Abstract

Reorganizing a layout entails a massive adjustment and thorough planning is essential before a new layout implemented. This project is to reorganize layout at dispatching area of a manufacturing industry which produces apparel accessories products. Current arrangement at the dispatching area of the company shows an interrupted flow path of activities and scattered of queuing cartons at area of activities in the dispatching line which brought to operating issues. The project aims to identify problem in current arrangement of dispatching layout, analyze the the problem and propose an alternative layout that reduces dispatching time. Time studies were applied to collect data on current performance, developing alternative arrangement, and evaluation the alternative through Witness simulation. The finding showed total dispatching time of current layout consumes 30.77 minutes to complete one dispatching job with distance travel of 162.83 meters. Better alternative layout is developed by the approach of facility planning process. Results showed the dispatching time has reduced by 32.79%, which the alternative layout only consumes 20.68 minutes to complete one dispatching job with shorter distance travel of 109.44 meters.

Abstract

Nowadays, the digitalization of the production-based industries is driven by emerging technologies tools. The concept of lean manufacturing (LM) towards Industry 4.0 was developed where data analytics of engineering processes are analyzed and connected to reduce wastes. Many authors discuss about the benefits of extending data analytics as a method to support decision. However, the absence of comprehensive framework on how to embed LM and IT tools has existed as a new challenge. The aim of the research is to initiate a framework of model driven decision support system (MD-DSS) where data simulation and communication technologies are accompanied for manufacturing process improvement. In this research, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) data was captured through internet networking system and simulate to predict the improvement output. The main information flow route within MD-DSS are demonstrated in detail to show how decision-making process. To illustrate the applicability of the MD-DSS, it has been applied at food industry in Malaysia. The results show that the MD-DSS can easily be adopted in factories facilited with internet network to support decision-making of improvement plan activities.
