This is the heart of the proposal. Normally a paragraph, is all that is required to describe exactly what the problem is. Since the statement of the problem should be very brief, it is necessary to explain separately what the background to the problem is. Clarify the area of concern, or what needs justify the research. Any information that helps the evaluator to understand the problem may be included. Indicate why you believe that it is, in fact, a researchable problem), RESEARCH OBJECTIVES (at least 3 objectives), AIM (aim of the research project). Here are the guidelines of how to write: You may list certain fundamental research objectives or questions or underlying assumptions fundamental to your research. Please provide either an objective or a research question one is sufficient. The Research Review Guidelines specifically evaluate whether the objectives are well articulated and whether they are realistic and attainable. In writing the proposal, it is important to remain focused on the objectives. State the objectives that will enable you to meet the stated aims. SMART objectives, SMART objectives are those that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, helping to create clarity, focus, and accountability for achieving goals.
Topic/Title:
Design and Implementation of a Real-Time Part Delivery Tracking for a Production Line Optimization at an automotive company.
PROBLEM STATEMANT
Automotive production lines depend on timely and accurate delivery of parts to workstations to maintain throughput and avoid costly stoppages. Many companies still rely on manual handovers, paper-based records, or intermittent scans that create visibility gaps, delays, and mismatches between scheduled and actual part delivery. These shortcomings lead to line downtime, increased labor for searches and corrections, inventory buffering, and suboptimal production scheduling. The researchable problem is to determine whether a real-time part delivery tracking system can be designed and implemented to provide continuous, high-resolution visibility of part movements, integrate with production scheduling, and demonstrably reduce delivery-related disruptions. This project will investigate technical design choices (sensors, communication, and software), integration challenges with existing processes, and measurable impacts on production line performance, thereby clarifying feasibility and expected benefits in an automotive manufacturing context.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES (3 objectives)
Design and implement a prototype real-time part delivery tracking system that captures location and status of parts across the production area, achieving at least 90% tracking accuracy for tagged parts and end-to-end visibility within the workshop by the end of the project (project timeline: 6 months).
Integrate the tracking data with the production scheduling interface and develop operational dashboards and alerts to reduce production line stoppages caused by part shortages or misplacements by at least 25% within 6 months of system deployment, as measured by incident logs and downtime records.
Evaluate system performance and economic impact through controlled trials and data analysis, demonstrating a measurable improvement in average part retrieval time (target: ≥15% reduction) and producing a documented cost–benefit assessment and implementation recommendations within the project timeframe.
AIM
The aim of this research project is to design, implement, and evaluate a real-time part delivery tracking system that enhances visibility and coordination on the production line, thereby optimizing line performance and reducing delivery-related disruptions in an automotive manufacturing environment.
