Maximizing Machine Efficiency in Indonesia's Noodle Industry

Abstract

This study utilizes the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) method, focusing on the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to evaluate machine efficiency within a notable Indonesian noodle manufacturer. In the rapidly growing food manufacturing industry, particularly dry and instant noodles, machine performance is critical for meeting increasing domestic and international market demands. Results reveal that the OEE values are below industry standards, primarily due to speed reductions, idle and minor stoppages, process defects, and breakdown losses. These findings emphasize the urgent need for preventive maintenance strategies to mitigate downtime and enhance productivity, providing valuable insights for global industries facing similar challenges. Highlights: Rapid growth in the food manufacturing industry demands increased productivity. Machine performance is crucial for maintaining optimal production processes. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) methods help measure and improve machine efficiency. Keywords: Total Productive Maintenance, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, Six Big Losses.
