RESUME
Dans la production de la ligne de bière en bouteille, il a été observé que l'arrêt mineur
est le facteur principal dans le département de l'emballage. Nous avons défini l’arrêt mineur
chez l’inspecteur de la machine à laver et du flacon vide (EBI). Nous avons donc besoin de
plus pour réduire les arrêts mineurs afin d’améliorer la chaîne de production. Cela signifie que
nous avons réduit notre objectif et notre plan de production, de sorte que notre productivité
diminue également.
En conclusion, pour réduire les arrêts mineurs dans la chaîne de production de bière en
bouteille, il doit suivre la cause fondamentale et prendre des mesures afin de trouver la solution
en améliorant la qualité de la maintenance et l'autonomisation des employés, tout en leur
apportant davantage de compétences

ABSTRACT
In bottle beer line production, it was observed that minor stop is the main factor in
Packaging Department. We have defined minor stop at washer and empty bottle inspector
(EBI). So, we need more to reduce minor stop to improve production line. it’s mean we were
reduced our target and production plan so our productivity decreases as well.
To illustrate these root causes of problem, It need to understand the problem in reality
action at production by defining the problem of root cause which is the most concern problem.
The main of problem make minor stop cause fallen down bottle at guide infeed washer, nozzle
stuck, fallen down on conveyor at EBI, foreign and broken bottle. After that we collected data
from December to February. At the Washer have average minor stop 0.98% and Empty Bottle
Inspector 1.01% that we want to reduce both to 0.5%. We can define the real problem we use
5-WHY analysis for find the root cause. After, we find solution and improvement method to
apply on these root causes.
In the result, it was figured out that solution by check material by get out wrong type
and broken bottle from carton to crate. We arranged worker or operator pick up fallen down
bottle from conveyor. We checked conveyor have enough lubricate or not by check nozzle
when operating time. After we apply solution for root cause to reduce minor stop, we got result
is reduced. In march, result 0.3% at washer and 0.4% at EBI. In April, it continuous reduce to
0.29% at washer and 0.3% at EBI. So, for continuous improvement we set standardization of
visualize for guideline to operator or worker for solution when have problem.
In conclusion, to reduce minor stop in bottle beer line, it needs to follow up the root
cause and take actions in order to find the solution by improving maintenance quality and
empowerment to employee and add more skill to them.

1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this chapter, we would like to describe information about background of
Institute of Technology of Cambodia, Khmer Beverages company and problem of production
line. Furthermore, objective and scope that also presented.
1.1.Presentation of ITC
This institution is in cooperation with the Government of Cambodia and the Agence
Université de la Francophonie. The ITC comprises eight departments that are being actively
and effectively produce professional and researchers in science and technology for labor
market in Cambodia and the region. These departments are:
1
3. Department of Electrical Engineering and Energy (GEE)
4. Department of Computer Engineering and Communications (GIC)
5. Department of Industrial and Mechanical Engineering (GIM)
6. Department of Rural Engineering (GRU)
7. Department of Engineering Geo-Resource and Geotechnics (GGG)
8. Department of Option Architecture and Civil (OAC)
1.2.Presentation of Training
The internship is very compulsory. The students have chance practice in real work and
can apply course from school. For three months in a company, the trainees should work as
professional personal of society and it is possible that they take responsibility for their work.
Consequently, future new engineers begin to communicate with the world of work and know
well how to adopt in working life, as they will have to face in the very near future. The
knowledge gained during the period of the internship could be a very important experience and
the positive result for graduates to be able to work with efficiency in their trade in industrial
and mechanical field. In other-works, the course is really useful and inevitable for university
life because it can fill that missing during the studies.
Like other fifth-year student at ITC, to complete them, we made our internship in a
company called KHMER BEVERAGES, which is one of the famous companies in the
manufacture of beer and beverages. This course is started from 18 February until 17 May 2019
where the work is essentially linked to industrial manufacturing.
Khmer Beverages is one of Chip Mong Group’s business units. Founded in 2009, it is
a leading producer of beer and beverages, using state of the art technology and providing the
finest quality products to satisfy our consumers and their consumption value.

