Abstract

This study focuses on the manual process of transferring plastic pellets into the plastic molding production machine, in which the operator brings the plastic pellets up to the top of the plastic molding production machine due to the high hopper on the plastic molding production machine. The goal of developing a plastic pellet autoloader tool is to automate the process of removing plastic pellets in order to shorten the process time for transferring plastic pellets into the hopper of a plastic molding production machine. The Root Cause Analysis method was employed in the research, which involves identifying difficulties that arise during the removal of plastic pellets and learning how to solve those problems. The result from the research conducted on the process of removing plastic pellets before improvement took 10,832.39 s to reach the target of 25 kg, while the results obtained after improvement were 467.32 s to reach the target of 25 kg. If the percentage can cut the cycle time by 95.68%.
