 CAT-1 QUESTIONS

With reference to sugar manufacturing-

1. Identification of type of production system employed.
2. Develop production of flow chart after analyzing the
elements of flow chart.
3. Prepare production cycle in the logical order.
4. Suggest the most appropriate lay out of production and why?
5. Analyse the importance of using cellular layout in that
particular manufacturing unit?
 1. CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION

• Sugar is a continuous production system

• Continuous Production- Production facilities are arranged as per the sequence of production operations
from the first operations to the finished product. It involves the production of large quantities of
products, whose demand is high.The items are made to flow through the sequence of operations .
Continuous Production is characterized by :-
• 1. Dedicated plant and equipment with zero flexibility.
• 2. Material handling is fully automated.
• 3. Process follows a predetermined sequence of operations.

CYCLE

• Extraction of Juice
• Clarification
• Evaporation
• Crystallization
• Centrifugation
• Gradation & Packing
 4. PRODUCT LAYOUT

• Most suitable layout for sugar manufacturing would be product layout/line layout.
• It is a layout that arranges activities in a line according to the sequence of operations that need to
be performed to assemble a product while minimising material handling cost.
• This process has a proper sequence so we don’t have to make much planning and scheduling of
routine
• Higher rate of output
• Low training cost of labour (specaislised machines are used)
 CELLULAR LAYOUT

• Here, the machines are grouped according to the process requirements for a set of
similar items (part families) that require similar processing. These groups are called
cells.
• Processes are grouped into cells using a technique known as group technology (GT).
Group technology involves identifying parts with similar design characteristics (size,
shape, and function) and similar process characteristics (type of processing required,
available machinery that performs this type of process, and processing sequence).
• Workers in cellular layouts are cross-trained so that they can operate all the equipment
within the cell and take responsibility for its output. Sometimes the cells feed into an
assembly line that produces the final product.
 5. Cellular Layout In Sugar Manufacturing??

• Cellular layout cannot be used in sugar manufacturing.

• In sugar manufacturing process various specialised machines are used that cannot be grouped in
cells.
• If workflow is less than there would be fluctuations in output.
• Design changes are less.
• Chances of quality compromise.
• Not flexible to match change in demand
