KAJIAN ALTERNATIF USULAN KESEIMBANGAN LINTASAN PRODUKSI CV GARUDA PLASTIK DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN SIMULASI

Abstract

The problem in this study is an imbalance in the production line in CV Garuda Plastics due to idle time and have a low productivity. The purpose of this study is to balance the production line so as to increase production output. The initial phase of this research is by measuring the time for each production process. The value of the current production system efficiency is only reached 37.47%. Data collection used in this research is to bet interviews with the owners and workers, the observation of the ongoing production process, and production time data retrieval directly. The data were processed using control chart and adequacy test, then the distribution fitting. To determine the efficiency of the current production system, the simulation model was made using software Promodel. After the simulation model is completed, then the next step is verification and validation of simulation models to compare the results of the simulation and the real system. Making the proposed improvements were made based on the results of the analysis of the results of the current production system simulation using methods Ranked Positional Weights (RPW) to obtain the optimal number of work stations. The result of this research were, first proposed improvement is using RPW method can improve the efficiency of production to 49.96% with three work stations. While the second proposed improvement by using the addition two injection machine and injection machine operators, so as to improve production efficiency to 51%.
