Abstract

Production line output is the back bone of a successful manufacturing industry. However, it is a common situation where the production line output of a company is not sufficiently efficient. In this case study, an assembly process in specific factory is studied. The data of assembly line in a specific factory is collected and recorded. The data includes the explanation of task, duration of time needed to complete the task and number of workers and machines involved in a specific work station. From the data, analysis will be carried out to identify the root cause of inefficiency of production line output. After researching on methods to improve the production line output, a solution will be generated so as to improve the company’s production line output. A simulation of the actual assembly line will be carried out to detect the cause of inefficiency. Lean manufacturing method which is to eliminate delay will be applied to increase the efficiency of production line. Apart from that, the skill of the operator in charge in the process and layout of the plant will be discussed as both factors give effect to the efficiency of production line. By considering these factors, the efficiency of production line can be improved significantly.
