THE PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT OF HOME -MADE PRODUCTION LINE BY DEVELOPING OF SEMI-AUTO BATTER DISPENSING SYSTEM: KUIH BAHULU

The focus of this study is to improve the production system of a traditional food process. Specifically, by developing the semi-automated production line to improve the production rate of the current of kue bahulu process flow. In this study, Arena software is used to conduct the simulation towards the production line. First, identification of bottleneck problem related to the process flow of the production line. Second, development of dispensing system using SolidWorks software to design the semi-automated batter dispenser. Based on the simulation using Arena software, there were some improvement made and showed that the production line is significantly improved since the semi-automated batter dispensing installed in the system production line
