FMS is a manufacturing system in which there is flexibility that allows the system to react to changes, whether predicted or unpredicted. It is a highly integrated manufacturing system. Oriental Aromatics Ltd. (Formerly Camphor & Allied Prod. Ltd.) is a completely integrated flavour, fragrance and aroma chemical manufacturing companies in the world today. Its three manufacturing centers are spread across the west and north of India, in Ambernath in Maharashtra, Baroda in Gujarat and Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh. It manufactures synthetic camphor, which can be utilised in several different ways. Camphor has several pharmaceutical uses. While it is most commonly used as an anti-inflammatory and decongestant, it also has several other therapeutic and healing effects. The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. In this paper, a concept and implementation of the measuring and analysis of performance measures of FMS is applied.
