Management

The purpose of this paper is to provide solution to increase the efficiency of Turnaround time of truck at Aavin milk dairy Erode. The time taken to complete the tasks assigned to the trucks inside the industry is known as the turnaround time of the truck. If the number of processes is higher then automatically the vehicle turnaround time will be also higher. There are some movements that could be omitted where the time consuming is large. Logistics plays an important role in every industry where the arrival time and the exit time of the truck matters a lot. The research project is mainly focused on finding the turnaround time of the trucks and reducing it. The readings were taken manually by studying the time of truck at check in process, in weighment area, in taking sample, clearance, time study in unloading and time study of truck in the cleaning & exit area. The crew size management is also studied. Here the size of the crew is not enough to carry out the operations in a well efficient phase. Time is wasted in some operations that affects the efficiency, so relevant crew size is suggested to cut down the wastage of time. During the cleaning of the milk tanker there is a wastage of some raw milk from the tanker after the unloading the process, for this the fish bone diagram is drafted to give solutions to the problem. Thus, on implementing these would definitely bring a huge change to the company by increasing its efficiency and competing effectively with their competitors.
