【 摘 要 】

Research and Innovation offer facilitation, fulfil the day to day requirements, and bring sophisticated things to the society. In industries such facilitation reduces the fatigue, employee morale and improves productivity. The research is focused on such requirement for gear box manufacturing industries. The Six sigma approach of Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, Simplify (ECRS) method and cycle time analysis were carried out to understanding the problem and solution requirements. The newly mechanized equipment was installed and tested. The result shows that cycle time reduced significantly and reduced employee fatigue and raised morale to a great extent. The designed equipment is a general purpose to improve the productivity of similar industries.
