Lean Implementation for Improving Process Flow towards Industry Revolution (IR4.0) Using Arena Simulation

Lean manufacturing can be used to minimize waste and reduce non-added value activities in industries. In this era,all sectors in manufacturing want to implement IR 4.0 which is most of the process will use the Internet of Things(IoT). To increase the current IR4.0 level, some waste in the production system must be reduced to implement thenew technology. The purpose of this study is to implement a lean principle for improving process flow using ARENASimulation Software. This study had focused on the frozen food manufacturing industry. The process flow can beefficiency relied on how well the various production facilities, employee’s amenities and, machines are in aproduction system. This study had used Arena simulation software to analyze the data and remove the waste from theprocess flow in the production system. Data been collected for three days on 3 batches by using a qualitative methodwhich are interview, observation and time study method. The respondents were from the owner of the company,manager of the production and manager of the quality department. The outcome of this research is the company hadable to reduce the lead time in process flow by improving their layout of production. This lead time had reduced byeliminating waste such as waiting for time, transportation and flow of product. This improvement had increased by10% of productivity in this company.
