office efficiency efficient utilization of resources, because of the market becoming customer oriented and low office
efficiency affects the today's cost environment, . This paper reveals efficiency improvement in office through 'Office TPM'
which is one of the most important pillars out of 8 pillars. Office TPM has the main objective to make an efficient working in
the offices that eliminates losses and regulate out-put by applying 5'S principles that is CANDO (Cleaning, arranging,
neatening, discipline and order in workplace organization. It should be started after activating four other pillars of AM,
Kaizen, PM, and QM. This will improve the office efficiency in manner of resources utilization, improve productivity,
efficiency in the administrative functions, identify and eliminate losses, curtailment of paper work and efficient use of paper
working, improvement in working environment, and self monitoring by employees in achieving laid objectives etc.
Keyword: Office efficiency, Environment, Paper work, Work efficiency.

The targets of an increased productivity, operational availability and better overall efficiency, on the production lines are the
most important goals for almost all manufacturing organizations. The specific objectives of this case study are firstly to
reduce setup time and secondly, reduction in waiting time on the line with focuses on economic lot size and buffer stock.
Design for production (DFP) is a tool to identify the losses in the line and iron out these losses in a systematic way to achieve
improved throughput time, higher efficiency, higher productivity and improved manufacturing cost. The reduction in
throughput time gives a base of 44% increase in production (Refer Sec. 4.0) i.e. present average production quantity of
37805 Nos. gets increased to 54440 Nos. with defining buffer stock and optimal lot size.
Keywords: Setup Time, Buffer Stock, Waiting time, Throughput Time, Economic Lot Size.

The objective of the study is to optimize the process by applying the Taguchi method with orthogonal array robust design.
Taguchi Parameter Design is a powerful and efficient method for optimizing the process, quality and performance output of
manufacturing processes, thus a powerful tool for meeting this challenge. Off-line quality control is considered to be an
effective approach to improve product quality at a relatively low cost. The Taguchi method is one of the conventional
approaches for this purpose. This procedure eliminates the need for repeated experiments, time and conserves the material
by the conventional procedure. Optimization of process parameters is done to have great control over quality, productivity
and cost aspects of the process. Off-line quality control is considered to be an effective approach to improve product quality
at a relatively low cost. The Taguchi method is a powerful tool for designing high quality systems. The approach based on
Taguchi method, the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) is employed to study the
performance characteristics.
