1.2 Project Background
This  project  mainly  applies  the  simulation  software  Arena  to  simulate  the  assembly process  of  table  top  fan.  This  project  is  to  develop  an  assembly  processes  flow
simulation  model  to  identify  production  bottlenecks  and  determine  where  productivity improvements can be made. The problems and wastes in the assembly processes of table
top  fan  are  also  investigate.  The  simulation  is  performing  to  solve  the  productivity problem  which  is  always  occurred  in  the  production  floor.  Actually,  the  productivity
movement  has  been  started  around  for  50  years.  In  that  time,  a  number  of  techniques, methodologies  and  productivity  strategies  have  been  developed.  Most  organization
would like to find the recipe for the ultimate productivity improvement.  However with so  many  techniques  used  for  productivity  improvement  still  there  are  no  definite
techniques to be used. So, this project is focus on a productivity improvement on table top  fan  assembly  process.  This  project  will  be  focusing  on  studying  the  assembly
processes and present time study for table top fan assembly. Then, the simulation system will simulate the assembly processes and the lead time improvement can be done as well
as  increase  the  efficiency  and  productivity  in  assembly  the  table  top  fan  at  production floor.  The  productivity  of  assembly  processes  will  be  investigates  and  analyzes  the
performance of the processes so that can enhance work quality.
