Abstract

The Increases of demand from costumers and the number of competitors lead companiesto reduce the cost of non value-added activities. Manufacturing Cycle Effectiveness(MCE) is commonly used as an analytical tool for production activities as well asto see how the non value-added activities are reduced and eliminated from the manufacturingprocess. Companies can reduce and eliminate non value-added activities tomaximize the value the companies. The purpose of this study is to provide empiricalevidence about the application of MCE as a measuring instrument in improving productionefficiencies and in controlling non value added activities at industrial enterprises.Based on the analysis of the MCE, the result shows that the company is notable to reduce non-value-added activities after rejuvenation of machines because thereis a lot of grunt work. The production process is still not running smoothly because alot of improvements still need to be done. Improvements during the production processresulting in decreased production process and waste a lot of waiting time. However,with the rejuvenation of machines, the company can reduce the moving time and inspectiontime.

Highlights

Competition in the global business environment is getting tougher as the number of competitors increase
We conduct a study in PT Bhirawa Steel by comparing the date before and after rejuvenation of machines
CONCLUSION, IMPLICATION, SUGGESTION, AND LIMITATIONS This study aims to provide empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of manufacturing cycle (MCE) implemented in a company in order to reduce and eliminate non value-added activities

Summary

Introduction

Competition in the global business environment is getting tougher as the number of competitors increase. In this condition, companies are required to create value for their customers. Companies are required to create value for their customers They should be able to survive and grow. In doing so, they need to find a way to make improvements to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the production process. According to Mulyadi (2003), the less inputs an activity uses to produce a given outputs the more efficient the activity is. The more outputs can be produced by a given inputs, the more productive the activity is
