Many industries are running their industry despite of huge wastage and production loss. There are many reasons
of being closed down of these industries. Layout is one of the reasons. A proper layout can minimize the production loss
and on the other hand an improper layout can increase the production loss. Layout refers to the specific configuration of
physical facilities in an organization. Objective of layout strategy is to develop an effective and efficient layout that will
meet the firm’s competitive requirements. This project focuses on present layout and improvement of present layout of a
local tube light company (Eastern Tubes Ltd.). During this project, the existing layout was studied and the problems of the
existing layout were identified. Idle time and task time were calculated to find out the efficiency of existing and proposed
layout. Key factors related to the layout of production floor were studied and by considering those factors, a new
redesigned layout of the production floor was proposed in our study report
The purpose of the present project work was to determine the formability of 304 stainless steel alloy to fabricate
elliptical cups using single point incremental forming (SPIF) process. The finite element analysis has been carried out to
model the single point incremental forming process using ABAQUS software code. The process variables of SPIF were
sheet thickness, step depth, tool radius and coefficient of friction. The process parameters have been optimized using
Taguchi techniques. The major process parameters influencing the SPIF of elliptical cups were sheet thickness, step size
and tool radius
