Abstract
Spinning mill industries continue to face the challenges of improving productivity, in order to remain successful, in a highly competitive industry. As year on year, every input cost goes higher, it is important to provide better products at lower costs to the end consumer by improving the efficiency of the plant. The project site is Cannanore spinning and weaving mills, Mahe. Today the company has a production capacity of almost 85680 spindles per day. This capacity cannot be utilized properly due to various losses. The project aims at identifying the root cause of these losses and to propose methods to increase the productivity. DMAIC technique is used for productivity increase with why - why analysis in the analysis stage to find out the root causes of losses. Pareto chart is used to plot various factors that affect productivity. This project mainly focuses on reasons for power failure and absenteeism, which is a threat to the organization. In order to improve the productivity of the organization, suggestions were made to manage the power failure and absenteeism, thus a better system was proposed for the organization under study.
Keywords- DMAIC analysis, Pareto chart, styling, productivity.
