Abstract

This project attempts to improve production in Small-Medium sized Enterprise (SME) located at Kampung Parit Melana, Durian Tunggal, Melaka which produce traditional foods, Kuih Kapit. The objectives of the study are to study current production process in Small-Medium sized Enterprise including process workflow, cycle time study and layout design, to identify production waste in Small-Medium sized Enterprise by using available production system and to propose production improvement in Small-Medium sized Enterprise. Data collection methods used for this study are observation, video and interview. The current production status and opportunities for improvements have been identified using Process Flow, Cycle Time Study and Layout Design. Three improvement strategies have been proposed in the case study company, which include layout improvement, standardized process flow and modified auto dispenser with safety jig pan. Total time taken for one cycle of Kuih Kapit production is 26.7 seconds. After improvement, the total time is 15.8 seconds. Therefore, the reduction of cycle time is 10.9 seconds. Other than that, modified pan with safety jig and auto dispenser have been designed in order to provide improvement of the production. The productivity of the Kuih Kapit production increases as the percentage difference of the previous and improved production is 0.93%.
