Abstract
Efficiency of industrial production lines is crucial as it results in an improved production and utilization of available resources. Factors contributing to production line efficiency are manpower utilization and machine efficiency. Measuring the machine efficiency and man power utilization should be on-line, accurate and truthful. The management should be able to look for relevant production data and to accurately interpret these data in order to identify the various faults at production level and to immediately take steps to improve efficiency. However, faults are overwritten and reports are retouched with inaccurate information. An accurate and on line data management system can ensure that these problems are overcome.
