Simulation for Solving Bottom-neck Problem in Light-soaked Divider Mechanic production line

Abstract

The research objective is to find better solutions to solve problem of bottom-neck in production line of light-soaked Divider Mechanic of case study company producing promotional labels, price tag, floor sticker, Stand-up signage for indoor and outdoor use with a comprehensive printing style using system simulation with Arena software. The results were as follows. In case of production of 25 pieces/day, the best way to improve system efficiency is Scenario 4, reducing the completion time of the system of down to 23.12%, and Scenario 3, reducing the system time of down to 22.91% consecutively. In case of production of 50 pieces/day, the best way to improve system efficiency is Scenario 3, reducing the system completion time of down to 23.39% and then Scenario 4, reducing the completion time of the system of down to 22.57% consecutively. In case of production of 100 pieces/day, the best way to improve system efficiency is Scenario 3, reducing the system completion time of down to 24.03%. and then Scenario 4, reducing the completion time of the system of down to 23.03% consecutively.
