Tiivistelmä
Throughout Finland's independence, industrial production has been a vital generator of economic growth in the country hence the need to constantly improve Finnish industrial machines.
The objective of the study was to improve the performance and efficiency of Wrap Around Packaging Machine in Famifarm Oy, Finland. The study ascertained the current performance and efficiency of the machine and proposed strategic means of improving on its operation.
The research was carried out using qualitative research methodology. This included several research tools such as Active Participating and Observation Interviewing, Audios, Videos and Pictures, Emails, Primary and Secondary Data Collection, Review of Literature, Documents and Materials Analysis. Qualitative research was adopted to make the analysis of the study more feasible.
The study ascertained that some factors such as intermittent failure barcode reading, long packaging waiting time, and improper quality packaging cases were some of the problems that affected the performance and efficiency of the machine. The production output was also determined to have reduced to a larger amount.
Consequently the study seeks to provide stepwise recommendations to solve most of the problems affecting the efficiency and performance of the Wrap Around Packaging Machine. The study also recommended that the glue-drying waiting time should be decreased to help increase production speed. A model was also proposed to help conserve energy in Famifarm Oy. The third chapter of the study provides an exhaustive analysis of the main failures affecting the performance and efficiency of the Wrap Around Machine.
