The X power plant is one of an electric company subsidiaries. Engaged in providing electricity for the certain regions. In general, the type of treatment from X power plant is short and long term maintenance. The application of these two systems helps X power plant to maintain the machines. The author argues that the type of maintenance from X power plant is not or is not yet optimal, the author wants to test whether reliability centered maintenance II treatment method can be applied in X power plant so that the efficiency and maintenance of the machine is in accordance with their individual needs. After implementing the RCM II information worksheet and RCM II decision worksheet, it is found that the existing maintenance management system in X power plant can be. Several incompatibility are detected, and should be matched with the corresponding maintenance method. For further research, the author recommend that the object of research are broadened so that the RCM II method can be used on other energy generating industries.
The number of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) in food processing is increasing. It achieves about 70% from the total businesses established in Indonesia. One of the SME produce wingko, a traditional snack from East Java region which made from coconut, glutinous rice flour, and sugar. The process of making wingko consists of mixing, pouring, baking and packaging that mostly done manually by one or two operators. Through an analysis of the existing condition of the production process, it can be concluded that automation could be achieved with the oven machine, supported by conveyor that utilizes the karakuri kaizen method. This study proposes an integration design of material handling and baking machine that appropriate to be implied in the SME. Furthermore, calculation of indicators to measure the successfulness of the automation implementation is also conducted. The new system performs a significant improvement. This machine reduced the cycle time around 39%, especially in mixing and baking process. The manufacturing lead time is decreased about 55 minutes, while the production capacity is increased to 7 units per hour.
