| Summary: | The aim of this study is to study the implementation of industrial engineering tools in selected manufacturing company to identify the highest defects occurred at the company production lines and propose new methods to the selected manufacturing company for defects reduction and thus improve the productivity of the company. The chosen company is Global Factor Sdn Bhd and the product being analyzed is marker pen. The production process of marker pen is studied to understand the overall process flow before the studied can be starts. The study mainly focuses on 7 Quality Control but not all of the tools are used in this study research. The selected tools used are Check Sheet, Pareto Diagram, Cause and Effect Diagram, and Flowchart. The main product in this company is marker pen which are almost totally the process is in house production. Every product defects is jotted down into check sheet. Next, the data is arranged in descending from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency defects to form a pareto chart. So, the highest frequency can be determined to analysis purpose. Miss printing shots has the highest frequency thus selected to be analyzed. Then, the cause and effect diagram is drawn as the miss printing shots is the effect while the cause of effect is determined by 4M (Machine, Man, Method, and Material). From cause and effect diagram, only a few causes that contributes the most to defects is selected to be discussed with the operator of the machine. The solution to the problems is suggested to the company to apply. One of the solutions is combine the used printing film with the new printing film using cellophane tape. The cost involved in the implementation of new method is calculated. The result of the new and the original method is compared to review the performance of the company. The result of comparison of the new and the original method is the answer of the improvement of the productivity. |
