Abstract: The efficient running of any packaging plant makes the organization successful. To achieve the efficiency of the packaging plant we must control and overcome the barriers which make the plant ineffective according to the optimum efficiency. Packaging plays an important role in all of the history of the modern manufacturing whether it is past or in the future. Today industries seek to improve their packaging capability in all the possible ways in order to improve their position in the sector. This paper focuses on packaging industry on the selection and analysis of the barriers which are responsible for inefficiency of the packaging plant. Organizations find difficulties in identifying the barriers which are responsible for the efficiency of the production. So, this requires in depth analysis in selecting the barriers, analyzing the barriers and ranked them according to the power they possess in the packaging industry. We have identified eight barriers which are responsible for the inefficiency of the packaging plant and ranked them according to the power they possess on the packaging industry. We have applied Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) on eight barriers for the analysis. This study focuses on relating each barrier depending on the dependence power and driving power they possess on other barriers. This result helps the organization in overcoming the barriers and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the packaging plant.
