Abstract

Nowadays, Lean Manufacturing (LM) is a driving method for companies in order to succeed in global competition. The innovations of LM is to reduce and eliminate waste in the production line and improve manufacturing productivity. Having an expert in LM is a good way for companies to balance and maintain in order to deliver a good value to the customers. However, most of the companies use manually recorder data and have complicated measurement procedures. Therefore, this may negatively affect the productivity improvement and time consumed. The aim of this study is to develop a new decision support model of LM tool for LM practitioners which are Overall Equipment Effectiveness Decision Support Tool (OEE-DST). OEE-DST model is a reliable tool to assist the LM practitioner for easy and speed up in decision making to improve the productivity. The framework of OEE-DST model is based on the LM philosophy. The design and development of OEE-DST model was built by using NetBeans in the form of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI). The verification of the OEE-DST model was done by testing the functionality of the interfaces, whereas the validation was performed by using data collected from the industries. The usability study of the OEE-DST model was conducted by constructing questionnaire. The evaluation of the software is based on ISO/IEC 25010:2011 that consist of appropriateness recognizability, learnability, operability, user error protection, user interface aesthetics and accessibility. Based on the results of the questionnaire, majority of the respondents are agreed with the capabilities of the OEE-DST model. In a nutshell, OEE-DST model is a tool which can assist the LM practitioners for decision making.
