Improving Production Capacity and Coefficient Efficiency of K-Contactor in the Backend Process: A Simulation Case Study

Abstract

This research was conducted in an electrical company that aims to increase production capacity due to a surge in demand. The demand is 8% year to year increasing, especially for K-Contactor products. The company also wants to improve the Coefficient Effi-ciency rate towards 80%; currently, it is between 65-75%. A simula-tion model was constructed using Pro-Model to imitate the current condition and to simulate the proposed solution. By arranging the layout of the machine, the target production is increased from 325 to 334 and the coefficient efficiency of K-contactors reaches 80%
