Abstract

The production statistics shows that on in average the number of pages printed at Kandivili branch is 16, 58, 518 lakhs per year. Also the ink consumption statistics shows that the present cost of ink per page is around Rs.1.54. This makes the total cost of ink itself around Rs. 25.95 crores per year in Kandivili branch. The management has identified that this amount is due to not operating the press at optimum ink level and also due to improper handling of ink in the production area. So the management set a benchmark to reduce the ink cost from Rs.1.54 to Rs 1.3 per page by taking some necessary corrective actions through press standardization and quality management. By doing this the company will save Rs. 4.04 cores yearly
