dc.description.abstract | A well-balanced manufacturing system is key for ensuring a smooth production flow and the
most efficient use of manpower and equipment This study aims to improve the cellular
manufacturing system’s assembly line balance and achieve optimal manpower utilisation at
the bottleneck process. The methodology for evaluating the equipment and manpower
performance for the manufacturing system was WITNESS simulation modelling and
Maynard Operational Sequence Technique. Based on the simulation results, the test process
was the bottleneck and the existing production was struggling to meet the customer demand
due to machine shortages. Overproduction waste and a high work in progress inventory
were discovered due to an imbalance in the Die Clip Bond and Trim and Mark processes
causing overproduction wastes and very high work in progress inventory. A more balanced
production line was observed after changes to the Die Clip Bond, Test and Mark and Test
machine configurations. Inventory wastes at the Die Clip Bond and Trim and Mark were
reduced by 52% and 73%, respectively. The test area’s manpower was kept at two, but two
machines were added to increase the machine capacity and meet expected increases in
customer demand. The top three major contributors to the high manpower utilisation of
98% during stagger break were identified and proposed to be the focus for productivity
improvement projects. Overall, simulation and MOST work study technique have proven to
be effective tools for evaluating the performance of cellular manufacturing system. | en_US |
