 PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
Production is the foundation of every business organization. Production
and marketing of goods and services are the fundamental objectives of
an organization. The production of a business is concerned with the
creation of a product or service required to satisfy customer’s needs.
Production will be effective when;
i. It operates primarily to satisfy customers demand (quality ,
quantity , price and timing of delivery)
ii. It operates in an economical and efficient manner ( cost
effectiveness )

Production is the creation pf value; it can also be seen as

transformation of inputs into. Production means creation of
utilize and includesa all the activities of procurement, allocation
and utilization of resources such as labour, energy, material
equipments, machinery etc. It is the functional area responsible
for turning input into finished output through a series of
production processes. The production manager is responsible
for making sure that raw materials are provided and made into
finished goods effectively. He must make sure that work is
carried at smoothly , and must supervise procedures for making
work efficient and more enjoyable.

Man, Machinery , Material and money are the main inputs for a business
enterprise. In Kalyx Plati-pack we can see a perfect mix of all these
basic input needs used for the production. The function of production
department is to convert raw material into finished products. The function
of production department begins from bringing the raw materials into
factory to the packaging of waste. The role of production department
finishes only when thefinished goods are properly packed and kept
ready to dispatch.
Kalyx Plasi-pack being a manufacturing concern number of
equipments and machines are involved directly or indirectly with the
production processs and hence the effective functioning of a
maintenance department is inevitable. The objectives of the department
include minimizing breakdowns to keep operations table, providing safe
working environment and providing reliable condition for equipment and
providing reliable condition, through service, repairs, replacement and
modification.
The production in Kalyx Plasti-Pack is going in its maximum capacity.
The machine works for 24 hours and the workers are working in shift.
Production is a fabrication of physical object through the use of
men, material & equipments. After introducing raw-material for a series
of process the finished goods are obtained.The manufacturing process
can be precisely explained
Input Conversion process Output
In Kalyx Plasti-Pack the raw material includes Polystyrene,
Polypropylene (PP) and Rigid Poly Vinyle Chloride. These are passing
through certain process and at last we get the finished products. The
finished products include plastic glasses, disposable plates, and many
other various kinds of food containers.

 RAW MATERIALS
 POLYSTYRENE
 POLYPROPYLENE (PP)
 RIGID POLY VINYLE CHLORIDE (RPVC)

POLYSTYRENE
Polystyrene is expensive and hard plastic and probably only
polythene is more common in our every day life. Polystyrene is a vinyl
polymer. Structurally , it is a long hydro carbon polystyrene is produced
by free radical vinyle polymerization. This type is mainly used housing
outside of a computers model cars and airplanes.

POLYPROPYLENE (PP)
It is also known as Thermo Plastic Polymer used in a wide
variety of application including packing, textiles, stationery plastics and
reusable containers of various types of laboratory equipments.
Polypropylene is normally tough and flexible, especially when
copolymerized with ethylene.

RIGID POL VINYLE CHLORIDE (RPVC)

Rigid Poly Vinyle Chloride is a component mainly seen
among the plastic manufacturers. These use mainly for fabrications and
moulding. Rigid Poly Vinyle Chloride has a redundant permanent virtual
circuit.
PRODUCTION PROCESS
Kalyx Plasti-Packs provide engineering and manufacturing
services for plastic packing as well as custom thermo formed items like
clam shells, blister pack, trays and fille materials. For over a decade
Kalyx Plasti-Pack has been leading manufacture in vacuum forming,
thermoforming and pressure forming. Company serve a wide variety of
industries including food packing, catering industry, medical and IT
industry, with high quality products that are reasonably priced and
delivered on time. Company is fully equipped for prototypes or
production of many kinds of pressure formed plastic products.
Kalyx Plasti-Pack is specializing in high quality pressure forming
and vacuum thermoforming. Kalyx Plasti-Pack is constantly upgrading
technology and expertise to meet the changing and the growing demand
of the market to the manufacture. High quality food grade plastic at
affordable and sensible price.
There are three raw materials used for the production process.
They are Polystyrene, Polypropylene and Rigid Poly Vinyle Chloride.
These three materialsa in granule form. They are mixed together
proportionally and are placed into a funnel. Through the heating process
inside the funnel, the granules are melted and converted into sheet. The
machine is used for this process called sheet line machine and the
process is called sheet line process. These sheets are loaded and
weighed accordingly and then dumped into a thermo forming machine.
This machine is computerized semimanual which can be used to set
different kinds of moulds and styles according to the need of the
manufacturer. While operating this machine, the sheet is placed in such
a manner as to undergo a high pressure compulsion. Through this
compulsion the designed mould is formed as the output. This process is
called thermoforming.
There is another machine so called as Injuction moulding machine
which is much more advanced, simple, user friendly and eco friendly
compared to thermoforming machine. Under the injuction moulding
process raw materials are directly converted into finished product.
 Where the making of sheet or so called sheet line method is not
applied. In this method the raw materials are directly put into the
injuction moulding machine. And then set different kinds of moulds and
styles to be produced and set the temperature to melt. Then they
undergo a high pressure compulsion. Through this compulsion the
designed mould is formed as the output. This method is costly and the
quality of the product is much more standardizing than the
thermoforming products. Another advantage of the product is that it can
that can be used in oven for heating and cooking.
In production there is an efficient usage of wastage. The wastage
can be recycled. The wastage is put under the sheet line machine and
that convert the wastage into a sheet and the production process goes
on. And there is no wastage in production.
