EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Albert David India is a manufacturing unit, producing antibiotic gelatin tablets and Intravenous fluids. The company has operations in several places including Kolkata, Ghaziabad and Bhopal. We have carried on the project on the Ghaziabad manufacturing unit and tried to understand the operations and the manufacturing process there. Along with this we have studied the layout plan and the site plan of the centre and tried to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the existing system. The report is based on what we found out from the primary observation and also from secondary research. Through this report we have tried to comprehensively cover the whole operations and thereby suggest recommendations that can improve the process as a whole.
