WIP.

There were horse/ doom trolleys also to kept the leg parts of the trouser.

The layout of the hall could be changed according to the lot by lot variation that is variation in style
as the machinery and everything as we discussed earlier had wheels underneath so that they can be
moved easily and quickly as per requirement.

The chairs which were allotted to the workers were having cushioned back.

For those workers who were doing the work in standing position had mattress to stand on, so that
they should not feel the pressure on their foot and feel relaxed.

There was trench system in the industries’ finishing area, where al the tumblers and dryers and
hydro contractors were installed so that the vacuum could be created in the room and there is no
suffocation because of all the heat being produced by the hydro contractors and dryers.
SUPREME INDUSTRY- PRODUCTION ENGINEERING

On the floor there were green boxes in which there were arrows showing the way to go, enter and
exit. The area of walking was enclosed by yellow lines and while walking we should not move out of
them.

In the production hall, the store etc, all the machinery and things were kept inside the yellow lines
and they should be kept inside the yellow line only.

The production engineering room was on the floor and had glass door and windows to see the floor.

There were racks to keep the rolls and fabric and also the platforms were being used. the ready to
cut fabric was kept near the issue table on platforms only.

In the whole industry, the pillars were marked with green and red lines on the top so as to show that
on which pillar the fire extinguisher is hanged and on which the fist aid box.

There was an emergency light which lighted up and on which the alarm would ring whenever there
would be fire.

There was trench system in the cutting room, but it was sealed, as in it was not being used.

To keep the light falling o the table, and to see check any mistake in spreading, the lights were
enclosed from all sides so that it gets trapped within.

In the spreading area there were mattresses kept at those places where the workers were ment to
stand so that they should not feel the pressure on the feet and be relaxed throughout, however at
some places, it was missing.

Also in the spreading hall we had seen that there were big windows which let the light from outside
come in and the room was painted in light colour so that the natural light is effective and room is
bright always.

The embroidery area had its own thread issuing corner, from where the workers could get allotted
the threads of the style which was being made. Also, in the production hall there was small trim
counter rooms, which provided the trims and tags of the styles which were running in the particular
hall.

There was manual switch track system being used in the production halls. In one of the rooms we
saw, 30 lines and in the other we saw 5 lines. One of the halls had the switch track installed but
there was no machine. it was left for expansion and to install the machinery there whenever the
industry felt the need for new machines.

boiler area was enclosed. Most of the machines which were runin in the factory were running on the
pressures, which came from the pipe. Also the knitting machines were also working on the pressure,
this pressure was being produced by the steam which was produced by burning wood.

In the industry the stitch to pack concept was being used. the packing was also done in the
continuation to the line and also the pieces were packed in the box in the end. fans were hanging at
the height so that there is proper ventilation i the room.
In the knitting area, there was suction system and ducting at the top in the knitting area, because in
that area the fibres were floating in air, so as to through them out and keep the knitting area cool,
this was done.

There was board at the end of the line on which the production of each of the worker in the line was
calculated individually, manually. there was Tiffin area at the begging of the hall so that no one
should carry the Tiffin inside. In the pressing area, there were standing fans kept next to the
machines so that the workers should not feel suffocated as due to steam a lot of humidity was
created.

The steam which was created by the steam press machine was thrown out of the hall through the
pipes.

However in the stairs we could see the stains of spitting, so there was less cleanliness in the industry.
