Keseimbangan Lintasan Produksi dengan Metode Kilbridge-Wester (Region Approach) dan Pendekatan Ergonomi

Abstract

Line balancing is the process of balancing the production line on the work risk allocated to each work station. The bottleneck at the work station results in a low production line balance. Efforts to overcome bottlenecks are increasing bottleneck capacity, changing work routes, changing lot sizes, changing work orders, or having free time at other stations. The purpose of track balance is to find out the causes that result in an unbalanced work station. Improvement of the production line using the region approach method and job rotation. Job rotation is carried out by calculating the operator's work risk using the RULA, REBA, and QEC methods. The results for the regional approach method for a balance delay of 41.25%, a track efficiency of 58.75%, and a smoothes index of 20.720,323. The results obtained after the job rotation was carried out on a balance delay of 38,20%, an efficiency of 61,80%, and a smoothness index of 16.954. That is, the higher the presentation value, the better the production trajectory.
