How inefficient are we???
Witnessed a team of 3 people unloading 6 paper reels of 38" Diameter weighing around 800 Kilos, this is how they started
1) Took out the reels from the Storage Godown using wooden planks and chocks to roll the Paper reels out of the Godown, as they were stacked on top of each other some of them fell heavily on the floor, if an accident would happen doing this, consider the cost of medical, insurance, police etc., damage to the roll resulting in wastage unaccounted for
2) Rolled them on the floor using the old and crude Lever and push method till the waiting vehicle(Damages to the rolls not accounted for)
3) Vehicle hired was so small that it could take only 2 reels at a time, so loaded 2 rolls at a time 3 times
4) Vehicle made 3 trips back and forth from Godown to the factory
5) How they handled it at the factory remains a mystery, if the same method was used at the Godown add more hours
Total time taken for a the operation 6 Working hours of 3 people and 3 tempo trips, how inefficient can we be. i.e. 6 x 3= 18 Man hours + Tempo Charges, so a math of 3 hours per roll !!!!!!!!!!
We need to be more efficient by employing the right tools (equipment + people) to get the job done
If a Forklift with a Paper Roll clamp was employed it would have done this job in less than an hour, with minimal damage to the Paper rolls, Injuries to people performing the operation and would have saved a lot of time and money