The company keep growing with more beverage product into market which’s not only about
brewing but also as Khmer Beverages (KHB) show in figure 1.2.
• March 17,2010: Started construction of 60 million dollar with the best technology
of Germany.
• August 31,2011: Start first brew.
• November 1,2011: KHB product in market.
• May 14,2012: Grand opening.
Cambodia Beer is an exceptional beer brewed according to the highest quality standards,
a beer in a class all of its own. It made from the purest water and premium ingredients,
Cambodia Beer is refreshing and easy to drink with a rich, fruity head giving way to a full-
3
bodied and creamy flavor. Using the finest ingredients from Europe, we make sure quality
comes first. To product the highest quality standard of beer, KHB makes up 5 visions such as:
1. Quality, 2. Hygiene, 3. Environments, 4. Safety, 5. Stable. There are four types of packaged
Cambodia Beer have been sold in local market and exported to Japan, Malaysia, and French.
Since the company is now known as Khmer Beverages, there are introduction to their
new beverage products in the market including Cambodia beer(can/bottle), Barrley Black,
Kudo, Kudo Stout, IZE(Cola/Lemon/Soda/Fruit punch), Joop(Apple/Orange/Lychee/Soursop),
Wurkz and Cambodia water. As shown in Figure 1.3.
1.4.Problem Statement
During three months of internship, we found that minor stop effect on productivities.
There was a problem of minor stop which occurred on washer machine and empty bottles
inspector (EBI) in production line.
We want to reduce minor stop at bottle line and suggest solution to improvement by
method analysis.
4
1.6. Objective
During three months we internship at KHB, we find some problem at bottle line that
make minor stop. It is small value but can be effect productivity. So, we decided to use method
fishbone Diagram and 5why analysis to find the main of problem after then we action in order
to solution solve the problem. Finally, it can make our productivities still continuous
improvement.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1.1. Responsibility
There are three types of categories of packaging: Keg, bottle, and can is filled by bright
beer show in figure 2.1. There are cans lines, bottles line, and keg line. Empty store and the
production process from bright beer products up to finished product transfer to warehouse is
responsibility of Packaging Department. The PaM/PaS are responsible for empty store and the
production process from the bright beer products up to finished product transfer to warehouse.
The PaTO and PaT are responsible to carry out operation according to related processes, work
instructions and documents.
In order to guarantee a smooth production, the PaTO and PaT carry out stock checks of
packaging materials and other materials required for the start of production via communication
with the Utilities, Logistics, Engineer, Quality Assurance and Brewing Teams. Up on receiving
a production plan from Logistic Team, PaS/PaTO prepares the weekly packaging schedule,
staff planning and training plan by communicating with all team involved. Once the schedule
is approved by PaM, PaS/PaTO distributes the approved schedule via e-mail to the respective
6
teams and departsments. Revising or changing of the approved weekly packaging schedule can
be done after an agreement between BrM and Sr. SPS involved is made, with the final approval
of PaM. The actual packed products will be filled in later on. The PaTO/PaT checks and ensures
that all equipment/machine required for production are well maintained and calibrated by the
appointed person/team according to its Maintenance/Calibration Process. The PaM/PaS must
ensure that only the trained/qualified technician is being allowed to operate machines and so
on. Whenever possible, staff development/training must be arranged and provide according to
training need and plan. The PaTO/PaT makes sure a good/defect free quality supply of utilities
is available for the start of production by communicating with Utilities staffs. The PaTO/PaT
ensures and checks all updated product/process parameters are available at the point of
use/operation and all critical parameters are checked and tested according to the sampling plan
(refer KHB-QUA-GEN-FOR-004). The changes of product/process parameter documents are
done by the respective/appointed person(s). From the start till end of production, in case of any
deviation in product/process parameters/specifications, or major problem, the PaTO/PaT is
required to immediately and temporarily stop the production for rectifying the cause with the
support of specialized person from the Engineering Department. In the means time, the
PaTO/PaT is also required to inform and seek instructions from the PaM/QAM/EM. On hold:
Whenever an out of specification of either in-process or finished products is found, the
PaTO/PaT must immediately separate the product to put On Hold with an attached On Hold
tag (Red paper) and raise an On Hold form, inform PaM/PaS, communicate and follow up with
all teams involved until a final verification of the On Hold is made. For the purpose of
production requirement/improvement, the TOP/PTP ensures and communicates well with other
teams in order to seek/gain all necessary supports from them as and when required.
Product trail: Whenever a trial of any product/packaging material is initiated, the
initiator(s) is requested to adhere the Process for Trial. Hardware/Software Change: Whenever
recipe/parameter changes in hardware/software of the process computers are initiated, the
initiator(s) is requested to adhere Process for Standard Modification Report. Work order:
Whenever any part of process/machine is found defective, the PaTO/PaT must immediately
raise a Work Order form in SAP system, write on the tag, communicate and follow up the
raised Work Order well with all teams involved until a repair/maintenance of the Work Order
is completed successfully.

