Manufacturing optimization using Tsukamoto fuzzy inference system method: A case study in block paving and solid concrete block industry

Abstract

Fuzzy method has advantages in solving real-world problems that are mostly non-binary and non-linear, such as calculating the optimization of production quantities. A case study for the application of this method was applied in UD. Setia Kawan Company that run the production of solid concrete and block paving. The problems faced by this company is the high demand for products resulting in short stock and sometimes over stock due to unstable customer ordering and inaccurate management in production planning. From the calculations, the number of solid concrete block produced by the company on the period of October 2016, December 2016 and February 2017 was not optimal. According to Tsukamoto’s FIS, the optimal number of solid concrete block in the third period is 9973, 9562 and 12.087 unit of solid concrete block. While the number of block paving produced by the company on the period of November 2016, December 2016 and January 2017 was also not optimal. According to Tsukamoto’s FIS analysis, the optimal number of block paving in the third period should be 9.116, 10.113 and 7.120 unit of block paving
