Abstract

This research is about the reducing of cycle time to increase the productivity in the lay-up process in the Composite Technology Research Malaysia (CTRM) Sdn Bhd aerospace industry. The selected manufacturing company for this study is a composite fibre for aerospace product industry . This company is one of the composite fibre for aerospace product in Malaysia. Refering to ishikawa, analysis the serious factor for increasing productivity is on cycle time and layout where the process is conducted. Hence the aims of the research is to study the process cycle time based on current standard operating procedure (SOP) of the lay-up process. Through the current cycle time the value added and non-value added activity can be determined and the improvement done by using lean tool and technique in order to reduce the cycle time. Using the Witness simulation software the result show that by utilize the work station from two workstation become three workstation it can increase productivity 25%. The total cycle time also can be improve by 13.4% without any non-value added cost.
