Description
Summary:Inventory becomes one of important aspects to identify whether a company has fulfilled the consumers’ demands or not. Shortage of stock, finished goods particularly could emerge the failure of accomplishing the target of consumers’ demand that could also lead to loss of sales. Therefore, it needs good inventory control. This paper is objected improve SME’s productivity by using the approach of discrete system simulation of aluminum industry that rapidly developed in Yogyakarta. Simulation is one of the appropriate tools for experiments that purposed to identify best response from system components. Based from Observation from line production, there are semi-finished products were not finished. Other than that the firm has no clue to solve the problem. Design of experiment and scenario are developed in a model that was built to obtain solution in enhancing the performance and productivity. As the result of initial performance that is not optimal, rescheduling on transporter schedule and the replenishment of machines and operators on the lathing process could be performed as improvements to enhance the productivity. This experiment can be used as the solution in improving the product’s output as 64.36%.
