Modernization and Rehabilitation of Forging and Machine Shop in Bangladesh Machine Tools Factory (BMTF)

Abstract

This study has covered an analysis of the present scenario of the Machine Shop and Forging Shop of Bangladesh Machine Tools Factory (BMTF) for rehabilitation and modernization. To transform the Machine Shop and Forging Shop of Bangladesh Machine Tools Factory (BMTF) into a modern manufacturing facility, the Modernization and Rehabilitation of this organization are very important. A discrepancy between the capacity of an organization and the demands of its customers results in inefficiency, either in under-utilized resources or unfulfilled customers. The goal of capacity planning is to minimize this discrepancy. Capacity can be increased by introducing new techniques, equipment and materials, increasing the number of workers or machines, increasing the number of shifts, or acquiring additional production facilities. The condition of the existing facilities of the Machine Shop and Forging Shop in BMTF has been studied. It has been found that most of the machines were running with decreased capacity due to ageing, lack of proper maintenance, etc. Some of the machines can be discarded immediately. Some machines need to be replaced with new CNC machines to enhance quality and productivity.
