This paper describes the proposal of Poka Yoke Roller Coaster (PKYC) jig as a device to detect nut weld missing of door patch base line model (BLM) at assembly line station. The PKYC was proposed in order to detect nut weld missing problem and to reduce cycle time and manpower that lead to higher cost by applying quality management concept as a problem-solving tool. This special purpose tool was capable to meet specific job based on industrial need by providing repeatability, interchangeability and accuracy in the manufacturing of products. A Quality Control (QC) approachcalled the Zero Quality Control (ZQC) was used to achieve zero defects at production line. In order to reach zero defects, poka yoke method was applied in this research. Outcomes indicate that PKYC can be utilised as a custom-tailored jig for detecting nut weld missing as well as fulfilling other objectives.

This paper provides a detailed analysis on the systematic innovation process in improving the quality control of latex gloves production. The systematic innovation tool such as TRIZ is applied in this case study. Function analysis, cause and effect chain analysis, physical contradiction, By-separation model and 40 Inventive Principles are applied in order to derive some feasible and low cost solutions to alleviate the problem. Findings revealed that the rejected (leaking) gloves on the production line will be manually monitored by a checker during the air blowing test and will be discarded by the same checker instantly. The main root cause is that the quality control worker is not able to concentrate all the times to detect the torn gloves, mainly is due to the fast speed production line and other distractions. The problem is solved by applying function analysis, physical contradiction, by-separation tool and Inventive Principles to generate low cost but elegant solutions within the defined scope of several constraints and without making the production line more complex. Therefore, it can be concluded that TRIZ is a systematic and innovative problem solving methodology.

PT XYZ merupakan salah satu perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang industri mebel. Masalah yang dihadapi perusahaan adalah adanya ketidakseimbangan di lintasan produksi akibat ketidakmerataan pembagian beban kerja di setiap stasiun kerja. Hal ini menyebabkan performansi keseimbangan lintasan (line performance) menjadi kurang baik. Untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan ini perlu dilakukan penyeimbangan lintasan produksi. Hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan metode line balancing yaitu metode penugasan sejumlah pekerjaan yang saling berkaitan dalam satu lintasan produksi sehingga setiap stasiun kerja memiliki waktu yang tidak melebihi waktu siklus dari stasiun kerja tersebut. Metode line balancing yang digunakan adalah metode heuristik yang terdiri dari: metode bobot posisi (Ranked Positional Weight), metode pembebanan berurut (Large Candidate Rule), dan metode pendekatan wilayah (Region Approach). Dari ketiga metode Heuristik yang digunakan sebagai solusi penyeimbangan lintasan, terjadi perbaikan performansi dengan nilai yang sama pada lintasan produksi. Nilai efisiensi lintasan (line efficiency) meningkat menjadi 94,07 % dari 62,71 % pada kondisi awal. Nilai keseimbangan waktu senggang (balance delay) turun menjadi 5,92 % dari 37,28 % pada kondisi awal. Waktu menganggur (idle time) turun menjadi 12,39 menit dari 116,87 menit pada kondisi awal. Nilai smoothness index juga turun menjadi 7,44 dari 64,67 pada kondisi awal. PT XYZ is one of the company which refers to furniture industries sector. The problem which faced by this company is unbalance of the production line which is caused by the unequal of work responsibility distribution in each work station. This problem caused the performance of line balance doesn’t work properly. To solve this problem we need to do the line balancing of production line. It can be done by line balancing methode that assigns a number of work which is related in one production line until each work station has efficient time which is not more than the cycle time of the work station. Line balancing methode that used is heuristic methode which is devided into ranked positional weight methode, large candidate rule methode, and region approach methode. From those three heuristic methode that used as solution of line balancing, there was improvement happenned with the same value in doors of production line. Line efficiency increased into 94,07% from 62,71% at the beginning condition. Balance delay increased into 5,92% from 37,28% at the beginning condition. The idle time descreased into 12,39 minutes from 116,87 minutes at the beginning condition. The smoothness index descreased into 7,44 from 64,67 at the beginning condition.

Production scheduling in semiconductor production line is a complex combinatorial optimization problem. It is featured by reentrant production, product variety, frequent machine breakdown and especially reentrant phenomenon and dynamic randomness, which conduces enormous complexity to production line scheduling and management. Based on the resource conflict resolution strategies, dynamic scheduling models for a semiconductor production system are proposed here, aiming at finding maximum machine utilization, optimal man-machine ratio (MMR) and maximum output. Then the validity of the model is illustrated by a simulation case.

The Hoist Scheduling Problem is combinatory, so tools such as mathematical programming need to be used to get the sequence of movements, respecting the constraints of the process by minimizing the cycle time. A sequence in which the order of movements follows the order of the process is known as the basic diagram. These schedules do not have any clearance for the hoist to make any other movements, resulting in a loss in productivity. This chapter takes the production line of a Mexican factory as a case study, analyzing the hoist's travelling speed to find sequences of movements that could improve productivity. The results of the study indicate that the cycle time has a nonlinear behavior in respect of the hoist's travelling speed and it was determined that there are travelling speeds for which sequences are obtained with enough clearance to make other movements and keep other carriers on the line. A suitable speed was estimated in the case.
