Abstract

As the 4th year Bachelor Degree student, the requirement is to conduct a final year project in within 2 semester period in order to fulfill the requirements of Bachelor of Manufacturing Engineering course. The purpose of the final year project is to expose the students to engineering practice, professionalism engineering behavior, communication skills, build self confidence and instill the right work attitude within the students in order apply theory and practical knowledge in for future used by the way of conducting a final year project which title “Productivity Performance Improvement in A Manufacturing Company”. The aim of the project is to understand production processes in case company and to analyze the production performance using work measurement by apply time study technique. The author is conducting the project in a Small and Medium Industries named Yew Lee Industrial Brush which manufactures various type of brushes such as household brooms, cleaning brush, baby care brushes, toilet bowl brush, industrial brush, industrial brushes and etc. One of the assembly lines which produce family product model E550 has low productivity output due to the main problem is high processing time regarding to the assembly process. This situation eventually creates the bottleneck on certain processes and causes the inconsistent process flow. Therefore, the productivity improvement techniques such as the takt time calculation, production capacity chart, standardized work combination table, standardized work chart and operator balance chart are proposed in the assembly line. In the nutshell, the involvement of author in conducting the final year project has given the author a great opportunity to experience the real working environment, enhance soft and technical skills, build up confidence level and lastly, the professional engineering ethics within the author.
