Abstract:
Most discrete parts industries in Pakistan are not working in an economical way The major issue confronted by this sector is that not much attention has been focused on this sector (discrete parts manufacturing organizations) for efficient and cost effective running of operations. Much attention has been paid to on process industry or continuous flow industries like fertilizer, sugar, cement etc. The presented work attempts to analyze why most of the discrete parts manufacturing organizations not running in an economical way. To cope with this type of scenario there is need to understand the existing systems in which most discrete parts manufacturing organizations are working. The data is collected, plotted and is compared with the existing model of Volume versus Variety model. For this, first the authors analyzed the current situation in which most of discrete parts manufacturing organizations lie in the Volume-Variety model (well known) discussed different tactics of innovative and protectorate policies, and finally devise some strategies for shifting from this region into the economical diagonal region.
