1.     INTRODUCTION

            Along with the rapid development of the world industry resulted in fierce competition, especially in the automotive industry, which requires the industry players do new innovations to produce products are targeted, high quality, and at competitive prices. these demands causing the industry to think hard to try to make it happen.

            Various methods are used ranging from good customer service and fast response, delivery time is right, optimization of product functionality, maintain the performance/condition of the engine, until the adoption of new technologies. PT. Yamaha Motor Parts Manufacturing Indonesia as a company engaged in the automotive industry, one of which produces Casting Wheel, the wheels are used on motorcycles. 

            The process of making the casting wheel at PT. YPMI must through several stages of the process, one of which is the machining process. There are several factors that can affects the quality of the machining of the casting wheel l including raw materials and the condition of the engine. 

            That Fanuc machine robodrill α-T14fe can perform machining processes on the casting wheel with quality products and good quality, it takes a good machining process in a manner appropriate work instruction procedures work (IK) and a performance or reliability of the machine should be good anyway. 

            Event production process that will either support the achievement of optimum productivity. But they often appear obstacles one of them caused by the flow machines use less than the maximum in result damages are still common.

            Of the many factors affecting the maximum use of the machine due to lack of damage that occurs, we cannot finish overall with the same time. For that we specify the type of engine damage that is the highest of the data obtained to look for the cause and prevention of the problem.

 

 

2.     LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1.       PDCA Cycle

            PDCA cycle is commonly used to test and implement changes to improve the performance of a product, a process or a system in the future.

Figure 1: PDCA cycle

Source: Chase, Aqilano and Jacobs (2001)

            Explanation of the stages in the PDCA cycle is as follows (NASUTION, 2005): Explanation of the stages in the PDCA cycle is as follows:

(i)          Develop a plan (Plan), These include planning specification, set of specifications or standards of good quality, give understanding to subordinate the importance of product quality, the quality control is done CONSEQUENTIAL continuous and sustainable,

(ii)        Implementing the plan (Do), plans have been drawn up implemented gradually, starting from small scale and evenly distribution of tasks in accordance with the capacity and capability of each personnel. Over in implementing the plan should be carried out control, which is to strive for the whole plan to be implemented in the best possible target can be achieved,

(iii)       Checking or research outcomes (check), check or examine referring to the determination of whether implementation is on track, according to the plan and monitor progress planned improvements. Comparing the quality of production with the standards set, based on the research data showed the failure and then analyzed the causes of failure,

(iv)       Perform if necessary adjustment measures (Action), planning specification, set of specifications or standards good quality, give insight to subordinate the importance of product quality, control quality is done continuously and sustainably.

2.2.       DELTA Method (Eight Steps, Seven Tools)

            According to Vincent Gaspersz (TOPS: Team Oriented Problem Solving, 2007), eight steps and seventool in the solution of problems that have been commonly known quality is very useful for beginners who are involvedin the process of performance improvement of quality and productivity of the company. Among them are 8 stepsis :

2.2.1.   Defining Problem and Determining Theme of Quality Improvement

            In the field of quality, the problem is the gap (gap) between the output of the process now and customer needs, both internal customers (the following process in SIPOC: Suppliers-Inputs-Processes-Outputs-Customers) and external customers (customer needs). Quality improvement should be related to the theme directly with quality problems encountered in the working environment of their respective companies. When identifying and selecting issues, quality improvement team (Quality Improvement Team) must develop a problem statement that is clearly understood by all members of the team.

2.2.2.   Looking All The Possible Causes

            Quality improvement teams should identify all possible causes lead problems that have been identified in Step 1 above. Step 2 includes the collection and organizing data to document the causes of the problem. The causes of the problem which is probably derived from the controllable factors (7M: Manpower, Methods, Materials, Machines, Mother Nature or Media (Working Environment), Motivation and Money) and causes can expected or predictable (predictable causes) sourced from uncontrollable factors.

2.2.3.   Analyzing the Root Cause of the Problem

            The first sign of a problem is a symptom (symptoms) and not the cause (causes). Therefore the team improving the quality needs to understand what is referred to as: the symptoms (symptoms), causes (causes), and root causes (root causes). 

            Asking why several times using a why-why diagram will directed us to get to the root cause of the problem, so that the appropriate action at the root cause problems are found it will eliminate the problem. The root causes of problems found it, then grouped into factor 7M (Manpower, Machines, Methods, Materials, Mother Nature or Media, Motivation, Money).

