Work study At A Central Products Diary

Abstract

Alappuzha Dairy is directly managed by the Kerala Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation. In Alappuzha
district, dairy constructed under OF II with a capacity of 60,000 LPD was later expanded to 1 lakh LPD. The current
problem faced by Alappuzha Milma is the lack of standards at production department. Also, there is a need for assessing
the current manpower strength in the production department. For solving the problems mentioned above there is a need
for conducting a work study. Work measurement technique which is going to be used is time study. Work sampling will
be applied for computing work standards. Appropriate relaxation allowances will be incorporated. The manpower
required for each of the processes per shift will be found out from the standard time obtained i.e. the total work volume
per shift is found out using the standard time and using the time available for each worker per shift the manpower
required per shift will be found.