For the process, Filler machine is the machine that use to filling beer into bottle
and bottle move to crowner cork. Before run filler machine, we need to doing CIP for
startup bottle filler we have to foam and rinse off conveyor, filler, crowner, surrounding
and do external cleaning filler and crowner. Filler machine has 40 valves for filling beer
to bottles that can make capacity 12000 bottles/hour show in figure 2.7.
12
2.1.3.5. Full Check Level 1
We use worker for check level of bottle whether it is in-control or not from filler
machine check by eyes. And we use light board and draw the sign of beer’s level and put it at
behind of the bottles beer to make worker easier check show in figure 2.8.
Bottle pasteurizer is an automatic machine for pasteurize the beer in bottle for kill
micro and calculate by PU=T*1.392(t-60). This process is use to make the beer can
store in the bottles for 1 year. In this process it has 8 zones for heating such as:
• Zone 1 : 28 oC
• Zone 2 : 42 oC
• Zone 3 : 60-63 oC

Figure 2. 22 Bottle infeed
2.1.4.4. Label Removal
The removed labels from both flooding zones are collected on a wire-mesh bell,
occupying the whole machine width. This belt discharges the labels to the right-hand side of
the machine where they are brushed off the belt. The wire-mesh belt guarantees a continuous
label and dirt separation, which in combination with the other filtration devices results in a long
caustic solution usage period as shown in figure 2.23.

• One or several encoders at the conveyor (if included in the scope of delivery).
• One or several rejectors (if included in the scope of delivery)
• one casing in the infeed area and one casing in the outfeed area or
• only a casing in the outfeed area or - no casings in the infeed and outfeed area.
The standard device requires a driving power of 700 N excluding the infeed and outfeed
conveyors. The performance of the drive motor on the outfeed side should not be lower than
1.8 KW. The conveyor chain at the outfeed must comply with DIN 8153/ISO 4348, C13 S-4
material: 1.4589.
Use only water (without additives) for the conveyor lubrication of the infeed conveyor.
The outfeed conveyor is to be wetted with the conventional belt lubricants.

Figure 2. 26 Instruction of Empty bottle inspection
2.1.5.3. Purpose of Empty Bottle Inspector
The proper use of the HEUFT Inline empty bottle inspector is to check empty containers
for damage, visible contamination and residual liquid by means of a non-contact inspection.
The base, the finish and/or the sidewall are checked for faults depending on the equipment. The
inspector controls the rejection of dirty or faulty containers.
The exclusive intended purpose of the conveyor system of the Inline standard device is
to transport containers by means of the conveyor belts and the conveyors in the infeed and
outfeed area.
When an additional HEUFT conveyor system is included in the scope of delivery, its
exclusive intended purpose is to transport containers. The designation "containers" used in this
documentation is an umbrella term for bottles, jars and plastic containers.
25
After the production containers have entered the inspector, they are transported along
different inspections depending on the equipment. They check the base area, the sidewall area
and the closure area of the containers for damage and visible contamination. Other measuring
systems such as sensors to detect residual liquids can be added to the inspections. The image
processing systems in the standard device release strobes to illuminate the containers, activate
cameras with optics modules to take pictures of passing containers and evaluate the camera
pictures. An evaluation result is produced for each production container by each image
processing system. The current position of each container in the check area of the standard
device is tracked via one or several encoders and trigger photocells. The evaluation results for
each container are collected on an electronic data sheet by means of this container tracking.
The containers entered as faulty on the data sheet are removed from the production flow by
means of a rejector.
Fishbone diagrams can be defined as a diagram that shows the possible causes of a
specific event or a problem. They were first introduced by Kaoru Ishikawa in 1968 which is
why they are sometimes referred to as Ishikawa diagrams. He pioneered the quality
management processes at Kawasaki and used Ishikawa diagrams as part of the process.
Ishikawa diagrams are causal diagrams created by Kaoru Ishikawa that show the causes of a
specific event. Common uses of the Ishikawa diagram are product design and quality defect
prevention to identify potential factors causing an overall effect. Each cause or reason for
imperfection is a source of variation.
A cause and effect diagram are examining that something happen or might happen by
organizing potential cause in to small category. It useful to show factor of problem to analysis
on the fishbone diagram. The 4M related to the fishbone or cause and effect diagram that
different type of waste is divide accord to origin: M=Man, M=Material, M= Machine and
M=Method as show in figure 2.28.
26
Figure 2. 27 Cause and Effect Diagram

