Abstract

This research is used to study and propose solution on palm oil mill screw press machine breakdown using quality tools. This study focused on the screw press breakdown issue in Kanowit Oil Mill. Throughout this study, it can help to identify the critical breakdown type in screw press machine and identified the major cause of the major breakdown. The objectives of this study is to identify the root cause of screw press machine breakdown by using various quality tools and to propose the solution to address the screw press machine failure. The data collection for this study is gained from the interview, survey and historical data. In order to analyse the data collection, some of statistical quality tools were used such as a check-sheet, Pareto chart and Cause and Effect Diagram. The results of this study, showed that the major breakdown was a broken drive shaft. Meanwhile, the sudden breakdown by the entrance of foreign material has been justified as the root cause. To overcome the entrance of foreign materials; the magnetic separator is recommended to be installed for removing of the metal chunk. Besides, trash removal and trash strainer were used to sieve sand, stones or other undesirable materials.
