Scaling production on a budget requires a strategic focus on efficiency. Investing in automation reduces manual workload and boosts productivity. Optimizing supply chain management helps lower costs while maintaining reliability. Enhancing workflow efficiency ensures smoother operations and eliminates waste. A lean, well-structured approach drives sustainable growth without overspending.

When we scaling production with limited funds, then need to focus on efficiency and effectiveness. Based on Lean manufacturing concept, production efficiency should be increased to mach the product cost. Low cost automation is also apply to minimise the manpower cost to reduce the product cost. Team should use reuse, recycle and reduce the consumable consumption as well as packaging cost. Alternative resources should find to lower down the cost all purchases to reduce the over all expanses in consumables and packaging. Just in time manufacturing should be implemented to reduce the cash flow and inventory cost. Cost of poor quality should be track and reduce by CFT with the global benchmark of best practices and by discipline of 4M+1E.

Some following efforts may help to cost reduce in budegitize process. Take out maximum out put from supporting departments, reduce non productive staff & activity. Work on rejection & online audit on final product to maximize output. Align utility control by takes same time change overs in process. Take longer run to avoid frequent change overs. Work with supply chain to find out alternatives source to reduce cost.

To streamline production on a budget: 1. Use affordable tools/software and consider leasing equipment. 2. Reduce Waste by buy materials in bulk, reuse scraps, and optimize material usage. 3. Build supplier relationships for better deals. 4. Use free tools for project management and design efficiency. 5. Train Team to boost efficiency with proper training and clear goals. 6. Optimize Workflow to standardize tasks, batch processes, and eliminate bottlenecks

Following actions to be required... -Effectively planning & training to the downline team to avoid any further delay, rework, breakdown. -Tracking, monitoring & reviewing the execution plan in regular intervals. -Optimize the operational / overhead cost i.e LPFWC (labour, power, fuel, water, chemical & consumables) -If possible to replace the manual activity by automation
