Abstract

This case study discuss the initial efforts to implement simulation modelling as a visual management and analysis tool at an assembly shop floor that produced door sash. Discreteevent simulation (DES) techniques are used for improving efficiency in manufacturing systems. It allows different test to be carried out by step-by-step alteration. The production shop floor was modelled using WITNESS software to identify bottleneck, and evaluate machine performance, cycle time that are essential for efficient production control. For Projek Sarjana Muda (PSM) report, it consists of the beginning construction of a case study title Manufacturing Modelling and Simulation in a Manufacturing Industry. Here, the problem statements and the objectives of this study have been identified. Besides that, scope of this study and the importance ofthe study and the outline of the study have been reviewed and discuss. For literature review, starting with searching information in reference books and internet especially in the journals for manufacturing information and its history, definition of modelling and simulation, its advantages and disadvantages, importance of simulation and review of previous case study are reviews in general. In methodology, a brief review of purpose of conducting the study are reviewed starting from the beginning of the study until the end of PSM and the basic steps of simulation are discussed. In data collection, general reviews of how the data have been collected are review starting from constructing the data table until the ending of data collection. ln simulation modelling, a review of the results from the simulation that had been done is discussed. There are three alternatives that had been purposed in this case study. From here, the cost effectiveness analysis has been discussed in order to select the best alternatives that effective to be implement and at the same time increasing the output of the production line and save the company budget. For simulation analysis, the validation of the data and the findings is discussed briefly. From the analysis, the best alternative that possible to be implementing is alternative 1, terminate one point at C02 Robot Welding Process. This is because the production cost of C02 Robot Welding Machine and C02 Welding By Hand is the lowest among others alternatives.
