Analysis of the Effect of Six Big Losseson the Performance of Gas Metal Arc Welding Machine in the Training Institutes in Serang Banten Using the SEM-PLS Method.

Abstract

One of the important elements in the world of the manufacturing industry is to maintain optimal machine performance to increase company productivity. Measuring machine performance can be done by implementing Total Productive Maintenance by evaluating Overall Equipment Effectiveness and identifying all losses that occur so that improvements can be made to eliminate them. The main components of the OEE evaluation are all six big loss indicators that have an impact on machine performance and productivity. A training institute located in the city of Serang Banten Indonesia conducts competency-based training in several vocational fields. One of the training areas carried out is the welding engineering department. Training in welding techniques must be supported by machine performance which is always in optimal condition. The occurrence of damage to the welding machine will cause decreased productivity and delays in training... This research was conducted to analyze all six big loss indicators that affect performance on Gas Metal Arc Welding machines using the SEM-PLS method. The results showed that there were 5 (five) six big loss indicators that affected the low performance of the welding machine, namely breakdown losses (x11) Setup and Adjustment Losses (x12, Idling and Minor Stoppages Losses (x21), and defect losses (x31) Reduced yield losses (X32).Five indicators are priority improvements that must be made to improve machine performance so that the performance of the welding machine can be optimal.
