Abstract

Cattle are the primary food commodities that increase in line with the increase in population. Of course, animal feed and other supporting foods must also support the high demand for cattle. MineFeeds answers the need for supporting food with its superior product, Growth Promoting Supplement (GPS). Based on initial observations, the production activities at MineFeeds are carried out with 20 blocks per batch. Where the mixing workstation only operates at 55% of full capacity, when the Mixing workstation works at its 100% capacity, it could reach 35 blocks per operation. The bottlenecks occurred due to the molding stage's long cycle time with a workload of 150%. Therefore, this research was conducted to redesign the molding machine that meets the optimal capacity. In completing this research, a rational method approach is used, where there are seven steps in completing the method. The steps start with identifying and defining the improved machine. Then clarify design objectives and sub-objectives with the relationship between objectives, establish the function and limitations of the machine's new design, determine accurate performance specifications and performance required of the machine design, then be conducted to set the machine's engineering characteristics target. The next step is to generate a complete range of alternative design solutions and compare the utility values of alternative designs on the performance against weighted objectives basis where the customer needs, and scoring is based on Quality Function Deployment (QFD). Based on the evaluation result, the machine increased molding machine productivity by 260% more than the current production. The daily production increased from 40 GPS Block per day with two batch production to 105 GPS Block per day with three batch production. Keywords: Machine redesign, Machine Capacity, Bottleneck, Rational Method, Quality Function Deployment.
