Abstract

This research studies and improves the efficiency of the cooking stove production process to reduce waste. A study of the production workflow reveals that the honeycomb-making step involves non-value-added activities, resulting in delays due to waiting, transportation, and over motion, respectively. For these issues, The ECRS principle select to eliminate non-necessary; design and manufacture for the steps. The honeycomb punching mold is the assistance device by design and construction engineering. In this step combines a compress plate molding and punching steps. After the improvements, the honeycomb-making activities reduces from 14 to 11 and the work time decreases from 6,100.75 minutes per piece to 4,657.35 minutes per piece (23.66% of work efficiency). Additionally, the cycle time of the cooking stove production process reduces from 6,102.45 minutes per unit to 4,662.45 minutes per unit.