2.2.4.   Planning a Corrective Action

            Quality problem solution plan should focus on measures to eliminate the root the cause of the problem that is within the scope of responsibilities of the department within the organization (controllable causes), and anticipating the causes uncontrolled but unpredictable (uncontrollable but predictable causes).

2.2.5.   Improvement Implementation

            Carrying out repairs means the implementation of permanent corrective actions are in dire need commitment of management and employees as well as the total participation to jointly eliminate the root the causes of quality problems that have been identified in step three above. Data recording quality also be done during the implementation stage as well as the need to identify the cause of the event irregularities in the implementation phase of this permanent corrective action.

2.2.6.   Studying Result of Improvement

            After the implementation of quality improvement projects over a certain period by a team improvement quality, usually 3-6 months, necessary to study and evaluation based on data collected during improving the quality of the project implementation phase was to determine whether the types of problems that exist have been lost or less, which shows that quality improvement projects that are truly effective and efficient.

2.2.7.   Standardizing Solutions and Best Practices

            The results were satisfactory from the permanent corrective action or solution to the problem through the project quality improvement should be standardized, and thus achieve continuous improvement in kind other issues raised following the Eightfold Path.

2.2.8.   Make a Final Report and Determining Next Plan of Quality Improvement

            All 8 steps outlined above may be organized into a cycle of Deming (PDCA: Plan, Do, Check, Act) or into the cycle of DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control)a methodological approach to the problem solution in Six Sigma projects.

2.3.       KAIZEN Philosophy

            Kaizen is derived from the word meaning improvement and ZENKAI means either. Kaizen is defined as an improvement continuously (continuous improvement). Feature key kaizen management, among others, more attention to the process and not the result, cross-functional management and using quality circles and other equipment for supporting continuous improvement (CANE, 1998).

            For some people may be familiar with the word Kaizen (read: kai-zinc). Literally Kai = change and Zen = better. In a simple sense Kaizen is a continuous improvement effort to be better than the present conditions. There are also people who have called Kaizen Teian which means: "Kaizen" means "continuous improvement", while "teian" means "system". So, Kaizen Teian means a comprehensive enterprise system is done in order continuous improvement striving to achieve better conditions than today, so as to bring a new breath in every company or organization.

            In its application within the company, including the definition Kaizen continuous improvement involving all workers, both top-level management to lower levels of management (TAKEDA, 2006). Kaizen or continuous improvement is always in conjunction with the Total Quality Management (TQM).

            Even before the TQM philosophy is carried out or before the quality system can implemented in a company then this philosophy will be implemented so that improvements continuous (Just in time) this is a business that is attached to the TQM philosophy itself.

            So that could Kaizen also a unified view of a comprehensive and integrated characterized customer oriented, thorough quality control (Total Quality Management), robotics, quality control, system advice, automation, discipline at work, maintenance of productivity, Kanban, refinement and improvement of quality, timely, seamless, small group activities, cooperative relationships between managers and employees and new product development.

3.     METHODOLOGY

            In conducting the analysis and search for overcoming the problem of engine damage, and to investigate increase skill up maintenance, the authors performed the steps below :

a)  Collect data daily engine trouble over a period of one year, using a check sheet.

b)  Analyze the data check sheet into Histogram to determine what kind of trouble most high in a period of 1 year.

c)  Knowing the kind of trouble that priority will be followed up to do improvement/kaizen, using Pareto Diagram.

d)  Implementation of the system within the PDCA cycle DELTA contained seven tools, for facilitate troubleshooting in engine damage.

e)  Review basic maintenance skills up before and after repair within one year.

       All of the steps are carried out above, the authors found an increased skill up maintenance significantly. This course will be a major influence on performance motivation maintenance with added kaizen reward.

4.     RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1.       Collecting data using Check sheet

            Note that the first day of production, there can be not only one type(engine trouble), but can be more than one kind. Therefore, the type of damage recorded by the maintenance part is the most dominant type of damage. Data taken from the data damage that occurred in January 2013 until December 2013. The following is data about engine damage Fanuc robodrill at the Dept. 3 Production Machining Casting Wheel PT.YPMI.

