ANALYZING STANDARDIZED WORKS OF NONCYCLICAL PROCESS WORKERS THROUGH KAIZEN IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

Every year worker’s salaries is increasing in every region in Indonesia. The increasing on Indonesia inflation rate causing the worker to demand salaries increase. In the other hands, the company must maintaining their manufacturing cost to minimum in order to attain profit. Companies need to find solution to maintaining their economic equity without ignoring the workers happiness. One of the problem, IJK Company currently facing is manpower efficiency in one of their warehouse. Warehouse is included in type III standardized works which is noncyclical process. The research is using standardized works for noncyclical process to collecting data of current process. The data is collected in form of yamazumi chart and noncyclic work summary sheet. The current average manpower efficiency of the warehouse is 71,43%. The data had been gathered will be used as decision making for kaizen. Kaizen will reduce non-value added activities in the warehouse process. Therefore, after kaizen manpower efficiency become 64,63%. Then, the processes will go through process balancing to equalize their working time. After process balancing one process is merged with other processes. Therefore, increasing average manpower efficiency again to 71,21% and reduce number of work force needed to run the entire warehouse processes.
