| description | The project is about the study on the implementation of Group Technology in the
local manufacturing industry. Group Technology (GT) is a manufacturing philosophy
that states if many problems are similar and that, by grouping similar problems, a single
solution can be found to a set of problems, thus saving time and effort. GT concept
emphasizes in reducing the dimension of the situation to be controlled. Instead of being
functionally laid out, the factory is divided into smaller cells in such a way that each cell
is equipped with all the machines and equipment needed to complete a particular family
of components. In achieving the project objectives, mail survey was sent to 48 samples.
Out of the 48 companies only 8 replied. Only one company was chosen as the case study
for this research. The company involves in food processing and is located in Demak
Laut Industrial Park. Observation and interview was done during the visit to the
company to identify the possibility of implementing and integrating GT concept in terms
of manufacturing processes and plant layout. A new plant layout was designed to be
proposed to the company based on the observation done during the factory visit and
interview. Objectives of the research and the proposal are achieved. Recommendations
for the research are to expand the scope of the project to a wider area due to the
insufficient sampling group which is suitable in Kuching. Information gathering should
include follow-up calls being made to the sampling groups to speed up the reply process.
It is also advised to choose local companies as the sampling group. |
