Automated Packaging Machine Analysis with The Overall Equipment Efficiency Method

This research aims to identify the initial OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency) values on automated packaging machines with a 2d barcode track and trace system. Quantitative research methods used to obtain the OEE value, analysis of factors affecting the OEE values, developing a strategy to make improvements, and evaluate these strategies on the level of machine productivity. The results showed that the OEE value of the automatic packing machine with 2d barcode track and trace system was 30.49%. The value is still far below the company’s standard of 85%. Availability (av) and the rate of quality (rq) are quite high. However, the performance rate (pe) is still low until the OEE value is low. Based on six big loss analysis, the biggest loss that leads to low OEE value is decreasing speed. Machine is operated at speeds that do not match design (ideal); usually, the real speed is lower than the ideal speed, that can be caused by small product batch sizes. Based on average OEE after a problem solving of 67.67 %. An increase in value gained by 37.18 % of previous achievements. To sum up, this study contributes to the development of best practices and strategies for optimizing machine productivity and improving overall equipment effectiveness in various manufacturing contexts.
