Turnaround Time (TAT), PDCA cycle, Thera-peutic TAT, 5S systemAbstract
The role of the turnaround time (TAT) in the industry is a very important. It not only helps to increase the effective-ness of the working of the industry and laboratories but also helps strengthen the relationship of the customers with the industry authorities. Moreover the effective implementation of the techniques for reduction of turnaround time helps in creating a better atmosphere for the workers in the indus-try by proper time management and its utilization. Various studies have been conducted for the same. There are vari-ous tools and techniques available out there that can help cut down the total TAT in any chain process. Moreover the the reduction of TAT will itself help increase the revenue of the company. Also a new idea of using Internet of Things (IOT) in the industries can along with the systematic practice of 5S system can help further cut down the TAT.
