The small-scale enterprises are facing a stiff competition from the changing global environment. The obstacles for productivity in an enterprise are from both internal and external in nature. Internal obstacles are manageable by the in-house effort from SSE but external obstacles are influenced by various outreach parameters. The present paper tried to focus on effect of external obstacles on productivity through a case-study analysis and a methodology for productivity for its improvement. This paper emphasized to address the most significant external obstacles for productivity improvement under the changing global environment.

This paper attempts to focus on effects of lean tools when applied in small enterprises particularly in manufacturing sector. In this competitive world, muda is to be reduced and the result there from is for better productivity and simultaneously cost-curtailment in production sphere of manufacturing. In this paper two tools of lean i.e., kaizen and why-why analysis have been applied over small manufacturing enterprise and its impact for the betterment of cost-effectiveness at the shop floor of various component production has been analyzed to ascertain the lean concept which can be applied in the small enterprises for its betterment & making it competitive in the global market.

The small scale enterprises (SSE) involved in manufacturing are facing critical problems for marketing their products consistently. As the SSE is not having huge financial backup, they are helpless when unable to get repetitive order. Causes relating to this problem arc mostly either due to quality or productivity of the SSE. The product sales can only be continuous if the manufactured product is meeting the desired level of standard and quantity of the customer’s requirement. In this paper, effort has been made to analyse the problems in the context of Productivity-Quality relationship by applying lean tools in a small manufacturing unit. A mathematical model has been developed based on ranks of productivity and quality, which has been validated, by statistical test and requisite graphical presentation drawn for it as well. This shows if the quality of the product is increased, number of complaints is less and the productivity will increase automatically. This has been proved in this case study analysis under the assumption that whatever being produced is sold, there is a huge demand for the SSE products as well.

This paper attempts to focus on the utilization of fly ash. Fly ash, a by-product from the combustion of coal in thermal power plants, is generated to the tune about 160-180 million tone in India per annum. Disposal of this huge quantity of ash is a challenging task and the generated ash is creating a lot of environmental problems. One of the best options for the effective disposal of fly ash is its utilization in building materials as bricks, blocks and cement. The problem with fly ash lies in the fact that its disposal requires large quantities of land, water and energy. For their weightlessness it can become air born easily and cause deleterious health hazards by polluting air, soil and water.
