Abstract

Every manufacturing companies seeks for a solution to increase their productivity. One of the reason that contributes to low productivity in manufacturing process is due to the rework and scrap. This project was done at Company S Sdn. Bhd. that produces electrical cable which is flexible link. The company faces low productivity due to high number of rework and scrap at Cleaning and Drilling process respectively. Thus, this project aims to propose solutions for productivity improvement at Cleaning and Drilling process. The aim is supported by two objectives: i) to analyse the current process flow at Cleaning and Drilling process and ii) to reduce the rework by 50% through improvement of current process flow. The main problem of Cleaning process is residue glue on terminal meanwhile for Drilling process is misalignment hole. There are two main root causes identified in Cleaning and Drilling process: (i) no standard operating procedure and (ii) Cleaning and Drilling technique errors. The concept of work standardization has been applied in order to improve productivity at Cleaning and Drilling process. This project proposed (i) standard operating procedure (SOP) (ii) the design of jig to control the flow of glue and (iii) on job training (OJT) for Cleaning and Drilling process respectively. Besides, some other supportive tools and techniques will be applied as well. Thus, it is expected to reduce 50% of rework at Cleaning and Drilling process.
