Abstract
One manufacturing and automobile distribution company, both domestically and internationally, is facing a quality-related issue. Specifically, the problem lies in the assembly of parts not meeting the specified variations. Because of the current manual assembly process, where employees memorize and select components, it leads to increased production costs. This project aims to reduce the risk of assembling components that deviate from specifications by implementing a kitting concept material supply system on the assembly line. The study includes designing the layout, determining the number of operators, selecting equipment for component transport, and defining routes for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). Practical implementation results show that changing the component delivery method eliminates the need for workers to memorize and manually select components, reducing the risk of errors. The study concludes that the kitting concept material supply system has the potential to minimize variations in assembled components, thus improving overall quality.
