Abstract

This study was to improved the material supply system of the parts in the assembly area of PHN Industry. The problems occurred at the production area involding with the temporary inventory called Link Process System (LPS) and the used of big metal container for material supply. These problems create improper material handling of the parts, delay delivery of parts to the workstation, and create unnecessary movement for the workes. Some actions had been proposed to enhanced these problem.Simulation was conducted using Simul8 to find out the production capability by comparing with the current and the proposed improvement system. The simulation result shows that the proposed improvement technique can improve the productivity by reducing delivery time of parts by 20 minutes to the workstation. Based on the result, the current system create an average waiting time of 19.91 minutes while the improvement system reduced the waiting time to 2.32 minutes. This significant result shows that the proposed technique was more efficient than the current. The consideration taken were delivery time, the moving distance of workers, the waiting time at the workstation 1, and the area reduced at the production plant.
