Abstract

The study was conducted at Subsea Supplies Sdn Bhd, Sepang. The company was established in 2007 and its main business is to supply steel products. Recently, Subsea Supplies Sdn Bhd has started the production of Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) metal-based products. There are 38 types of products which can be divided into five categories; pole accessories, GI pipes, strut pipe, stainless steel cable ties, and steel pole. Therefore, the company needs to establish cycle time and standard time for the manufacturing of each product in order to determine the production target. This study focused on two TM metal-based products; i.e., bracket for tubular iron pole and iron pole. The cycle time was recorded by using stopwatch for every job element such as cutting, bending, piercing, swaging and welding. The standard cycle time was calculated by considering constant fatigue allowance which was 30 %. This 30 % allowance has become a common practise for this company. Fatigue allowance is the adjustment done to cycle time to obtain the standard time for purpose of recovering the loss time due to personnel need and fatigue that caused by physical and biological nature of the jobs and workers. The cycle time study determined the production target of 10 working hours for bracket (for tubular iron pole) which based on its job elements. The production target were 12860 pieces for cutting, 3500 pieces for bending, and 3960 pieces for piercing. For iron pole, the production target for each job elements; cutting 3 inch pipe, swaging 4 inch pipe, welding, marking spray and wrapping in sack were 550, 870, 840, 1880, 5710 and 3300 pieces, respectively. Based on these production targets, a new production scheme was proposed so that those workers who achieved the production target will be granted incentive payments. The formula of this scheme was developed by following the improshare plan in which the basic concepts is that every product can be evaluated in term of works hours that are required to produce it.
