Abstract

In an era of increasingly intense industrial competition, operational efficiency and reduced production time become the important factors to increase a company's competitiveness. The production improvement process must be carried out continuously to reduce waste in work methods and time. This research aims to analyze the implementation of lean manufacturing through the Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) method in to reduce set-up time in the injection machine of molding process on CV. XYZ. Lean manufacturing refers to a systematic approach for identifying and eliminating waste through continuous improvement, emphasizing the efficiency and effectiveness of production processes. The research results indicate that implementing SMED significantly reduces set-up time of molding injection machine, increasing productivity, and reducing production downtime. It was obtained a decrease in set-up time by 16.68%, where the mattress replacement time was successfully shortened to 236.96 minutes from the previous 197.44 minutes. Implementation of SMED in CV. XYZ succeeded in identifying internal and external activities that could be simplified or eliminated, as well as optimizing work preparation and completion steps. This can be concluded that the implementation of lean manufacturing through the SMED method is effective in increasing operational efficiency and providing added value for the company.
