Today’s business growth is totally dependent on the productivity and the customer satisfaction through in time delivery and services. This paper reflects the case study conducted at one of the well known sheet metal manufacturing plant AKAR industry which is located in S-70 M.I.D.C. Hingna road Nagpur. The study was carried out in paint line with an aim to reduce the cycle time during operation masking and unmasking the threaded hole of sheet metal component (battery tray) before and after painting process. This study started with observing the operation in paint line, understanding the existing process flow; identify the problem and areas of possible improvements reached. This paper illustrates the Productivity improvement technique formed an integrated platform to help identify the weak areas and improves the lead time for manufacturing process.
