Productivity Improvement in Production Process of Charcoal Stove Case study: Charcoal Stove Manufacturing in Kalasin

Abstract

The way of increase output without increasing input is a great challenge in productivity improvement. This research aims to study production process of charcoal stove manufacturing and serving guideline for productivity improvement. This research is specified in charcoal stove factory in Kalasin province. The tools which using in this study consists of, flow process chart, fish bone diagram, and flow diagram. To decrease the problems that occurred in production process, ECRS concept was used. The results of productivity improvement are operation time reduce from 1,367 seconds/unit to 1,278.4 seconds/unit, or achieves 88.6 seconds reduction, and production is increase from 19 unit/day to 20 unit/day, efficiency increased is 5 %
