Abstract
A cable manufacturer has produced varieties of products, such as low voltage cables, medium voltage cables, telephone cables, and fiber-optic cables. The main goal this company is to achieve ultimate customers satisfaction through timely delivery, consistency in product quality, and best service. The company faces a problem where daily production cannot reach 6, 000 meters/day as requested by management. Moreover, defects have been found in certain processes. A method of countering those problems is proposed by integrating OEE, SMED, and HFACS. Based on the analysis results, the OEE from insulation and screening machines are not meet the company target which is below 60%. In addition, visual defect shown as the most frequent type of defect that occurred in the medium voltage cable production process with 56%. SMED has been utilized to separate the internal task and external task, then the daily production can achieve 6, 165 meters/day by reducing the setup time based on the simulation result. In addition, HFACS has been used to analyze the main problem due to human factor aspects, then it is recommended to add extra operator, extra material handling for lifting/moving products, and a re-data checking procedure in the business process.