However, sometimes the major cause categories can be used as catalyst to
generate ideas. This is especially helpful when the of idea starts to slow down.
Step 4: Categories Cause
Once your list of cause has been generated, you can start to place them in the
appropriate category on the diagram.
Step 5: Determine Deeper Cause
Each cause on the chart is then analyzed further to determine if there is a more
fundamental cause for that aspect. This can be done by asking the question “Why does
it happen”.
This step can also be done for the deeper causes that are identified. Generally,
you can stop going deeper when a cause is controlled one level of management removed
from your group. Use your judgment to decide when to stop.
Step 6: Identify Root Causes
The final step for creating a fishbone diagram is to identify the root cause of the
problem.
Finally, Cause and effect diagram are an excellent way to explore and visually depict
the cause of a problem. They enable the root causes of a problem to be determined. This will
help you be more effective by focusing your actions on the true causes of the problem and not
on its symptoms.
This technique was formally developed by Taiichi Ohno and was used within the
Toyota Motor Corporation during the evolution of its manufacturing methodologies. In other
companies, it appears in other forms. It was originally developed by Sakichi Toyoda and was
used within the Toyota Motor Corporation during the evolution of its manufacturing
methodologies. It is a critical component of problem-solving training, delivered as part of the
induction into the Toyota Production System.
The 5Why is method usually use together with fishbone or cause and effect diagram. It
uses to determine the root cause of problem by repeating the question start “Why” and answer
until we can find the main of problem that can be effect to productivities. We use the form are
show in figure 2.29.
28
Figure 2. 28 5WHYs Analysis
2.2.1. The steps used by 5WHYs
The steps used by 5WHYs are:
• Announcing the waste to the team, being as precise as possible when describing the
problem.
• The team ponders the cause of waste for this first time, and then writes the explanation
under the problem description.
• If the explanation does not immediately identify the cause of waste, then step two is
repeated.
• Last step is repeated as often as necessary, until the real cause of waste is found.
29
Explaining the problem
The member of staff needs a lot of time (up to 4 min) to identify the objects in the
Bags.
• Why?
The monitor brightness isn’t great, it could be either the monitor itself or the
surroundings.
Team discussion: the monitors are among the best on the market, but the brightness
isn’t very good, maybe something else reduces it
• Why?
The monitor’s brightness is reduced by the monitor behind it.
Team discussion: the monitors behind are information boards for passengers and they
don’t seem to be that bright; but they are also used to display ads.
• Why?
Ads are much brighter than the information for passengers.
Finally, the causes of waste have been identified, the team proceeds to remove the waste
[1].
2.3. Histogram
30
Figure 2. 29 Histogram
2.3.1. Parts of a Histogram
• The title: The title describes the information included in the histogram.
• X-axis: The X-axis are intervals that show the scale of values in which the
measurements fall under.
• Y-axis: The Y-axis shows the number of times that the values occurred within the
intervals set by the X-axis.
• The bars: The height of the bar shows the number of times that the values occurred
within the interval while the width of the bar shows the interval that is covered. For a
histogram with equal bins, the width should be the same across all bars.
31
skewed distribution usually occurs when the data has a range boundary on the right-
hand side of the histogram. For example, a boundary such as 100.
• A random distribution: A random distribution lacks an apparent pattern and has several
peaks. In a random-distribution histogram, it can be the case that different data
properties were combined. Therefore, the data should be separated and analyzed
separately.
2.4. Visualization
32
2.5. Kaizen
Kaizen forms an umbrella that covers many techniques including Kanban, Total
Productive maintenance, six sigma, automation, just-in-time, suggestion system and
productivity improvement, etc. as shown in figure 2.31.
Watson (1986) says that the origin of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle or Deming
cycle can be traced back to the eminent statistics expert Shewart in the 1920s.
Shewart introduced the concept of PDCA. The Total Quality Management (TQM) guru
Deming modified the Shewart cycle as: Plan, Do, Study and Act. The Deming cycle is a
continuous quality improvement model consisting of a logical sequence of these four repetitive
steps for Continuous Improvement (CI) and learning. The PDCA cycle is also known as
Deming Cycle, the Deming wheel of CI spiral.
33
Suzaki (1987) explains that CI is a philosophy widely practiced in manufacturing and
quality circles.
Teian (1992) describes that Kaizen is more than just a means of improvement because
it represents the daily struggles occurring in the workplace and the manner in which these
struggles are overcome. Kaizen can be applied to any area in need of improvement.
Hammer et al. (1993) explain that Kaizen generates process-oriented thinking since
processes must be improved before better results are obtained.
Deniels (1995) explains that the way to achieve fundamental improvement on the shop
floor is to enable operators to establish their own measures, to align business strategies and to
use them to drive their Kaizen activities.
Williams (2001) highlights that CI techniques are the recognized way of making
significant reduction to production costs. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a well-known
technique for translating customer requirements for a product into functional specification.
Abdolshah and Jahan (2006) describe how to use CI tools in both quantitative and
qualitative tools in different life periods of an organization have been discussed
Figure 2. 31 KAIZEN
Kaizen is a method from Japanese that come from two words: Kai (Improvement) and
Zen (good) in which translated continuous improvement. Some translate ‘Kai’ to mean change
and ‘Zen’ to mean for the better. It’s a philosophy that should be considered, not only at work,
34
but everywhere involved as well. Kaizen refers to activities that continuously improve all
function and employee.
35
2.5.4. Other benefits improve the overall culture of the company and increase
employee retention
• Improved communication and cooperation
• Improved morale and employee satisfaction
• Greater personal investment in the company among employees and
management.
The real power of Kaizen is in the on-going process of continually making small
improvements that improve processes and reduce waste.
Choose the part that we need to improvement and develop a clearly define
process improvement goal.
36
Figure 2. 33 Kaizen Step
Step 4: Action plan
Collecting data allows the team to understand the present situation and extent
of the problem. Data gives the information needed to analyze an issue.
Data can be analyzed using scatter diagrams, check sheets, histograms, flow
charts, control charts, Pareto analysis, cause and effect analysis, and 5 Whys analysis.
37
helpful to start with brainstorming, grouping the possible solutions, prioritizing, and
then asking the 5Whys.

