Conclusion
Ghandhara Nissan is a well known automobile company, seeks to improve its manufacturing processes and desires to produce quality products which can become wow for the customers. Although the processes are very accurate and up to the mark but still there are some problems which we have observed and discussed as under:

Problem # 01:
Observation:

Design of the work place and the facilities on it are not on standard manners, like the tightening guns are almost present here and there on the work floor, which can reduce the face of work (i-e the pipe which is attached with guns are present on the floor and effect the movement of the workers) and can also cause a mishap).

Suggestion:

This problem can be tackle down by changing the pipes attached with gun by introducing contractible spiral (Able to be shrunk or capable of contracting) pipes. Introduction of this will result in contraction of pipe attached with the gun, which will then take less space on floor enabling the workers to move freely.

Problem # 2:
Observation:

The second problem was related to safety of the workers i-e when the workers were involve in mounting the axel with the chahisis, the worker will have to go under the chasis being lift up, with out taking any safty measures which may result in any accident.

Suggestion:

This problem can be solve by taking necessary safety measures like a worker working there should be bound to wear helmet and other necessary measures. There should be a proper safety team to implement and check on the spot whether all the safety measure are followed by the workers or not

Problem # 3:
Observation:

In the ware house there is no separate portion for the defective parts due to which these parts are some time mixed with no defective parts. Also these parts are some time send for assembly which create problems during assembly process and are also detected in the final inspection wasting workers time an skills.

Suggestion

There should be a separate portion for the defective parts and should be properly tagged so that the discrimination between the defective and the non defective one become clear and easy. This will also save workers time working in the ware house in finding the defective parts.

Problem # 4:
Observation:

As we have observed the problems that arises in the ''assembly process'' are mainly due to the locally manufactured parts.

Suggestion

There should be proper evaluation program for purchasing localized parts from local vendors and there priority should be quality not price.

The overall experience is that the staff members of Ghandhara Nissan Limited are much cooperative, caring and confident. The really appreciating thing is the obedience of rules and regulations prescribed by the company. By encompassing a pragmatic blend of methods that drives out waste and reduces defects as perceived by customers, Lean Six Sigma has become an integral tool that successfully transform organizational culture and sets organization on the path to relentlessly pursue perfection and achieve operational excellence.
