Abstract

Small manufacturing enterprises are one of the main components of the industrial manufacturing scenes in Malaysia.Operating in small scale,these kind of business are rarely able to compete with the industrial giants when it comes to producing goods in huge scale. Inferiority in equipment and financial supports are always associated with the small manufacturing enterprises when it comes to competition with these huge industries.However,small scale business have one big advantage:lesser investment cost needed for both setup and operations,as many small business tends to invests only on the very critical sectors with costs as less as possible.However,the investor had to juggles whether they had to invest more on the plant to ensure smooth production flow or to simply minimize the cost at a possible price of reduced product quality.Recent developments regarding the Single-Minute Exchange Die is considered a positive new as it enables the investors to reducing their costs on plant setup or re-assembly process as SMED concept intends to reduce setup costs, while maintaining the production momentum.The improvement of plant with the SMED concepts will enable not just reduced cost,but apparently reduces further strain on workers,who had to deal with a long and complex setup process for a long time.Also,the implementation of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) decision-making tool will enables the company to better observe which sector needs critical observation with weightage based on the relevant information on site.The outcome of this project are the designing of a tool that could improve the fool proofing method on the quality inspection,in which the tool also adapted some of the SMED concepts which includes interchangeability and quick maintenance capabilities.
