Development of production planning system for snack industry

Abstract

To develop the master production planning system to support the improvement of the planning process in order to be able to confirm the available-to-promise, help the product identification before planning and generate plan that consider each production process capacity. The research start with the study of current problem using cause and effect diagram in order to analyze the problems caused by production planning. The analysis result in the creating the new production planning system that can plan each product production schedule in relate to the available capacity required in the difference manufacturing processes. The new production system also develop a systematic product coding that can identify the specification product and restructure the bill of material before input in the new system in order to support group production planning. The result of the study from actual order and planning simulation for 5 days show that production capacity of the cutting machine increase for 8% from the new scheduling process which result to ability to produce more product for 900 kg per day.
