Abstract
This study is about an evaluation on capacity of casting industry by using simulation. This study focuses on the manufacturing system of ABC Company which is mainly produces aluminum casting product. Data collection was performed through personal observation, personnel interview, and time study of the processes. The gathered data was analyzed and identified to find the best fitted distribution by using Goodness of Fit test before simulate in the simulation software. The model of the production system was built to imitate the current manufacturing process of ABC Company. The model was simulated using PROMODEL to forecast the manufacturing performance of coming next 3 months. The animation result and graphs was shown in the simulation software. Based on the outcome, the actual behavior of the production system can be known and the bottleneck production was identified. Major roots cause bottleneck production was included in the discussion part of this study. In order to improve the current manufacturing performance, two alternatives were proposed to ABC Company to solve the bottleneck problem. For alternative A, a milling machine was added into manufacturing system; for alternative B, a GDC machine was shut down. After comparison between alternative A and B, alternative A was selected.
