| dc.description.abstract | This research deal the improvement of the factor influence the operator performance on jute bag manufacturing of the horizon plantation coffee processing and warehouse company in Ethiopian by using modeling and simulation approach. The operator performance is the main factor to determine for productivity, quality of product and capability in the jute bag manufacturing industry. The study systematically analyses the primary data collection for questioner and interview for machine operator and stakeholder for comparatively secondary data gathered for record daily operator performance, monthly and annually report by using for qualitative and qualitative methods. Both the data collection types enable to investigating and distinguishing the factor influence the operator performance and system analyses to maximizing productivity. Although the employee’s intensive characteristic of the jute bag manufacturing limitation of the study has simulated and modeled that enable improve the problem change operator performance in the actual-processing work environments. This research explain an additional analysis of the work processing and productivity, safety, health and motivation, performance and quality, skill and training machine down time, machine productivity capacity and raw material variables that affect daily operator activities. Uniqueness of the study focus on the work station on beaming, weaving and sewing enable to identifying, analyze and measure scenario the operator performance of the jute bag manufacturing industry. Finding explain critical value for different variables and to analyze results by modeling and simulation investigation improving the performance of the operator minimum 7.92 % for the bottle neck mitigation in the weaving work station and the maximum improvement 25% by minimizing machine down time. Summary of the study for identifying the bottleneck work-in-process the jute bag manufacturing among those weaving work station by using the modeling and simulation approach, then the proposed improvement of the jute bag manufacturing before the scenario testing the productivity operator performance 5906.2 kg/day and after bottleneck mitigation 6374kg/day which has been increased 467.8kg per day when mitigated by 30%. Recommendation for improvement of the working process by line balancing, give motivations and training, make machine lubrication, cleaning and program for preventive maintenance and building skill man power. | |
