ABSTRAK

Kertas ini membincangkan pembangunan suatu alat sokongan pembuat keputusan dalam mereka bentuk produk berasaskan teori baris-gilir yang dikaitkan dengan maklumat masa kitar pembuatan. Dengan penggunaan alat sokongan ini, kesan reka bentuk sesuatu produk terhadap parameter kapasiti dan masa kitar pembuatan sesuatu sistem pembuatan sedia ada dapat ditentukan. Aplikasi alat sokongan ini membolehkan kumpulan pembangunan produk membangunkan produk sebenar pada masa yang singkat, meminimumkan kos pembangunan serta mengurangkan keperluan untuk mereka bentuk semula produk. Alat sokongan ini telah diaplikasikan pada sebuah industri automotif tempatan dan hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa alat sokongan tersebut telah berjaya melakukan analisis masa kitar dan tahap penggunaan pada sistem pembuatan sedia ada. Pada jumlah keluaran 44 komponen/jam dan saiz sesekumpul 80, hasil analisis menunjukkan tahap penggunaan pada 98% dengan masa kitar 17.8 jam bagi pemprosesan gabungan produk yang terdiri daripada komponen dengan reka bentuk baru dan reka bentuk sedia ada.

Kata kunci: Kapasiti pengeluaran; masa kitar; teori baris gilir; reka bentuk produk; sistem pembuatan

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the development of a decision support tool based on the queuing theory which was linked to manufacturing cycle time information. With the use of this tool, the effects of product design to the capacity and manufacturing cycle time of an existing manufacturing system can be determined. The decision support tool enabled the product design team to develop products in a shorter lead time with reduced cost, while minimising redesign during the design development process. The tool has been applied to a local automotive industry and results from the study showed that the tool has been successful in analysing cycle time and utilisation of the existing manufacturing system. For a throughput of 44 parts/hour and batch size 80, results from the analysis show a utilisation rate of 98% and cycle time of 17.8 hours, for the production of mixed products that comprised parts with new and existing design.

Keywords: Production capacity; cycle time; queuing theory; product design; manufacturing system