Table 1: Unit in minutes

 

4.2.       Analyzing data using Histogram

            To make it easier to see more clearly the trouble that occurs in accordance with the above table, then the next step is to create a histogram. The trouble Data presented in graphical form be am divided by type of machinery spare parts available

Figure 2: Histogram Diagram FANUC Robodrill

4.3.       Determine improvement priorities (using Pareto Diagram)

            By using Pareto diagram, can be seen where the dominant trouble so it can identifies priorities for solving the problems within a year period. Pareto diagram is a diagram that used to identify, sort and work to eliminate damage to the machine permanent. With this diagram, it can be seen the kind of damage that the most dominant machine on production processes during 2013.

            Based on the above data it can be arranged a Pareto Diagram as shown in the following figure

Figure 5: Diagram Pareto Kerusakan Mesin

 

Step 2 : Search for All Causes of Breakdown 9using tools Fishbone Chart)

            Furthermore, researchers perform data processing using tools fishbone diagram (Fish Bone Chart) to locate all causes - causes that resulted in damage "lever door not back to its original position" occurs. Below is a diagram fishbone / Fish Bone Chart result of data processing based on the data - field data as well as interviews to operators production and leader production who was in the field when the damage occurred, the researchers get.

Figure 6: Analysis of Cause (Fish Bone Chart )

            Causal diagram shows the relationship between the problems faced by possible reasons and factors that influence it. The analysis of the causes of group Door trouble with trouble name "Door Lever does not return to its original position" is as follows:

4.4.1.1.       Human Factors

            When the operator opens the door after the cutting process is finished, the operator opens the door in a hurry- Hurry or rush - rush. Resulting in head lever door lock components made of plastic, experienced a pulling force is too large. So that the door lock lever head of wear on parts head. Similarly, in closing the door. Head door lock lever to clash very hard when there is contact with the key switch made of iron plate. Operator to open - close the door with haste - haste aims to speed up the time target.

4.4.1.2.       Machine Factors

            Key door position switch experiencing tilt due to concussion that occurs when the door is shut down. Movement of the door into drag (gap) for roller doors wear out. While the cause of roller experiencing wear, is because a lot of scrap coming into the roller area. So that the roller is made of nylon rubbing against the incoming scrap. Head lever door lock made of plastic experience wear and tear caused concussion with key switch made of iron plate. This is what causes head lever door lock lever does not return to its original position, after the door is opened.

4.4.1.3.       Method Factors

            Repair trouble lever door lock does not return to its normal position requires a long time, because the position of the door lock unit itself is difficult to reach under normal circumstances and on a narrow position. Event The trouble is very often the case with the amount of time 2166 minutes per year. Trouble is a kind trouble highest compared with other kinds of trouble.

            With a high-intensity, kind of trouble is also spending a lot of the same types of parts for handle such improvements. So the company has experienced indent part for part types door lock unit.

Step 3 : Analyze Root Cause Problems

            Researchers analyzed the causes of damage to the machine and material factors. In the machinery and material factors. There are a number of causes of damage are closely linked and often happens, the lever wear cause liver cannot return to its original position.

            While the cause why lever can be fast suffering from wear, it happened because the lever is made of plastic material that can be easily damaged if experience impact or friction with objects harder material than on the lever (iron).

            Even more during the process of cutting evaporation coolant vapor is then attached to the components door lock unit including a head lever door lock. Next image detail analysis of the causes of damage "lever door does not return to its original position ".

            Below is a picture where the position is at the door lock robodrill Fanuc machines. Position door lock difficult to reach by the operator (the necessary tools to achieve them) and on the engine is very narrow, being one of the causes why the length of time needed to make repairs in case of trouble "lever door lock does not return to its original position".

Figure 8: Analysis on the engine part

Step 4 : Corrective Action Plan

            After knowing the cause of damage type of machine trouble the 'Door' with the name 'level door does not return to its normal position 'which occurred at PT. YPMI is the most dominant place every month in 2013, then drafted a recommendation or a proposal of corrective actions in general in an effort to reduce the level of damage by making a general schedule retrieval and analysis Cause and Effect with 5W2H method as follows:

            Analysis of causation 5W2H trouble group Door cause and effect 5W2H  trouble group Door

4.4.2.   Do (Implement)

Step 5 : Implement Improvement with Kaizen Philosophy (Change System)

            With reference to the causal analysis by the method of 5W2H, researchers conducted improvement/Kaizen in trouble "Door Lock" by changing the process of standard door lock system, a material change of door lock which was originally wearing part Omron be door lock unit type cylinder lock with the operation of the mechanical system -pneumatic. The revamped operating system among others is, locking the system which originally uses electrical energy, into pneumatic energy. Type locking material which is generally made of plastic, converted into iron and aluminum materials.
