Abstract

The research study was undertaken to design a computerized system to improve production planning and control strategy for the case study company. The developed computer program was formulated to measure the overall equipment effectiveness, identify losses and bottlenecks, as well as help in achieving maximum output with minimum input. A simulation was also done on the pilot section of the production process for the organization. The proposed system of close monitoring of key variables would enable analysis and tracking of manufacturing processes.
