Process planning of Door Handle Component Manufacturing Process at PT. Pindad Engineering Indonesia

Abstract

Pindad Enjiniring Indonesia has a make-to-order strategy so that in its activities, it has production activities that are different from the parameters of the machining process. These parameters are taken in manufacturing Release Plate, Carrier Arm, and Padlock components in front door handle projects that were previously made using conventional machines with process planning charged to the operator. This shows that in PT. Pindad Enjiniring Indonesia has no communication between engineering and operators. To overcome these issues, a methodology was carried out that is tailored to particular needs. The methodology uses process planning technology with outputs of working plans with tools to facilitate the production process. The final result of this study was in the form of a working plan document that can be a solution to facilitate communication between the engineering departments with the operator. Thus, the machining/ production time can be significantly reduced to reach the optimum time.
