Summary: | Food packaging industry is competitive in nature, with growth driven by the increasing new
...
product introductions to keep the food fresh for longer periods. In Malaysia,
demand for food packaging product continues to rise from native consumers as well as around
the world due to its necessity to ensure food safety, minimize food wastage and make the food
handling easier. It is therefore necessary for the manufacturers of plastic food packages to do
a production planning in order to meet their customer's requirement by producing the right
amount of best quality product within a specified time. Today, most sectors have taken the
opportunity to adopt simulation-based modelling technique in their operation to improve.
productivity efficiency while reaching their business target, especially for the manufacturing
industry. Key performance indicators (KPis) such as cycle time and quantity may able to
indicate the effectiveness in a manufacturing system. Hence, this work focuses on examining
the variable factors influencing the manufacturing system of food packages using a simulationbased modelling approach. The conceptual model of system must be verified to ensure the
arrangement accuracy of modules used. Furthermore, the simulation model also needs to be
verified and validated to ensure its mimic the real system. Based on the bottleneck analysis
from the basic simulation model, the variable factors including quantity ofraw materials, setup
time of extruder and setup time of forming system are selected for this study. Statistical design
of experiment (DOE) is applied for identifying the effect of factors influencing the production
cycle time and quantity of food packages manufacturing system. Plus, analysis of variance
(ANOVA) is used to assess the main effects of factors and their interactions, whether or not
they are significant. In addition, the sensitivity analysis is performed to determine the effect of
parameter values changes in factors towards the production cycle time and quantity. Finally,
some suggestions on improving the productivity performance of manufacturing system for
food packages are proposed in the study.
