Essential Input

This chapter is based on a case study of one shipyard’s effort to make the flow of engineering drawings feeding into its production process more reliable. To construct a ship, detailed drawings of every part of the product is an essential input. For these drawings to be reliable, they must include all relevant information, they have to follow each other in a proper line of order, and they should be released according to production milestones. In the shipyard in this study, an analysis was initiated to explore the management of engineering drawing. The main findings show that the usability of ICT is limited for this purpose, and that to really make an effort in order for engineering drawings to be reliable, a more basic understanding of the interpersonal communication at work in a one-off project environment is fundamental.

Study Research

The garment industry stands out as the second-largest employer in the manufacturing industry, but it is singled out for environmentally and socially unsustainable practices. In this study, managers of ten companies in Teresina (Piauí State, Brazil) were interviewed to investigate textile waste management methods and instruments and the difficulties and challenges found in management. Methodologically, it was used bibliographical, exploratory, documental and case study research. The research instruments were the questionnaire, direct observation and interview. Data were assessed through content analysis. The results show that part of the production-related waste is donated to manufacture rugs and fuxico, discarded for everyday collection. The conclusion we came across is that the clothing industry in Teresina lacks better management of its production process to generate less waste. When it is not possible to reuse it, dispose of it properly.

Quality Process

The manufacturing industry is always faced with global challenges such as cost effectiveness, lead time, quality, and safety. Lean as a concept of continuous improvement can be a solution in solving the challenge. PT. Compotec International is one of the companies faced with the problem. Basically, the company has implemented lean concept in its production process, but the lack of understanding and commitment of the company in its implementation still leads to the emergence of waste in the production process. Therefore a comprehensive measurement is needed to assess company performance from several dimensions such as time effectiveness, quality, process, cost, human resources, delivery, customer, and inventory. In the previous lean assessment tools research, safety issues that became the basis of production considerations before making improvements have not been taken yet into account. Therefore it is necessary to integrate waste based indicators related to poor safety. Measurements are done qualitatively and quantitatively using aggregate scoring and fuzzy approaches. From the measurement result and then weighted with Brown-Gibson method to get the value of leanness. then the results of these calculations are combined to be visualized in the form of lean radar chart. In this research, it is hoped that the development of new lean assessment can measure lean performance more comprehensively.

Basic Concepts

Engineering Drawing is one of the compulsory courses in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Indonesia. This course aims to equip students with basic understanding and skills in drawing. In this case, this study aimed to develop learning media in the form of interactive multimedia determining the level of eligibility of the developed multimedia, and testing the effectiveness of the developed multimedia in enhancing students’ understanding of the basic concepts of engineering drawings. For this reason, this study used an R and D design with the 4D model to produce and test the effectiveness of the developed multimedia. The product validity test was carried out by two experts, namely one material expert and one media expert. The effectiveness test, onegroup pretest-posttest design was carried out by involving 28 students of the Mechanical Engineering Education study program at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, Bali, Indonesia. The results showed that both material and media experts agreed that the developed multimedia was suitable for teaching equipment in the lecture process. The effectiveness test also showed that multimedia developed effectively increased students’ understanding of the basic concepts of engineering drawings. The use of interactive multimedia could improve students' motivation and independence in learning, thus increasing their understanding of the Engineering Drawing course concepts.
