Reducing waste with the lean manufacturing approach to improve process cycle efficiency

Abstract

Abstract In general the main fodder raw materials used in the process is the corn imports. Fodder dependence toward imported raw materials cause increased production costs and ultimately have an impact on the price of animal feed. To maintain the stability of the production costs, industry fodder must be able to maintain and increase efficiency in the production process. The efficiency of the production process can be improved by manage waste. The purpose of this research is to minimize waste that occurs in livestock feed production process and to improve the process cycle efficiency in animal feed products. It can be done with a lean approach. Lean principles can be expressed as a process of continual improvement by eliminate the waste contained in the value stream.Tthe results shows there are activities that are categorized as value added activity, necessary non-value added, and non-value added. Each activity consists of 11 activities for value added activity, 12 events for the necessary non-value added activity, and 3 activities for non-value added activity.The overall total time of 2434.4 minutes though the actual efficiency of 85.4%. The proposed improvements are being made to eliminate non value added activity is to use five Rev. The charts and tables with results in the form of her 5W1H, 3 activity contains the non value added activity. Through these improvements, the retrieved value process cycle efficiency improvement of 87.49% and increased by 2.09%.
