Increasing capacity in the production line of the industrial detergent production line in Chonburi province

Abstract

      The objective of this research is to study the increase in productivity from improving production ability. and to increase production capacity (O.A) to 85% of the production system It will help produce the highest quality products. Helps produce at the lowest cost. The time from production to delivery of products to customers is minimal. The important things that will bring results are two pillars: 1. Just in time (JUST-IN-TIME) and 2. JIDOKA (JIDOKA) which will create a complete TPS house. Research tools include evaluation forms, record-keeping, and continuous improvement. Analyze the problem Collect data daily Then analyze the obtained data. The results of the research found that the production line had an O.A. value that was lower than the company's target set by visiting the work site. and checked the information and found that there is a production cycle time that is not constant because there is waste that occurs in production. Therefore, an analysis was carried out to find the cause. By surveying the work area and finding various causes that cause problems with wastage, an analysis was performed using the 5 Whys principle to find the cause of the wastage problem. The main reasons are as follows: people leaving the line, waiting for parts, waiting for pallets, broken work, broken machinery. and perform kaizen to solve problems. The results obtained from Kaizen are all problems of waste, except for waiting for the pallet. As a result, production capacity increased from the original 74% to 93.7%. The reason the problem of waiting for pallets could not be solved is because There is more production than necessary. As a result, the pallets cannot be reused in time. In addition to Kaizen, the problem of wastage is a problem. The researcher has presented the idea of adjusting the production line to a piece-by-piece production model to avoid piles of work. and adjust working hours to keep the production cycle time stable.
