http://journal.uvers.ac.id/index.php/greeners/article/view/334
<p>PT. XXX is a manufacturing fabrication company whose production process still involves non-value-added activities, resulting in a mismatch between planned and actual timelines, including a three-day delay in the production of the Car Body Stand. This study aims to identify value-added and non-value-added activities, calculate cycle time, and analyze Manufacturing Cycle Effectiveness (MCE) by comparing predicted and actual timelines, as well as to propose improvements to enhance production performance. The findings show that total value-added activities reach 480.5 hours, while non-value-added activities account for 41 hours. The predicted cycle time is 467 hours, whereas the actual cycle time extends to 551.5 hours. The MCE is 88.9% under predicted conditions and 85.8% in actual conditions. After implementing the proposed improvements, non-value-added activities decrease to 27 hours, and the cycle time improves to 523.5 hours, leading to an increased MCE of 90.4%. Overall, these results suggest that reducing non-value-added activities can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce delays.</p>Lita Silvianti Rosyadi

http://journal.uvers.ac.id/index.php/greeners/article/view/332
<p><em>This study is motivated by the importance of efficiency in material handling within warehouse logistics systems, which is influenced by physical factors, particularly the coefficient of friction of floor surfaces. The objective of this research is to analyze the effect of the coefficient of friction on pushing force and the operational efficiency of material handling in warehouses. The method employed is a direct experimental approach by moving a 10 kg load using a trolley over a distance of 5 meters on three types of surfaces: ceramic, wood, and carpet. Each treatment was repeated 20 times. The observed variables include pushing force, travel time, work, efficiency, and coefficient of friction, which were subsequently analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that an increase in the coefficient of friction significantly increases the required pushing force and travel time, while reducing system efficiency. The ANOVA test produced a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference among the surface types. Furthermore, Pearson correlation analysis revealed a very strong relationship between the coefficient of friction and pushing force (r = 0.990). Ceramic surfaces yielded the highest efficiency compared to wood and carpet. The study concludes that selecting floor materials with a low coefficient of friction can significantly improve the operational efficiency of material handling in warehouses, making it an important consideration in logistics system design.</em></p>Delia Meldra, Zefri Azharman
