Civil engineering (General) Current technological development has increased the competitiveness in the manufacturing system, especially for the electronic industry. This research is based on case company in the automatic testing and label printing processes of a multinational hard disk drive (HDD) manufacturing system with the objective of improving the tester utilization while achieving the production target. The problem is complex as the testers are employed to simultaneously load multiple product families. Each product family has several models with different testing durations. In addition, apart from the high product mixes for each product family undergoes different process flow making the problem more complicated. The company has difficulty to achieve the targeted tester utilization of 96%, as the current utilization is 71.14%. As the problem is too complicated to be solved by an analytical method, a hybrid simulation approach was employed to solve the operation machine allocation and the transfer batch size problem. Firstly, the problem of mixed-load tester was formulated through a mathematical model.
