3. Production System:Manufacturing System- According to the factory owner whatever is the demand in
the three quarters, they manufacture 15 ton daily. The reason behind this is that even they are manufacturing 2 tons of Ice the power consumption is the same while manufacturing 15 tons. The extra product is being sold to the individuals if demanded.

LayoutType and Advantage The layout is process layout as after one

process the second gets started. There is a continues process, as on one side the ammonium pipes purifies the water then the pure water is further moved to the Brying containers (salt water containers) and then it moves to the agidator (container) and further it is transferred to the storage tanks which are 4 feet long. The advantage in this process is as their work schedule is continues so the process function helps them to work in various steps which also saves time and gives a better result in terms of final product.

Location Criteria and Benefits It is situated in Industrial Area which is in

center and thus there, the cheap labor is also easily available and for the purchasers also it is convenient. Apart from such issues the electricity is also a major part as according to them it is their major raw material without which they cannot start their manufacturing process.

4. Planning:Production Plan They do not have as such any production plan but. As they said
that whatever the demand is they do not work according to that, rather they produce 15 ton daily.

Scheduling of Work They have work schedule of 3 shifts of 7 workers in each

shift.

5. Quality Orientation:- It is an Non certified Company. As it is a very small

unit and thus their products are being used for only commercial purpose thus they do not need the certification.

cooling coils, cooling condensers, oil separators, Expensions, the water fans, ammonium receiver, and the Brying Tank. These parts are brought from Kirlosker Company and the maintenance of these are being done by the company itself.

7. Maintenance:-

The machinery maintenance is not a big issue for them because the company itself keeps a check on the machinery working as well as on its parts. If any repair or changes is required they make the same. The banks also helps them for the maintenance of the machines.

8. Stores and Procurement:Vendors Their vendors are Lupin, Chlorine factories, Labs, Fish and Meat
Packaging companies, Civil works.

Inventory Management Their inventory management is very easy as they

have a big issue of inventory like daily they are producing 15 tons ice but in some quarters their demand reduces thus the rest inventory is to be stored for which they have their containers where they store their left inventory.

were using machineries of Super India and of Frick India. But now they use machines of Kirlosker KC3 model.
