| dc.description.abstract | REDESIGNING THE PLANNING AND SCHEDULING AS WELL AS THE PRODUCTION OPERATIONS PROCESS IN AVADISIA BERDIRI TEGUH
Avadisia Berdiri Teguh is home-industry company that sells 150 gram
packaged sambal (chili parte) with brand Jeng Sambel. After the company has
operated for two years, the sales of Jeng Sambel are still far below other
competitors. The main problems that cause customers do not purchase Jeng Sambel
product are plain taste, unstable colour and short durability. Moreover, this
company also has to deal with overproduction problem. Overproduction causes the
unsold product from reseller that could not be sold again has to be disposed.
Another problem that happens is stock recording process does not run well. Those
problems are associated with production planning and scheduling and production
operation activity in the production cycle. Thus, the writer aims to redesign the
production planning, scheduling and production operation process in Avadisia
Berdiri Teguh.
This research is a qualitative research which uses interviews, documentation
and observation as data collection method. Interview process involves six
informants that are classified into three categories: this company’s competitors,
food experts and business professionals. The writer also uses triangulation
technique to test validity of the result and interview guidelines to maintain the
reliability. Observation was conducted by observing the competitor’s production
activity. The data collected were classified and analyzed to redesign the two
production activities of Avadisia Berdiri Teguh in the end.
Final results of this research shows that those problems could be overcomed
by refining some production activity parts such as switching plastic packaging to
the jar bottle, selecting the standard raw material before production and
implementing standard procedure including time standard and equipment used for
production. The final result is in the form of flowchart. In addition, the results shows
the importance of using simple application program to record the stock of materials
and finished goods. The result is expected to greatly improve the performance of
this company in the future | en_US |
