Optimization of Production Process Time with Network/PERT Analysis Technique and SMED Method

Abstract

As a company that does the production process based on orders from customers, the timeliness of completion of the product and the quality of the product is important. Companies were given a period of time to complete the order. So that the company can complete orders on time, the company must have good production planning. For scheduling was done by the method of analysis of network / PERT and SMED method. The study of literature and data collection either through observation, interviews and the collection of documentation do. Data processing is done is identify the critical path with network analysis techniques / methods PERT by collecting data while optimistic, pessimistic and then with accelerating network machine set-up time with SMED method then obtained acceleration time from 10:58 hours to 8 hours set-up compacting machine so that the time that they got 2.6 hours wane. Thus the method SMED obtain optimum results even though they can be accelerated by other methods.
