Effect of Combined Processing Lines on Production Efficiency and Productivity

Abstract

The production process usually involves several processes that are divided into production lines. The processes in this production line affect the costs incurred by the company. From the analysis results, the costs arising from production line activities are very high. Therefore, the company strives to reduce production costs by paying attention to the aspects that result in the emergence of waste. The method used is by combining the process on the machining line. This study was conducted to find out the effect of combining process lines on production efficiency. The results of this study are expected to be an input in determining production planning in the enterprise. This study didn’t use sampling. From the results of the study, there was an increase in the daily production of gear A (0.86%) and gear B (1.12%). From this merger, the company was able to optimize manpower and cut production WIP storage areas.
