INTRODUCTION ABOUT PARLE’S
PRODUCT
Parle a name known for its original products. Parle is always the one to
introduce a type of biscuits while the other follow suit. Parle started as a
small scale industry in 1929. It started production of biscuits, which we
still enjoy as ‘Parle-G’.
‘Hide n Seek’ everyone has played this game for sure. Here my tongue
plays this game with the chocolate chips each time I take a bite of Hide
n Seek.
‘Hide n’ Seek’ comes from the house of Parle. What distract me are the
chocolate chips hidden in the biscuits. Hide n’ Seek are square shaped
biscuits with diagonal ridges and small grooves filled with chocolate
chips.

main concept of repetitive process, there is continuously raw material is
feed into machine. Machines are moderately flexible.

Less work in progress inventory.
Advantages:-
Availability of power:-

and sufficient space between the packaging centre
In this material are fed into first machine and finished product come out

The machines used are special purpose machines for product layout.
Scheduling approach:-
Observations :
Two machine are kept horizontal to each other so that it save the space
and sufficient space between the packaging centre
Procedure:
First of all the Parle products buys Raw Material from the various
suppliers and stored into the store room. This raw material is then sent to
laboratory for testing and after testing only it is used for manufacturing.
Such a mixture of raw material is taken and mixed into STEPHAN
MIXTURE, which is high power mixture machine. Specially made for
mixture of dough, from which the mixture is passed to molder called
ROTARY MOULDER. Through that moulder approximately 10,000
come out in a minute. Moulder had 260 cups fitted in it which gives
shape to the biscuits and an impression embossed on it of Parle G.
14
From rotary moulder the dough is passed through a 260 feet long OVEN
which is approximately 340 degree Celsius.
Removal of moisture.
From oven the hot biscuits are placed on the COOLING CONVYOR,
which is 260 feet long and the biscuits continues to run on it for 5 to 7
minutes so that the biscuits become cool and all the moisture that
biscuits contain gets evaporated. And because of the above reason the
factory has “S FLOW LAYOUT” in the factory.
The conveyor continues till the biscuits reach the STALKING TABLE
at which the biscuits are packed in very orderly manner.
15
From stalking table the biscuits are moved on conveyor to MULTI
PACK WRAPPING MACHINE were 16 biscuits are packed into a
regular Parle g wrapper so that the weight of 16 biscuits comes up to
100 grams.
RAW MATERIAL
Wheat flour
Sugar
Invert syrup
Milk solids
16
Salt
The raw material is mixed in certain proportion, to get the best quality
of biscuits. All the ingredients are tested in laboratory so that no low
quality of raw material is used in manufacturing process. The raw
material is tested for their acidic value, moisture it contains, and quality
of milk powder.

WASTAGES
17
There are two type of wastage in factory. First is the waste materials
fallen on ground. Such waste material is of 1% which is marginal and
acceptable which goes into total waste. Second types of waste are the
biscuit collected in tray of the multi-pack wrapping machine, since these
biscuit are broken they are not packed and sold to the customer but
collected in other tray and sold as broken pieces and sold for less price
for cattle feeding.
LOOSE BISCUIT
On the stalking table one to two rows of baked biscuits are kept aside for
selling it as loose biscuits. They are normally assumed to be damaged
biscuits but they are not damaged or broken but company keep such
loose packets of biscuits to sell it to the local people for marginal rate of
33 Rs / kg. This is practiced in other plants of Parle Company.
