Abstract

This report presents the analysis of material handling for automotive assembly process. In order to improve automotive assembly process, the improvement of material handling need to be done as well as it will give positive effect to the productivity and efficiency. It also may improve company operational performance. Basically, the purpose of this project is to analyze theperformance of the new development of kit supply system that is used to supply materials from warehouse to assembly line. There are several problems are arisesduring the assembly process such as the parts are not properly place inside the old kit which all the parts are mix together that will lead to part rejection issues, scratches and part miss out, parts are stored at the line side of assembly line instead of in the warehouse, the operator walking steps to pick parts at the kit supply is over four steps, operator pick and bring the parts repeatedly and operator takes more time to select parts. These will affect the productivity and efficiency.Generally, the methodology comprise of three parts which is planning, design of model and analysis. In planning, the whole system include production line, kit supply system and parts need to be understand first to proceed with design of model. After doing a design of bin and cart model, the material supply, operator walking steps, part segregation and time picking parts method are ready to be analyzed. The result shows that the kit supply ratio over increase to 95%, bin separate by process location with one time pick from cart, reducing in operator walking steps and reducing in time for operator when picking parts. As a conclusion, the new kit supply system increases the productivity and efficiency of automotive assembly process.
