Analisis Keseimbangan Lintasan Produksi Pakan Ternak Dengan Metode Moodie Young Pada PT.Gold Coin Indonesia-Medan Mill

Abstract

PT. Gold Coin Indonesia-Medan Mill is a company engaged in animal feed production which produces about 500,000 tons per year. The existing process on the production floor is still non optimal since there is an imbalance in the production process which causes a long time in finishing work. So it is needed a line balancing in order that the production process can be performed optimally and efficiently. The Moodie Young method was used in this study because it is one of the lines balancing method which able to solve the problem in the line balancing and the result obtained is near to efficient. The aims of this study are to determine the balancing of the work station and to determine the line efficiency, balance delay, and smoothness index. The result revealed that there was a merging of work station, from 9 to 6 work stations so the idle time in each station is more minimum. Furthermore, the results of actual line balancing are namely: balance delay of 48.81%, line efficiency of 51.04%, and smoothness index of 2704.75. Whereas the results using the Moodie Young method are balance delay of 23.22%, line efficiency of 76.77%, and smoothness index of 476.83 so it can produce a production capacity of 537,600 tons per year. Thus, line balancing using the Moodie Young method has a better balancing level because it has a higher line efficiency also lower balance delay value and lower smoothness index from the actual data of the company.
