Abstract:
PT ABC is a firm that makes high-quality toys using a safe approach. Company has five
factories worldwide that compete each year to maintain performance in delivering good
products to clients through efficient operations. The better the performance, the more
likely the plant will be able to receive high-load goods and continue to operate,
particularly in Indonesia. A substantial safety risk occurs in the packout region, where
many procedures continue to rely significantly on physical labor. Recognizing the
inherent dangers and the opportunity for increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness, this
firm has adopted automation as a strategic solution. However, despite several automation
initiatives launched by the engineering department, many are still incomplete, impeding
the company's success. This ongoing backlog is caused by the constant intake of new
projects, making it impossible to deploy adequate resources and complete old efforts
within the necessary timeframe. The purpose of this study is to completely examine and
analyze the present procedure for executing automation projects at PT ABC. The inquiry
will include all critical stages, such as planning, execution, control, and closure, with an
emphasis on understanding the opinions and experiences of all relevant departments
participating in the research and development process. Using a qualitative research
technique, the study will collect in-depth insights through direct interviews with 12
informants, including internal and external stakeholders from various backgrounds. These
interviews will look into the human elements that influence project success, including
individual experiences, habits, and opinions. Preliminary findings indicate that product
complexity is a substantial hurdle for engineers during the automation project
implementation phase. The study will finish with practical consequences for company,
such as recommendations for strengthening automation project management practices.
Furthermore, the study will provide academic institutions with useful insights and
recommendations for further research in this area.
