Abstract

This study aims to improve productivity of spot weld process by reducing the time loss. Factors such as the movements of workers, time taken to complete the job and cause of the idle time will be measured to enhance productivity. The information about the proposed title gathered through journals, books and others besides of company visit to identify the problem statement and scope. Several methods has been used to analyze the data obtained including check sheet, pareto diagram and cause and effect diagram. Optimum use of a machine provides the benefits in production. Its managed to reduce the amount of time spent and thus increasing the rate of production. Futhermore, the reduction of time in producing a unit of product can also increase the production rate at a time. Repeated movement and access distance which is not practically done in manufacturing must be eliminated in order to increase the productivity. By using a Simul8, a simulation software for process improvement, all the necessary data have been included to visualized the model of assembly process being investigated. The current process flow has been evaluated and all the waste such as repeated movements have been eliminated and time taken to complete the sub-assembly process also has reduced to enhancing the productivity. The improved process flow show the increases of productivity by 9% and also increased percentages of machine utilization thus minimized the idle time of the machines.
