Abstract

In this paper, the application of the waste elimination technique in solving the waste of motion for manual assembly processes has been studied, analyzed, and implemented. The waste of motion is one of the seven wastes as highlighted in the lean manufacturing system (LMS), where it can happen at any time and workers are required to make movements that do not add any value to the overall production processes. A poor designed manual assembly processes can cause low productivity and inefficiency of the production system due to excessive motions. An excessive motion will cause the production bottleneck process and production delinquency, increase inventory, encourage waste of waiting, and unable to smoothing the production flow. In minimizing the waste of motion, the step-by-step of manual assembly processes needs to be studied and observed to ensure fully understanding of the process requirement. Then, each step of the manual assembly process needs to be analyzed to identify the waste of motion which is affecting the productivity and efficiency of the production systems. Once the waste of motion has been identified, the steps of manual assembly processes are required to be re-visited and re-designed to achieve optimum efficiency of the production process flow. Some of the unwanted processes might be eliminated or integrated to ensure minimum motions during the manual assembly process. This research has been conducted by analyzing the manual assembly processes in selected case study in industry and implementation the improvement process to solve the waste of motion. The result of this study shows that the process cycle time has been drastically improved by 60% and at the same time this improvement had increased the production output and solved the worker fatigue issue due to the overburden tasks. Through an effective analysis and implementation, the waste of motion for production process had been identified and successfully minimized.