3.1.4. Action Plan
In order to understand the problem that make minor stop at washer and EBI, we try to
focus the machine during operating time. We decide to get data of 3 months (December,
January and February) to study about the problem.
In the first month, we focus to find root cause of the problem at washer and EBI when
operating time. We have to study with process of machine, man and material because it is factor
that can make the problem.
In order to collect an effective data for the mentioned wastes, several of steps in this
data collection procedure must be made.
First. Stay in the process by immersing ourselves some times in the actual location to
understand all the basic information from operation to even autonomous maintenance. We aim
to observe and seek for any abnormal situations during the operating time which created by
machine or operator’s behavior or other factors.
Second. Try to follow up with standby people who understand the process well as can
be involve technician, machine operator, line leader etc. They already had the experience in the
field and know almost every occurred malfunction. By exchanging question or information
with them can also lead us to the deeper process and bring up the other problem that affect the
recent problem. So, this step is about the information flow which help us for better data
collection.
We collect data from December to February that make minor stop at washer and EBI
from packaging leader that recording in computer. We decide to get old data and start action
plan for find solution to reduce minor stop follow target that we want. In table 3.1 show about
total minor stop at washer. In December have minor stop 1.40 %, January have 1.02% and
February 0.53%. The bottle line starts up production by manned time 12 hour per day (appendix
1).

After we find percent of total minor stop per month. We plot data in graph and set target
for reduce on next month. In figure 3.4 show about graph of total minor stop per month at the
washer we calculate average in three months have average 0.98% reduce to 0.5% that is target
we want to reduce on next month. EBI have average 1.01% reduce to 0.5% too as shown in
figure 3.5.

To have a precise analyze data for the three major wastes, we have two exact ways to
modifier and present them before leading to the effective treatment. The motion waste and
Time loss (waiting time). Motion waste occur from worker because in bottle line have a lot of
workers. For waiting time is minor stop when one machine stop it can make another machine
wait too. Time loss (waiting time) is type of waste which can be measured and recorded in
number. It is available as information by involving stuff’s recording and from the computer
system. We even able to analyze this waste directly when having enough provided data in table
3.3.
44
3.4. Root Cause Analysis
After we collect data and find the problem, we decide to analysis with fishbone diagram
for structure brainstorming the cause of the problem as shown in figure 3.6. We focus at washer
and EBI by find the problem that can make minor stop when operating time and the problem
occur again and again at the same action. At the washer have problem cause by fallen down
oven from worker, fallen down at guide frame infeed and conveyor. At the empty bottle
inspector have problem cause by fallen down on conveyor, foreign and broken bottle.

