Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) operates a manufacturing facility in Narsapura, Karnataka, which is dedicated to producing motorcycles and scooters for the Indian market. The plant adheres to Honda's global manufacturing standards and employs advanced technology to ensure the production of high-quality vehicles. With a focus on efficiency, quality control, and continuous improvement, HMSI Narsapura plays a vital role in meeting the demands of customers and maintaining Honda's reputation for reliability and innovation. A study analysis conducted at the industrial setting reveals several areas for improvement. It identifies production losses and ergonomic risks units as key challenges. These problems affect operational efficiency, leading to line losses and hindering productivity. To address these issues, the study recommends measures such as minimizing damages and scratches during the manufacturing process through improved training and expertise. It also suggests mitigating matching difficulty by implementing standardized procedures and enhancing tools or technologies. By implementing these recommendations, the aim is to reduce the time required to address production delay problems, thus improving overall operational efficiency. In terms of material handling, the study identifies the negative impact on a worker's health and safety when manually pushing a cart. A survey conducted among workers reveals concerns such as back pain from repetitive movements and wrist pain from pushing heavy items. To address these issues, a new push cart design is proposed, leveraging CAD designing software. This redesigned cart aims to provide ergonomic solutions by reducing stress on the worker's body during material handling tasks. Implementing the new cart design is expected to enhance worker safety, reduce injuries, and improve productivity by minimizing physical strain and fatigue.
