The research gap that this study aims to fill is: increasing the reliability of the previously created simulation model and adopting a representation of uncertainty in the Basic Robochop production process time. This study analyzes the production process time of one basic Robochop unit using ARENA software-based simulation. The Basic Robochop (seven units) is modeled using an activity cycle diagram representing the arrival of its components based on historical data. The model then integrates the components into the production process until completion. The time between the arrival of 50 components of one Basic Robochop product is modeled with a random EXPO(1) minute, the 50 components are then assembled in the Basic Robochop production process which is modeled based on historical data of the previous manufacture of 7 Robochops with one worker, namely 129 + EXPO(1,380) minutes. The model produces a square error value of around 3%. The optimal number of replications obtained was 1,833, after five initial replications were carried out randomly. The simulation results show a decrease in process time from 24,670 minutes to 1,096 minutes in the alternative scenario.
