Abstract— To days industries striving hard to find methods for
low cost, high production in laser time. Lean manufacturing
concepts are used by industries to reduce various wastes in
manufacturing for competing the global market.
This research work has been carried out as a case study at
Emerson Climate Technologies (ETC) India Ltd. plant located at
Atit with an objective of waste reduction. Effort is made to
reduce motion waste in the shop floor by work combination
technique. Research work shows house of the simple lean
concept and advance simulation software in industry for
eliminates non value added activities and operational wastes.
Problems in current production line are identified, and analyzed
with the help of WITNESS simulation software. Then the layout is
modified, simulated and results are compared with current
layout. The results show that one operator is elevated than the
preǀious. It saǀes in operator’s salary, ǁhiĐh is Đonsideraďle
saving in total revenue. Proposed layout successfully
implemented in industry and results are validated.
Keywords- Lean Manufacturing, WITNESS Software.
I. INTRODUCTION
Productivity is a measure of the rate at which outputs
of goods and services are produced per unit of input (labor,
capital, raw materials, etc.). It is calculated as the ratio of
the amount of outputs produced to some measure of the
amount of inputs used. Productivity measures are used at
the level of firms, industries and entire economies.
Depending on the context and the selection of input and
output measures, productivity calculations can have
different interpretations. Improving productivity can have
connotations of economizing on the use of inputs for
example, adopting efficient production processes that
minimize waste. Equally, improving productivity can have
connotations of yielding more output for example, using
resources in activities or with technologies that generate
more output.

planning, an optimum arrangement of facilities, including
personnel, operating equipment, storage space, materials
handling equipment and all other supporting services along
with the design of the best structure to accommodate
these faĐilities.
In this research work compressor body machinating
line is taken for study. Because this line shows
measurable motion waste in time study date and there is
measurable improvement by small changes in layout.
There are various techniques available to improve the
productivity and increasing the revenue of the plant.
Reduction of the small wastages during the manufacturing
the products is one of them. Waste reduction method is
same as continuous improvement. In following section we
observed that how lean concepts (reduction of motion
waste) increases productivity and revenue of the plant.
