Pengendalian Persediaan Sparepart dengan Menggunakan Metode Fifo di Warehouse di PT.Heinz ABC Indonesia Pasuruan

Spare parts inventory is a common problem faced by many companies that use lots of machines or robots in their production processes. Where the spare parts warehouse in the company is required to always be prepared and there is no delay in the availability of spare parts to continue to support production machine activities. If the availability of spare parts is late or empty, it will hamper the production process activities within the company. Seeing this problem, researchers are trying to maintain the availability of spare parts using the FIFO (first in first out) method so as to prevent delays or stock shortages. The FIFO method is a method of inventory management that uses product stock in the warehouse based on the time of entry. By using this method, it is hoped that there will be no delays or stock vacancies in the warehouse due to irregularities in picking up spare parts in the warehouse. The aim of this research is to ascertain how the use of the FIFO method affects the warehouse's ability to manage spare parts inventory efficiently. Field research is this type of research. This research uses a qualitative data analysis methodology and inductive reasoning, which starts with precise and real facts before drawing conclusions from them. The research results provide significant benefits in increasing operational efficiency and reducing the possibility of excess or shortage of stock, which can disrupt production and delivery processes. Efficient receiving also helps in maintaining spare parts quality, ensuring that only items that meet quality standards are received and stored. Application of the FIFO method in the spare parts warehouse at PT. Heinz ABC Indonesia also has a positive impact on inventory recording and reporting. With a more regular flow of goods in and out, the recording system becomes more accurate and easier to track. This makes it easier for the accounting and management team to carry out audits and identify potential problems.

Factors Affecting Borehole Water Project Sustainability in Dodoma, Tanzania: A case of Nghong'onha ward

Access to a clean, safe, and affordable water supply for domestic use is a fundamental human right. However, in many urban areas in sub-Saharan African countries, including Tanzania, not all people have access to water due to the operation, maintenance, and sustainability challenges of the built infrastructure. This study assessed factors affecting the sustainability of the Borehole water project in Dodoma Region, taking a case of Nghong'onha ward in the City Council of Dodoma. Specifically, the study focused on household water use practices and examined the factors affecting the sustainability of borehole water projects. The study used both primary and secondary data of a quantitative and qualitative nature collected through interviews, observations, and a documentary review. This study employed probability and non-probability sampling techniques to select a sample of respondents and key informants. The collected data were analysed for descriptive statistics such as frequencies and means and binary logistic regression analysis, whereas qualitative data were analysed using the qualitative content analysis technique. The study found that, on average, households consumed 82.27 litres of water daily, and 47.5% of respondents had to wait for 31–45 minutes to fetch water at the water point. Furthermore, findings revealed that community meetings (0.000), distance to water points (0.000), water facility spare parts availability (0.054), payment modality (0.023), and annual maintenance (0.011) significantly affected borehole water project sustainability. The study recommends that interventions to improve access to domestic water supply in the study area should focus on improving water supply infrastructure and the built infrastructure's operation, maintenance, and sustainability.

Spare parts warehouse re-layout design with kaizen 5S implementation to reduce wasted time searching for machine parts

Increasing the productivity and efficiency of production machines cannot be separated from the availability of machine spare parts in the warehouse department. Delays in the delivery of spare parts if machine problems occur often become a problem that disrupts efficiency. This delay was caused by the search for engine spare parts in the warehouse taking too long to find. The long search time was caused by the irregular placement of the materials and the messy condition of the warehouse. This research aims to make improvements to the goods search process to make it faster and more effective in the warehouse area and increase warehouse capacity using warehouse re-layout. This research method uses the implementation of warehouse re-layouts combined with the application of Kaizen 5S in controlling the condition of machine spare parts. This research found that the reason for the long search time for machine spare parts was due to the lack of knowledge of warehouse operators and the absence of training regarding the application of the 5S method, as well as the careless placement of spare parts in warehouses that were not neatly arranged. This research has resulted in a reduction in search time for engine spare parts from 6.4 minutes to 4 minutes per spare part unit or a decrease of 36.5%. Meanwhile, the results of the warehouse re-layout resulted in an increase in warehouse capacity from 80 pallets to 316 pallets, an increase of 395%.

