Abstract

The title of the project is Implementation of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) on Automatic Blister(AB) Machine at Textile Manufacturing Company. The OEE is a tool for determining the level of effectiveness of the use of equipment. This project aims to implement and determine the machine's level of effectiveness by using the OEE method, identify the factors causing the six big losses using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), and provide suggestions for improvements to increase the effectiveness of the machine. This study was conducted on a machine in the packaging department, the AB Packaging Machine. The company is engaged in sewing products such as needles, safety pins, hooks, and eyes, The AB Packaging Machine is a machine used to pack products with straight pins. The implementation of OEE at the AB Packaging Machine obtained 79.64%, which is below the OEE standard, 85%. Then, continue by analyzing the losses on this machine using six big losses. From the six big losses analysis, it is known that the dominant loss is speed losses are 48.15%, and the second-largest loss is setup and adjustment losses, which is 39.16%. Both of these losses result in low OEE values on AB packaging machines. After that, the Fishbone diagram is used to find the root cause of the losses. The cause found is no clear Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and machine design. To increase the machine's efficiency and reduce the value of the six big losses on the packaging machine, the FMEA was performed to determine the most critical cause. FMEA is a procedure to identify potential causes of product failures. Two suggestions for improvements to reduce losses are to provide training to the operator to minimize breakdown time. The second recommendation is to provide a clear SOP to the operator to reduce the speed losses.
