Abstract

Henkel (M) Sdn Bhd is a multinational company from Germany and its main product manufactured is solder wire. Henkel currently focus on minimizing machine breakdown in order to increase its productivity. This project is carried out in order to identify the cause of machine breakdown in extrusion machine and to propose solution to eliminate the identified causes of machine breakdown. This study is started with data collection. The data is collected using check sheet and analysed with Pareto chart. Parts that breakdown the most from equipment with highest failure is identified. Then, brainstorming session is carried out to identify all potential root cause. Less significant root causes were eliminated through survey and interview. Cronbach’s Alpha is used to determine the reliability of the survey. Last, solutions is suggested based on approaches used by other researchers or industries. Certain solutions couldn’t be investigate further due to time constraint and lack of data. The best solutions available will then be proposed to the industry. Implementation is not carried out as defined in scope.
