Design of Ram Net Modification to Reduce Process Time in the Use of Hair Dryer Machine in PT ABC

Abstract

PT ABC is one of the companies engaged in services, especially garment washing and coloring services. One of the machines used in the production process in garment coloring services is a hair dryer machine. This hair dryer machine is part of a drying machine, where this machine is used by many operators from various departments so that it often experiences bottlenecks. Congestion or queues that occur apart from the operator queue, there is also a queue of drying objects. This is because the drying process using a hair dryer machine is done using 2 hands, while 1 operator can carry 2 to 6 drying objects. The high drying frequency not only causes bottlenecks, but also often causes the hair dryer to overheat. Overheat that occurs starts from weak blowing, heat that is not maximized, until the machine suddenly shuts down. To overcome this problem, a solution is sought, both in the design of tools and additional drying methods. Various existing solutions will be selected using the PUGH method to get the best solution. The selected solution will be tested for feasibility using the investment feasibility test to determine whether the selected solution is feasible to be realized.
