Additional Installation of Carrying Facilities

One way to reduce waste is by additional installation of carrying facilities. Carrying waste is a complex problem because the waste could be due to the planning of factory layouts that do not refer to the concept of lean manufacturing.

Adding installations for the transport facilities are also not a simple problem, because the addition of new facilities mean changing the existing layout. With the elements of manufacturing that is a waste should be avoided. The addition of this facility not only increase the speed and transmission capacity, but must consider other factors. Does the addition of this facility does not interfere with views of the factory, whether the addition of this facility in accordance with a layout that refers to the concept of 5S, and whether the addition of this facility does not affect the performance of another section. Everything must be planned carefully and thoroughly.

Increase of Man-hour Incurred by Wasteful Carrying

Increased working hours of workers in lean manufacturing concepts should be avoided as much as possible because it costs to workers will be even greater. Similarly, with Increase of man-hours incurred by wasteful carrying. Carrying activities should be set only 5% of overall production activity, but because too much waste then what happens is time-consuming activity of carrying up to 30%.

A company that let the state of waste take place, the land will gradually undermine the financial company. The biggest expenditure that can be felt are paying more salary workers because of the overtime hours that should not be necessary.

Production Reduction by Carrying wastage

Any waste would obviously make the productivity will decrease. But this time I will discuss about the decline in productivity caused by carrying waste. As explained earlier that wastage is carrying all the transportation activities which include activities of loading and unloading, transporting goods, unload, move goods from one place to another. Activities related to transport activities is much cause problems and waste that should be eliminated or minimized in stages.

Decrease in productivity is among others caused by:

1. Disrupted delivery schedules
Schedule timely delivery of materials is the key of the machine or production efficiency can be achieved. In the event of disruption to the delivery of the material production then automatically schedules production will also be disrupted. Production is delayed or interrupted because production had to stop because of certain conditions. Productivity of production machines will not work optimally.

Reloading of Articles Led to Waste Time

Too many points of suspension or temporary storage at the plant will also cause problems. Obvious problems that will occur will lead to waste time, especially for work loading and unloading of materials from the conveyance or removal of the means of conveyance.

Activities will be spent loading and unloading articles operator. It also will cause a lot of waste time. This possibility will always occur repeatedly in the event queue before being processed articles. In standard conditions should be placed near the production machines, but because of the place is full then placed around the place occupied by the material should not have to wait for production.