Perencanaan Perawatan Mesin Building Dengan Metode Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)

PT. Bridgestone Tire Indonesia is a tire manufacturing company. Machines that work continuously and lack of stock availability of machine spare parts cause damage and increase maintenance costs. To reduce the occurrence of damage and increase maintenance costs, it is necessary to have an optimal maintenance policy so that the machine can operate well. To overcome the problems in this research using the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) method, the first step is determining the critical components on the machine, preparing the FMEA table based on the function data of the components and maintenance reports and calculating the Risk Priority Number (RPN), then calculating the MTTF and MTTR to determine maintenance and repair intervals and find optimal total maintenance costs. Machine building has the highest frequency of downtime so this research will focus on machine building components. The results of data processing show that the highest frequency of machine damage and total downtime is the cause of hose component failure due to poor hose quality and seal components becoming worn, causing increased frequency of damage, downtime and maintenance costs. Based on maintenance cost calculations using the RCM method, hose and seal components experienced a decrease in costs, namely hose components by 55.13% and seal components by 25.45%. The proposed building machine maintenance for hose and seal components in particular is to carry out scheduled tasks, scheduled exhaust tasks, and default actions with the task category of finding failures and results for maintenance time intervals for hose components of 280.81 hours and for seal components of 134.08 hours.

Service accessibility strategy for aircraft maintenance routing with interorganizational collaborations on outsourcing maintenance

Airline companies are increasingly outsourcing their fleets’ heavy maintenance to independent maintenance service providers. This paper investigates the aircraft maintenance routing problem (AMRP) under the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) outsourcing mode. Considering interorganizational maintenance implementation, an airline company’s accessibility to maintenance service is affected by the varying maintenance capabilities of the maintenance service provider, which depends on heterogenous maintenance resource availability (e.g., the accommodation capacity of maintenance hangars and the availability of maintenance technicians and aviation spare parts). To enhance the airline’s service accessibility to maintenance service, we propose an efficient maintenance planning strategy with a collaborative mechanism based on service information sharing and service capability evaluation from the airline’s perspective. Afterward, a time-complexity reduction approach is presented to enhance the discrete-time-stamp-indexed mathematical model formulation. The efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed approach were evaluated through various problem scenarios, based on the operational data from a regional airline. Managerial implications regarding maintenance strategy and the accuracy of maintenance capability evaluation are also discussed.

Last Time Buys during Product Rollovers: Manufacturer & Supplier Equilibria

Durable goods customers expect long-term availability of spare parts to maintain their product. This puts a strain on supply chains. Part suppliers want to obsolete older generations of parts with declining demand and reassign resources to new, growing generations. Meanwhile, durable goods manufacturers that purchase and sell spare parts to customers want suppliers to keep producing old parts. When suppliers offer a “last time buy” opportunity for legacy parts in anticipation of their retirement, manufacturers push back. We study the strategic interaction and equilibria of a supplier and a manufacturer during the rollover between a legacy part and its successor in a durable good supply chain. Evidence from our interviews shows that manufacturers attempt to use the future business of the new part to delay a supplier’s last time buy of the old part. However, this tactic is often ineffective in practice. We propose a two-stage noncooperative game that reproduces the behaviors observed in interviews. Our analysis of this game distills the conditions under which a manufacturer can leverage the future business to delay a last time buy. There exist only six strategies that achieve this delay. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for these six strategies to be subgame perfect Nash equilibria. The condition reduces to a closed-form threshold on the new part volume. We conclude with practical insights that can guide managers during a rollover discussion.

