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.
