Abstract

Sparkle Precision Sdn Bhd manufactures stationeries for office usage. Some of its products are ink stamp, marker, and highlighter. However, production line of EK300 marker pen can be run more efficiently when with some improvement. Current assembly line for EK300 marker pen consists of automated and manual machines. The manual machine on the assembly line is currently the bottleneck of the operation. In this research, improvement in machine design and machine system for the manual machines was proposed. The proposed improvement in design and system resulted in a conversion to a fully automated system. The study proposed the new machine design by the use of Solidwork software. Simulation of the new proposed automated system was carried out also using Solidwork by which the cycle time was estimated. The proposed machine system design was simulated using CX Programmer software. Based on the simulations, the cycle time was reduced by 53%. Based on the ROI analysis, the investment can be recovered within a month of production run using the new proposed automated system.
