Abstract:
This thesis is research and development to improving efficiency of the steel furniture assembly line. This study is focus in reduction loss time for various activity of the steel furniture assembly line. This study has improved the step assembly. Reduced the loss time for preparation of the new work station. Reduced the quality problem of parts form Nickel Chromium plating and painting process and Reduced the mistake of assembly from employee. By study steps assembly, activity need for preparation of the new work station. These improvements use industrial engineering techniques such as motion and time study, quality control procedure and protection mistake (POKA YOKE) to improving efficiency of the steel furniture assembly line. Last, comparing the result by production output per man-hour. The result of the improvement are that the quantity of man-hour per unit are reduced by 22.6% in improved the step assembly, the preparation of the products change are reduced by 33.3%, the production output per man-hour from 3.64 unit per man-hour to 4.17 unit per man-hour or the production output was increased 14.6%.