Analisis Keandalan Main Battery Peshawar CRJ-1000 Di Maskapai Garuda Indonesia

The main battery on the CRJ-1000 aircraft is an important component in the aircraft's electrical system. The main battery functions as the main source of electric power when the aircraft is turned off or when the aircraft engine is not operating. If there is a failure in the aircraft's battery it can cause disruption to other systems so that the aircraft cannot fly or Aircraft on Ground (AOG). In Garuda Indonesia's CRJ-1000 aircraft battery, there were several findings where the battery failed before reaching the scheduled removal time. This study aims to analyze the reliability of the CRJ-1000 main battery on the Garuda Indonesia airline. The analytical method is carried out by collecting historical data on main battery failures and calculating the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) and Availability values for a certain period. In addition, an analysis was also carried out on maintenance procedures and replacement of the main battery carried out by Garuda Indonesia airline technicians. The results of the analysis show that the MTBF of the CRJ-1000 main battery on Garuda Indonesia airlines has a fairly good value, but there is a need for improvement in maintenance procedures and replacement of the main battery to increase availability. The recommendations proposed are evaluating the main battery maintenance and replacement procedures, as well as increasing the availability of main battery spare parts which can speed up repair times in failure situations.

Tackling the radiotherapy (RT) shortage in Sub-Saharan Africa by gathering and using data from LMICs and HICs facilities for designing a future robust RT facility

Purpose Historically, highly sophisticated medical linear accelerators (linacs) produced for high- (HIC) and upper-middle-income country (MIC) markets frequently experience significant additional operational failures in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs). This study focuses on LMICs in Africa where there is a substantial equipment shortfall, projected to be a gap by 2040 of about 5000 linacs. The purpose of this study was to gain an insight into the poor performance of linac components, the unreliable infrastructure often encountered in LMICs and the consequent linac-related treatment downtime. Methods and Materials A questionnaire was sent to at least one cancer center in each of the 28 African countries that had experience treating cancer patients with linacs at the time of the survey (4 more countries have acquired linacs) since we completed this survey. For comparison questionnaires were sent to selected facilities in four high-income countries (Canada, Switzerland, UK, US) and to Jordan, a middle-income country. To investigate factors influencing linac downtime, we first utilised flow diagrams to illustrate the dependence of linac subsystem performance on infrastructural/environmental factors, the availability of spare parts and local repair capability. Secondly, a univariate analysis correlated linac downtime with factors such as method of linac fault diagnosis and staffing. Finally, a multivariate analysis investigated the relationship between GDP per capita and cancer mortality to incidence ratio statistics and compared these with the surveyed linac downtime across low-, middle- and high- income countries. Results Responses to the survey confirmed significant multi-factorial issues that influence the extent of linac downtime especially the performance of multi-leaf collimators, electron guns, vacuum systems, RF power and software. Other challenges include electrical power instability, inadequate national funding (GDP/capita), and workforce capability as well as a significant shortfall in formal education and training programmes for the radiation therapy (RT) workforce. Conclusion This survey identified numerous modes of radiotherapy (RT) equipment failure causing treatment downtime in LMICs that can be overcome by improvements in the design of RT technology but they need to be accompanied by increased RT staff training, improved broadband access and increased annual national funding for RT. The collaborative network of linac-based RT facilities in 28 1 * African countries that was developed to conduct this study is available for further investigations as RT capacity and capability improve in Africa.

Assessing the potential for additive manufacturable spare parts in the railway industry by a data-driven framework

Due to the long-life span of railway vehicles, spare part availability is a major challenge for railway companies. To avoid downtime, high procurement costs, and shortages, railway companies often stock large and costly inventories. However, additive manufacturing (AM) makes it possible to cost-effectively produce spare parts in small quantities to reduce inventory. To assess the suitability of a spare part and choose the optimal supply strategy, economic and technical data must be available in good quality. The lack of centralised information and poor data quality is one of the biggest challenges for AM potential assessment.A workflow was designed, in which system data from various databases was mapped and enhanced with technical information. In addition, the potential for additive manufacturability was evaluated based on costs and savings affected by transportation, design, manufacturing, storage compared to other supply strategies. The resulting database was then used to classify the spare parts based on specific characteristics. The defined classes provide information about the timeline for implementing the part and the type of application. A similarity check based on identified AM spare parts is used to search the entire database to identify additional potential AM parts. The result is a data-driven framework to conduct a holistic potential assessment for additive manufacturable spare parts.

