Abstract

This study is an evaluation of productivity performance of manufacturing industry which produces electrical parts. The evaluation uses simulation techniques. The objectives of this study other than evaluation of current systems performance, also would proposed some productivity improvement. Simulation helps in giving the overview about how good is the real system works. It also shows the measurement of the system performance and condition of the real system in the industry. There are many products in this factory. The production systems follow job shop modeling, where the production starts when there is an order from the customer. The layout of production follows process layout, where the machine arrange in process. Due to many products, this project was focusing on electrical part of Straight Lighting Long product only. Others part based product of the company will not be discussed in the report. From the simulation conducted, it was identified a bottleneck situation in the current production system of electrical part. To improve the situation, some alternatives solution has been proposed. Three alternatives solution has been proposed. These alternatives are: 1) Minimizing batch size; 2) Adding one Welding Machine; 3) A combination of Minimizing batch and adding one welding machine. Among the alternatives, combination of minimizing batch size and adding one welding machine model was selected due to reduce processing time and waiting time.
