IMPLEMENTATION OF SINGLE MINUTE EXCHANGE OF DIES (SMED) AND 5S IN GENERAL PHARMACY SOLID

Abstract

PT. MNO is a pharmaceutical company in Indonesia, operating since 1976. On its way, PT. MNO face a various problems and one of them is about the lead time in General Pharmacy Solid (GPS). They want to reduce the lead time and their focus is on the changeover time that takes 3 - 5 hours. SMED takes place in General Pharmacy Solid area. There are 3 machines that become the priority which are Machine press, Machine stripping 1, and Machine stripping 2. The strategy to implement SMED can be implement by using analysis sheet, spaghetti diagram, and action plan. Analysis sheet focus on the operator’s activities, spaghetti diagram focus on the operator’s movements, action plan focus on the improvement and standard work procedure focus on new standard work for two operators. 5S can be implement with support from layout design. The benefit of SMED and 5S implementation is different in every machine. Machine press changeover activities are down from 58 to 26 with 42.78% total activities removed and operator movements down from 24 to 4. Machine stripping 1 changeover activities are down from 63 to 31 with 44.05% total activities removed and operator movements down from 16 to 8. Machine stripping 2 changeover activities are down from 38 to 24 with 29.18% total activities removed and operator movements down from 16 to 8. 5S implementation makes the production room more organized and facilitate operator work.
