Abstract

The use of Kaizen at Textile Manufacturing Company is the main topic of this study. Kaizen is a continuous improvement methodology that attempts to improve productivity and efficiency within an organization. The problem statement in this study focuses on the improvement of the cycle time of the filling needles in the magazine process at Textile Manufacturing Company, which is currently 2.6 minutes and might slow down the packaging process. This study’s goal is to evaluate how well Kaizen implementations can improve Textile Manufacturing Company's work process cycle time. The study entails a comprehensive examination of the existing workflows and pinpointing opportunities for enhancement of the packaging needles in the magazine section at the Textile Manufacturing Company. Current performance levels are measured by gathering information using time measurements, interviews, and observations. After that, the data is then examined to find any inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas where improvement could be made. Kaizen approaches is used to analyzed the work processes, get rid of unnecessary tasks, and raise overall productivity due to cycle time improvement. The efficacy of the implemented strategies is ascertained by measuring and assessing the impact of the modifications that have been put into place to the current cycle time. The findings of this study include the identification of the primary cause of impact based on the highest rpn in the FMEA and the root cause from the Ishikawa diagram. The result of this study is an improvement of the work process cycle time by 39.36%.
