Abstract

This case study focuses on identifying, simulating, analyzing and proposing solution for the selected topics and involved in certain industry. This study was conducted in packaging line of Everts (M) Sdn Bhd, a balloon manufacturing company, located in Malacca, Malaysia. The study mainly focuses on several problems and issues in current packaging line of Everts (M) Sdn Bhd. The problems are the packaging line could not reach their monthly target and meet the demand requirement by the customer. The other problem is the ergonomic issue at the workstations. Simulation modeling of line balancing is used as the method to solve the problems in the packaging line. Line balancing is an effective tool that used to eliminate the bottleneck issue and improve the throughput of the packaging line. The simulation modeling evaluates the performance of current packaging line and compares the performance of a new improved system with the actual system. Occupational Repetitive Action (OCRA) and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA)are used as the methods to analyze the ergonomic issues such as repetitive motion at the packaging line. By using the simulation modeling technique of line balancing, the packaging line’s rate of efficiency will increase as the demand requirement is met. The improved performance then will increase the productivity of the packaging line. The ergonomic assessment by using Occupational Repetitive Action (OCRA) and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) will help to eliminate the ergonomic issues at the packaging line. The case study results in improvement at packaging line of Everts (M) Sdn Bhd.
