An analysis of the operational problems at packing station of Kilang Gula Felda Perlis Sdn. Bhd

Abstract

Manufacturing high-quality products at the lowest possible cost requires an understanding of the often complex relationships among many factors. In the manufacturing shop floor, the process and the product quality are the important aspect to be taking care. Globally manufacturing are aiming for the further improvement. In United States, continuous improvement in quality always have it major priority. While in Japan, the single term kaizen is used; it signifies never-ending improvement. Thus, major advances in quality engineering and productivity have been made. This project is undergoes at Kilang Gula Felda Perlis Sdn.Bhd (KGFP), which aim for the continuous process improvement over the packaging station. Candidate require to understanding a dedicated process in real plant, identify the problems and the causes that bring low quality and productivity embedded in the process. By using the quality tools (which include pareto analysis, histogram, bar chart, flow-chart, check sheet, scatter diagram, cause-n-effect analysis, brainstorming, 7 new management tools, etc) and engineering tools, candidate needs to have the problem’s data present, have analysis prior to have the problems statement. Gathering all the comment, data, knowledge and relevant research, candidate needs to proposed an improvement method and implement it on the real plant. Analysis works using the quality tools and engineering tools need to be performed to verify indeed the process has improved.
