th
February 2014
Assessed Outcome
CO1: Analyze the productivity in an organization by using the productivity concept and
fundamentals.
CO2: Select and apply the best layout based on the layout design procedure location and
basic layout design by taking into account the impact of sustainable environment.
CO3: Design working environment based on work study and human factor engineering
concept.
CO4: Analyze production planning, control and inventory management activities based on
given cases.
CO5: Evaluate solutions for a given case based on total quality management systems


Project explanation

Your group was assigned to do a productivity and quality improvement using Industrial
Engineering tools. Below are the guidelines and requirements for the project:
i) Your group may conduct the study at any factory, shops, banks, service center and
other suitable places which have a chain of processes to produce a product or
services.
ii) The main focus of your project is to improve the productivity and quality of the
production line or services system using Industrial Engineering tools.
iii) Every process must be illustrated in a flow chart together with the standard time
for each process. You may have to conduct a time study here.
iv) Your group also has to generate a new layout design for the case study that you
have chosen which could support the productivity and quality improvement.
v) The improvement proposal should also include a new design of working
environment based on work study and human factor engineering concepts.
vi) Your group also has to analyze the production planning, control and inventory
management activities based on the case study chosen.
vii) Every solution generated to improve the productivity and quality for the
production line or service system must be evaluated using Industrial Engineering
technique.
viii) The final proposal should be written in report format with font size 12 and 1.5
spacing. The submission deadline will be on the 15th of May 2014. As to ensure
the project is carried out successfully by all groups, the working progress will be
monitored frequently. Any delay on submission will be penalized 10% of the
working day.

CO1 Analyze the productivity in
an organization by using the
productivity concept and
fundamentals.

Define the productivity based
on the selected company.
Explain how the company
measure the productivity.
Apply your engineering
knowledge on how the
company could improve the
productivity

CO2 Select and apply the best
layout based on the layout
design procedure location
and basic layout design by
taking into account the
impact of sustainable
environment.
Analyze the existing layout and
propose a new layout with
improved features. Youre
encouraged to use WITNESS or
any suitable tools for layout
analysis. All related drawing
should be supported and
clearly explained.

CO3 Design working environment
based on work study and
human factor engineering
concept.
Propose a new working
environment with the
ergonomic features. Explain
how the new environment
could improve the company
productivity.
Show the flow chart including
standard time. Justify how you
decided the selected allowance
factor.

CO4 Analyze production
planning, control and
inventory management
activities based on given
cases.

Suggest how the company
could improve the production
plan in order to reduce cost.
All calculation should be
supported and justified.

CO5 Evaluate solutions for a
given case based on total
quality management systems

Explain how the company could
improve and sustain the
quality.
