This Research includes a rich picture of the current state at the line for understanding how the line operates. Along with this observation and interviews have been made. Observations are supported by quantitative data and analyses to justify the problematic situation in the production line. The current state has been analyzed with the help of the theories used and it revealed a distinct gap between the actual production and desired goals for the organization. The company used a methodology of solving the everyday problematic issues by temporary solutions which led to the reappearance of problems again. The Research ends with a discussion of the methodology used along with the findings obtained. The three research questions are answered along with discussions regarding how we could have done this research in a different manner. The research sums up with a section for reliability of the data collected and what future studies can be conducted in the area.
