Process Improvement: A Case Study to Reduce Operational Inaccuracies of Tin Can and Metal Sheet Fabrication Company Using ProModel Simulation

Efficient production and manufacturing are vital global industries with far-reaching impacts. Reducing operational errors and waste is crucial in sustaining profits. Process improvement is pivotal across sectors by ensuring consistent results, heightened efficiency, and standardized procedures. This study assesses company productivity, identifies operational flaws, and proposes remedies for enhanced production efficiency. Employing diverse tools and methodologies, our investigation achieves these goals. Results showcase a remarkable 21.42% increase in work efficiency through Observation, Time and Motion Study, ProModel Simulation, and Stopwatch Time Study. This surpasses the targeted 15%-20% enhancement for 2-PC tin can production. The proposed model can potentially reduce manufacturing time from 45.89 to 36.05 minutes. The study highlights operational inconsistencies within workforces of even well-established manufacturers, contributing to rectifying overlooked degrees in larger corporations. Utilizing promodel software, daily production escalates from 25 to 35 pilings, reflecting a significant 40% increase in output. This paper proposed manufacturing improvement and the importance of scrutinize fundamental components to uncover underlying issues.
