Abstract

Total Productive Maintenance(TPM) can be apply in food industry especially in drink products. This research aimed to develop a methodology for increasing the production rate, improving the quality of the products and providing a healthier and safer work environment in Zaliza Food Industries Sdn Bhd. In manufacturing operation, productivity is a vital issue need to be managed in order to increase potency factors such as production output and quality. In this case, productivity and quality observation are the necessary steps before action for improvement are taken. The purpose of this project is to study the Effectiveness of Total Productive Maintenance with the use of eight pillars to applications on the process at the production in the Food Industry. Firstly, we need to understand the concept of TPM, then identify the factor for improvement in increasing daily production yield and lastly may propose the TPM pillar tools at the company. Data is need to be collect to achieve the result for this project. Interview and observation are the methods that are used to gather data for this project. In order to get the result for this project, data obtained from interview and observation will be used in data analysis and discussion. There are two types of collection data that is primary data and secondary data. The tool that been used is Pareto Chart, Fishbone Diagram, and Why-Why Analysis. Pareto Chart function to detect the highest defect among others, Fishbone Diagram is to find the defect root cause and why-Why Analysis is to find a solution to solve the root cause. The finding for this project is what Total Productive Maintenance is on how to increase production and decrease defect through the TPM pillar. Other than that, how do the action need to increase production output by using TPM. The foremost necessary task is to propose a major improvement associated with productivity and quality. Results are obtained after all analysis is completed and the root cause of the problems is identified. It is found that there is a defect product that needs to be eliminated from the process production line. Therefore, a few proposed improvement is done and suggested in this study. One of the suggested improvement is to get improved training for operators in the production line and provide specific Jig at line production inspection. This paper describes what is believed to be the first research that specifically discusses the problems faced by food industry companies with a view to improving production efficiency.
