Abstract

Micro-scale bag manufacturing businesses often facechallenges regarding the management of manualproduction systems, leading to workflow imbalances. Thisstudy focuses on a bag-making MSME in Sukoharjo thatoperates on a made-to-order basis with a single-operatorsetup. The primary issue is a critical bottleneck at thepattern-making stage, which consumes up to three hours—equivalent to 37.5% of the total daily production time for a single custom bag. This results in a buildup of Work-in-Process (WIP) inventory and reduced production flow efficiency. The study aims to identify the production process flow, pinpoint bottleneck locations, and design simulation-based improvement scenarios to optimize production capacity. The methodology integrates Value StreamMapping (VSM)—to map material and information flows ata macro level—with FlexSim software to dynamically andstochastically simulate manual processing time variability.The proposed improvement strategy focuses on a low-cost,high-impact approach through managerial interventions inworkload management (line balancing), avoiding the needfor significant investment in physical assets. The digitalsimulation results from FlexSim are expected to provide arealistic visualization for minimizing work queues,increasing operator utilization, and maximizing dailyproduction output in a manner that ensures the operationalsustainability of the MSME.
