The approach involves using a fishbone diagram to analyze the root causes of the problem, Pareto charts to prioritize the issues, ECRS principles, and factorial experimental design for process improvement. Through data collection and analysis, it was found that the most significant defects were attributed to ‘yarn breaks’ and ‘pack changes’. After using the Fishbone Diagram and brainstorming, it was discovered that the main causes of yarn breaks were related to blockages in the Exhaust Monomer tube, Godet Roller, and Yarn Path. This issue was addressed by refining work instructions, creating inspection sheets, and scheduling regular checks on the Godet Roller. The main reasons for pack changes were found to be the lack of work instructions and the incorrect assembly of the polymer filter following standards. This issue was addressed by reducing the duration of work processes, implementing work instructions, and using Factorial experimental design setups to determine the optimal interval for pack changes. As a result of these improvements, the defect percentage decreased from 6.51% to 5.84%, resulting in an annual cost reduction of 199,800 baht and the potential extension of the improvement methods to other departments.</p> Suphattra Sriyanalugsana Pannaphat Punnaphasasiphas Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-06-30 2024-06-30 10 1 1 11 Effect of Face Milling Parameters on Surface Roughness of ADC 12 Aluminum Alloy Using 3 Levels Full-Factorial Design https://ph02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ienj/article/view/250690 <p>The purpose of this study aims to determine the influence of machining parameters which were consisted of three parameters; feed per tooth, cutting speed and depth of cut on surface roughness in CNC face milling process of ADC 12 aluminum alloy. The settings of machining parameters were conducted through 3 levels full-factorial design with 2 replicates. In addition, CNC machining center and carbide insert were fitted together with milling cutter which 63 millimeters of diameter, under wet cutting condition. The surface roughness of end-milled face was measured by the surface roughness tester. It was found that the most influence main factor was feed per tooth, followed by cutting speed. It was also found that interaction between cutting speed and feed per tooth, cutting speed and depth of cut as well as feed per tooth and depth of cut also impact the surface roughness. In contrast, Depth of cut was not affected on surface roughness at significant level of 0.05. Moreover, the minimum of surface roughness value was obtained with 800 m/min of cutting speed, 0.05 mm/tooth of feed rate and 0.6 mm of depth of cut which result 0.142 of Ra.</p> Ukrit Thanasuptawee Chayan Khambunlue Kitti Wirotrattanaphaphisan Manoch Numfu Tawachai Chailungkarn Priyanuch Mekchay Kodcharawit Lamkam Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-06-30 2024-06-30 10 1 12 19 Improving the Production Process of Line Gen for Furniture Production https://ph02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ienj/article/view/253172 <p>Furniture is an important part of home and condo decoration. The case study factory is a furniture factory where the Line Gen production process is responsible for producing sample furniture as well as managing various repairs and work that is returned for repairs. The production process focuses on the speed of production. Currently, there are problems with returns and rejected work in the production process of Line Gen. There were errors in determining delivery dates and preparing raw materials for production, including the lack of clear coordination among each relevant department, resulting in production work exceeding the delivery deadline. There were thus delays in the production of furniture. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, this research has prepared a standard work manual (Work Instructions: WI) and a production sequence plan checklist, including capacity analysis. The results show that before the improvement, 80 returned jobs were generated, of which 38 exceeded the transfer date of 47.5%, and the number of days beyond the average transfer period was 2.42 days. After the improvement, 68 jobs were returned, 17 of which exceeded the transfer deadline (25%), and the days beyond the transfer deadline decreased on average to 1.47 days. In the case of rejecting jobs before improvement, there was a total of 96 jobs, 77 of which were beyond the transfer date of 80.2%, and the number of days beyond the average transfer period was 4.56 days. After improvements, there were 98 rejected jobs, with 49 jobs exceeding 50% of the transfer date, and we were able to reduce the average transfer overdue days to 2.24 days.</p> Suphattra Sriyanalugsana Kitikul Punsri Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-06-30 2024-06-30 10 1 20 32 Schedule an Ambulance to Transport Plague Patients to the Quarantine Hospital Using Multiple 0–1 Knapsack Problem https://ph02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ienj/article/view/246048 <p>The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease Corona 2019 (COVID-19) has been in Wuhan, China since November 2019 and has spread to more than 160 countries around the world. As a result, the need to call for ambulances has increased from the incident. Found that there are many patients who do not have an ambulance to pick them up after finding themselves with symptoms similar to the new coronavirus disease Corona 2019 (COVID-19). It should find ways to improve the ambulance system to be able to respond to future epidemic incidents. Therefore, this study proposes the scheduling of epidemic patient transfers to quarantine hospitals for handling potential future epidemics using multiple 0–1 knapsack problem in scheduling simulations. An ambulance to transport the patient to the hospital for quarantine. By scheduling an ambulance, the goal is to maximize the effectiveness of prioritizing patients in relation to their health status.</p> Latthidech Srimuen Klongkwan Boonku Suriyapong Nilsang Ranon Jientrakul Chumpol Yuangyai Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-06-30 2024-06-30 10 1 33 38 Process Improvement for Combining Production Lines with Work Study and Line Balancing Techniques: A Case Study of Stereo Manufacturer https://ph02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ienj/article/view/250995 <p>An objective of this research is to study and improve the production process to reduce the usage of production area by combining production lines. A case study factory was a stereo manufacturer which needed the area for a new production line. A methodology started from studying and analyzing each production process, then choosing the production line to be removed and finally improving the production line to receive products from the removed production line. Main concepts for analysis and improvement consisted of work study, capability analysis and line balancing. The selected production lines to be combined considered from capacity utilization rate and limitations of the equipment and machine. An improvement of the production line to receive products from the removed production line was to sequence tasks to stations by considering line balancing, cycle time and production conditions. After reducing the line and improving the process, the factory had an additional area as expected and could move the product to produce in another line without any problems. In addition, reducing the production line and moving products to be produced in another line also increased capacity utilization rate from 32 % to 55%.</p> Poom Luangjamekorn Siravit Swangnop Todsaporn Kulngamnet Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-06-30 2024-06-30 10 1 39 50 The Improving Productivity in Seasonal Product Manufacturing by Motion and Time Study and Jig Design https://ph02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ienj/article/view/249249 <p>Increasing productivity is key to fulfilling customer requirements and remaining competitive in today's fast-paced business world.
