Abstract

Electronic Transformer Producer (ETP, a nickname) is electronic transformer manufacturing and distribution in Indonesia. The company has encountered challenges in meeting the escalating demands for both quantity and quality from its clientele. Concurrently, the company strives to curtail superfluous activities that do not contribute value within the production process. This study aims to pinpoint the key factors within the transformer production process to enhance the effectiveness and caliber of the electronic transformers yielded. In this research endeavor, Lean Six Sigma and Root Cause Analysis methodologies are employed to unearth inefficiencies within the production process that contribute to prolonged lead times and diminished quality benchmarks. Should contradictions arise as a consequence of implementing the Lean Six Sigma approach, the TRIZ methodology will be harnessed to bolster efforts toward process enhancement. Data to be utilized encompasses the entire production flow of electronic transformers, spanning from initiation to completion, alongside insights garnered from group discussions. The findings of this investigation underscore that by automating tasks lacking value-addition, ETP stands to reap substantial benefits. The investment funneled into these technological advancements proves lucrative, as evidenced by a positive net present value (NPV) of Rp. 43,181,818. Additionally, this automation endeavor will empower ETP to trim its workforce, culminating in a noteworthy 54% reduction in labor expenses, equivalent to a financial economy of Rp. 68,255,748.
