This further is distributed to various plants based on the demand by the plants through a manual record logging process such as declaration forms & acknowledgment letters.
  2. The goods of 600-700 coils are stored indoor in one warehouse space of LxWxH=60m x 20m x 10m and half of the goods are stored in open space outside the warehouse due to space constraints.
  3. The total time taken for locating the product and loading the product takes approximately 4 hrs Vs 1hrs where the additional time consumed for locating the inventory. The existing system will reduce their dependence on manpower if its fully automated which will perform the below functions :