The Manufacturing Processes of Airbus A320 Landing Gear Bhushings Using Reverse Engineering Methods

The aviation sector is currently enjoying fast growth, as seen by the manufacture of 8,650 Airbus A320 aircraft. One critical component is the landing gear bushing (P/N 201160616), which provides safety and performance during takeoff and landing. PT. GMF AeroAsiaTbk is having difficulty obtaining these bushings due to low stock, configuration changes, and delivery delays. To address this, PT. GMF AeroAsiaTbk, through PMA Holder GMF Aero Asia, intends to produce bushings independently under the Parts Manufacturing Approval procedure outlined in CASR Part 21 Sub-Part K, with DGCA monitoring. Reverse engineering approaches are utilized to overcome technical information restrictions, allowing high-quality bushings to be produced. The research goals are to collect dimensional and material data, develop optimal production methods, and understand the electroplating process on bushings. The reverse engineering procedure entails taking measurements with a vernier calliper and a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) as well as reviewing the Component Maintenance Manual. Preparation, fabrication, inspection, packing, and marking are all part of the production process. Bright cadmium electroplating is used to prevent corrosion and enhance appearance. The findings are expected to improve production efficiency, decrease downtime, and ensure the availability of dependable spare parts.

Management of spare parts for efficient maintenance: a case study in the dairy sector

The recent increase in automation in production systems increased the relevance of maintenance management and spare parts availability to improve productivity while reducing the downtimes of the equipment. Despite the large number of studies on the topic, there is still a lack of practical applications in the industrial environment which can underline real practical needs and not only theoretical ones. The objective of this study is to improve the management of the spare parts warehouse of a company in the dairy sector to support maintenance management, defining optimal reorder quantities and/or safety stocks to minimize warehouse costs and increase component availability, especially of those items considered most critical. The practical work concerned the coding and classification of the spare parts, the demand forecasting, the definition of the most appropriate inventory policy for each spare part, and finally the testing and validation of the proposed policies.

Service and inventory model for maintenance workshop in the short cycle operation region: Agent-based simulation approach

Tools used in the North Sea region has a high cycle and come very often to maintenance workshop to be checked, repaired if needed and prepared for the next operations. The availability of spare parts at the workshop plays a significant role to keep the flow time as short as possible and meet such high-cycle operations. Supplying spare parts from the best-cost countries to the North Sea region with about one-year lead time makes the situation more critical and the economic order quantity and reorder point need to be found. However, having inventory at the workshop and ordering a batch of spare parts increases operational expenditures. Moreover, frequent supplies increase the environmental impacts of shipping CO2 and spare scrap rates, whereas repairing the used spare parts and reusing them again can offer a more sustainable solution. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop a simulation model that can quantify the cost and benefits of reusing repaired spares compared to supplying newly built spares from the best-cost countries. To achieve this purpose, a case study has been implemented on a specific maintenance workshop within the North Sea region and the entire tool repair and spare part supply operations are conceptualized and modelled with the help of the simulation modelling approach. Two scenarios have been simulated: (1) the maintenance workshop fully depends on supplying newly built spares from the best-cost countries with no inventory stock or spare reuse, and (2) the Maintenance workshop is primarily dependent on repaired spares with an optimal level of spares stock. The simulation results, from the studied case, support the second scenario where a repair path cycle is introduced to the maintenance workshop, as a 78% reduction in lead times, a 116% improvement in worker utilization, a 73% reduction in crowding levels, a 52% reduction in scrap rate, and a potential profit increase of roughly three million NOK (20%). Therefore, it can be concluded that a local repair service is required to keep maintenance workshops in high-cycle regions at high-performance levels.

