21. The Development of Simulation to Improve the Production Process Efficiency

In order to improve the production process at a company (in this case Diamond Jubilee Sime Darby Plantation Sdn. Bhd) as well as to overcome the problem in their production, simulation can be a solution for this company to deal with their problem related to production process and overcoming them. A simulation can be and is used to identify their problem in the production process. This study aims to develop simulation to mimic their production process and overcome the problem using the ProModel Simulation software. These simulations can assist and help the company to identify their production process and guide them to maximize their production and reduce cost while using this simulation. An interview and site visit was conducted in this research to observe and identify the problem more efficiency. The study has shown that developing a simulation has many benefits and helps in the production process. However, none have yet been developed a simulation to overcome the problem in production process at Diamond Jubilee Sime Darby Plantation Sdn. Bhd. in this research, the objectives are to identify the production process in this company to brainstorm solutions to manufacturing processes issues and to apply the ProModel Simulation software in the production process. The research area will be at Diamond Jubilee Sime Darby Plantation Sdn. Bhd. for the site visit to observe their production process and interview with their mill manager to identify their problem. Further studies have also been proposed for future research. To conclude, the problem of their production process may be able to be solved by simulation that can replicate the actual production without spending on real world using this study.
