1. Data Collection - Video shooting of all activities on the line.
2. Estimation & Data Analysis – Basic MOST estimation, work distribution, dashboard preparation, VA/NVA analysis.
3. Results and Conclusion – Area wise Dashboards for Planned production, fatigue reduction, improved productivity, improved manpower utilization, identification of NVA work content.

Involvement of Associates –

• PMI – 1 Project Manager, 2 Engineers.
• Client – 2 Project Co-ordinators.

Data Collection:

• Plant Round with CFT to understand the scope of work.
