Smart Thinking

Problem/Solution

In a soap manufacturing company at Japan, they were making bathing soaps.

The soap blocks were made, then wrapped in a wrapping paper automatically
on an assembly conveyor belt and finally packed in cartons.

Many times it happened that the wrapping machine would wrapped the paper
without soap. i.e. you had an empty packet without soap.

To rectify this problem the Japanese company bought a x-ray scanner from
the USA, for $60,000/- to check on the assembly line whether the container
contained soap and wasn't empty.

A similar problem happened at Nirma Soap Factory in Gujarat ( India )
Could you Guess what the Gujjus  did?

They bought a Crompton fan costing around $30 and placed it on the
edge of the assembly line to sort this problem !

The empty wrappers without soaps just blew away since they are almost
weightless without the soap inside he wrapper.

And it worked...It worked very well....
