| Summary: | Successful modern manufacturing organizations require support from both effective
and efficient maintenance works. One of the approaches for improving the
performance of both production and maintenance is by developing and
implementing a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) strategy. The main objectives
for this study is to develop a production planning and control (PPC) software in a
TPM environment for a manufacturing company and improve the overall
production planning and control system from manual recording to computer aided
recording which includes some planning features such as Master Production
Scheduling (MPS), monthly capacity planning, operation scheduling and other
requirements.
A TPM based software program has been developed to ease the process of
production planning and control in TPM environment by executing sequential
methodology such as problem identification, literature review, problem formulation, data coliection, company operation review, flow chart system and
program algorithm before test run in the company. This program has been created
in Window format and encoded using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. This software
was tailored design based on the present operation at Earntrade Industries which
practise Earliest Due Date (EDD) and Short Processing Time (SPT) performance
measures.
This software has been evaluated at Earntrade Industries for a period of two months
to test the overall performance of the application software relevant to the project
goal. The system which change from manual to computer aided recording manage
to decrease the handling time from manual to computer aided recording by 89.22 %
and avoid 100% unwanted human error. |