Children's Anaesthesia and perioperative care challenges, and innovations

The 2015 Sustainable Development Goals emphasise good health to all with reduced inequalities, and surgical and anaesthesia care is essential to achieve these. https://sdgs.un.org/goals. However, it has been estimated that 1.7 billion children do not have access to safe anaesthesia and surgery when needed and this disproportionately affects children in low- and middle-income countries (1). It is alarming that 1 in 10 individuals in LMICs do not have access to safe surgical care. Both safe surgery and anaesthesia are essential for ensuring that individuals receive proper medical attention. Economically viable public health initiatives that can avert many disability-adjusted years are needed. (2–4)Morbidity and mortality from surgical disease and anaesthesia care remain high in low-income countries, unlike in high-income countries. The incidence of severe anaesthesia-related critical events and perioperative cardiac arrest is between three and ten times more in LMICs than in HICs (5–7) A baseline POMR that is 100 times higher in LMICs compared to HICs is reported. (8) This perioperative morbidity and mortality gap is more evident in neonates and younger age groups, especially in children with congenital abnormalities. The challenges facing providers of anaesthesia and perioperative care are multifactorial and include but are not limited to the inadequate workforce, inadequate and inappropriate infrastructure, lack of adequate and appropriately sized equipment, including monitors, and safe monitoring capacity, supply chain challenges for medicines and reusable consumables, unreliable supply of oxygen and blood products, lack of data and research for policy formulation, inadequate resource allocation from governments and lack of safety culture among other things. In paediatrics, this is further multiplied by the variability in the sizes of the patients, from neonates to older children (9).1.Improved perioperative care must include anaesthesia and nursing to improve perioperative outcomes for children.2.Perioperative care for children in LMICs is predominantly by non-physician anaesthesia providers or non-specialty-trained anaesthesiologists.3.There is a need to train physician anaesthesia leaders to direct and oversee the care of children undergoing anaesthesia4.Infrastructure and equipment for the safe provision of paediatric anaesthesia/perioperative care are usually wanting/often times inadequate and inappropriate.5.The GICS OReCS document provides a valuable guide for the bare minimum requirements for the provision of safe paediatric anaesthetic and surgical care services, starting at the district hospital.6.Equipment donations should be conscientious, in consultation with local leads. Considerations will include biomedical support for maintenance, availability of spare parts, and electrical compatibility, among others.7.Context-specific innovations have been shown to work in LMICs and include paediatric anaesthesia courses for all providers and simulation-based training using low technology.8.Any worthwhile programs aimed at improving anaesthetic and surgical care for children need to ultimately fit into national healthcare systems.

A proposed set of indicators for evaluating the performance of the operation and maintenance of photovoltaic plants

As photovoltaic plants (PV) age, the need for efficient monitoring of operations & maintenance (O&M) increases, helping to understand the situation of the plant, identify problems and propose solutions for future strategies. In this context, the objective of this paper is to propose a set of key performance indicators (KPIs), responsable to evaluate O&M performance in PV power plants, considering their importance and complexity mensuration levels. After refining and validating a set of KPIs using Delphi method with industry specialists, the KPIs are classified by energy performance assessment and O&M services assessment. Subsequently, the levels of importance and complexity of measurement are evaluated with stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) method. Finally, after obtaining this information, an importance-complexity matrix is developed, thus contemplating the proposed set of KPIs. This study presents a comprehensive set of 25 KPIs capable of quantitatively measuring the O&M performance of a PV plant. The results show that the KPIs, Performance Ratio and Spare Parts Availability are the most important in this evaluation, and KPI Contractual Availability presents greater complexity in measuring its parameters. Based on the importance-complexity matrix, it is possible to verify that the KPI, Schedule Compliance stands out compared to the others, presenting a high level of importance and a low level of complexity in its measurement. The information resulting from this study seeks to help PV plant managers to select the appropriate KPIs to measure the status of the O&M management of the PV plant.
