Abstracts: We the students of mechanical engineering department from Ahmedabad Institute of Technology visited Windsor Machines Limited Company, Extrusion Machinery Division for finding out the industrial problem. While our frequent visits to this company, we observed almost all the different types of extrusion machines were manufactured by the firm such as pipe extrusion machines, blown film extrusion machines, blow moulding machines. As the blown film extrusion machines were tested for quality control we found that a number of troubleshooting operations were performed and a large number of waste was generated while changing the rolls of the film winding unit of the machine. Since the company has more than doubled its turnover in the fiscal year 2009 – 2010 and the company is still improving its turnover by the day. And to improve this we selected this problem which would better the machines productivity. To achieve the said problem solution we are in the process of modification in the machine design to reduce the amount of scrap generated.
