I was working as a Production Co-ordinator at gujarat mitra newspaper. where the main task of the job is In-time Newspaper Production.

I was Working as a Production Supervisor. The main task of the job is to plan the different job on different offset printing machines, quality checking and completion within given time.

Thesis Topic: Process improvement in Packaging Industry Then main task of the thesis is to investigate the each department of the Manipal packaging Industry and calculate the waste generated from each department. During whole thesis work some of the printing job has been followed thoroughly from Pre-press to Post-press and investigated for quality and how much waste had been generated from each department and what are the causes behind that and what are the solutions.