At the Empty Bottle Inspector, we find the problem that make minor stop cause fallen
down on conveyor from discharge of washer when not pick up fallen down revers from washer
until discharge from washer it will fallen down. Other cause by conveyor because not enough
lubricate and convex belt not check it. When start up production by didn’t check it will have
broken and foreign bottle because the bottles get recycle from the market when have bottle
wrong type that sensor will alarm stop the machine make minor stop. After we find the problem,
we start analyze it with 5whys analysis for find the root cause of problem as shown in table
3.5.
Table 3. 5 5Whys analysis at Empty Bottle Inspector

4. Discussion and Results
4.1. Countermeasures
After we find the root cause of the problem by 5 whys analysis. We discuss and think
about solution for solve the problem. We need to action by check material and machine before
operating time. After that have planned maintenance on the machine by check and clean it. We
should create visualize for worker and operator that can make them easy before start up
production (appendix 3).
In figure 4.1 show about action plan for implement solution of washer that is solution
for bottle fallen guide frame infeed washer by pick up bottle by operator or worker and check
sensor by clean it every shift by operator.
47
At the empty bottle inspector (EBI) we implement solution of the root cause as shown
in the figure 4.3, it is solution to reduce minor stop by check or clean machne and material
beafor start up or operating time.we changed carton to crate it can make worker easy for lift it
into conveyor. After that we check the material before start up machine by get the broken bottle
and foreign bottle out when get from warehouse but warehouse should checck it too.
Figure 4. 3 Implement solution of change carton to crate and get out material wrong type and
broken
In figure 4.4 show about proble have bottle fallen down on conveyor for solution we
need to pick up and check conveyor have lubricate or not when operating time. We checked
nozzle every shaft. If have nozzle stuck when operating time we need to clean it with air blow
or adjust the valve. We repair conveyor or change belt when daily maintenance.
Figure 4. 4 Implement solution at EBI when have fallen down bottle by pick up it
48
For bottle fallen down from discharge washer, we arrange worker or operator to pick
up bottle revers or fallen down from infeed washer and get out when discharge.because it can
make minor stop if everyone don’t care it. In figure 4.5 show about all of solution the problem
at empty bottle inspector.
After we apply method and solution for solve the root cause of problem at washer and
EBI at the first month we can see the result is reduced. In march as shown in figure 4.6 and
4.7, washer reduced from 0.98% to 0.3% and empty bottle inspector reduced from 1.01%
to 0.4%. We continuous improvement by use apply method again and follow the solution
that defined.
49
In April, Washer reduced from 0.3% to 0.29% and EBI reduced from 0.4% to 0.3%
follow target we want small than 0.5%.

We should make standardization of visualize for worker and operator before start up
operating production. It can make easy when have guideline for worker and operator should
follow it.
50
At the washer have problem cause bottle fallen on conveyor and nozzle stuck. Therefore,
we should create visualize as show in figure 4.8 for arrange worker how to pick-up bottle fallen
when operator and worker follow visualize that production will improve and reduce minor stop.
For reduce waste level of worker, we arrange 1 worker for exchange 1 hour for pick up bottle
because in line have a lot of worker because line is haft automatic for reduce level, we use
some worker for pick up bottle when fallen down at guide frame infeed washer.
51
At the EBI we created visualize for how to pick-up bottle on conveyor as shown in
figure 4.10. We arrange exchange worker because at full level check 1 have 2 workers for
check level bottle. So, we arrange 1 worker pick up bottle when fallen down and 1 worker
watch the level of bottle and after that exchange 1 hour.
Figure 4. 10 Visualize of how to exchange worker to pick up fallen over bottle at EBI

5. Conclusion
Quality of packaging beer in KHB company is follow to ISO standard and Beer
packaging has a big image to company. The process of package bottle line beer is start from
the empty bottle in de-palletizer infeed to washer that clean it with 7 zones to remove any
particles from inside bottle. After bottles move to EBI inspect whereby the defective bottle and
foreign bottles matters are rejected then continue to filler and crowner machine to fill bright
beer then enter the crowner. After then it continually moved to Pasteurizer machine to kill
harmful bacteria and yeast in the beer. After thirty minutes in pasteurizer in moved to labeler
and bottle coder to print the date and time on the label. Then it was packaged into manual
carton packer by using carton from carton forming by worker. After that it move to manual
carton sealer, carton coder and into manual palletizer. Finally, finish product will move to
warehouse.
During process it can make minor stop almost at washer and empty bottle inspector. It
is small value but it makes waste waiting time for another machine. Another waste motion
from worker that can make minor stop too. To reduce minor stop at washer and EBI we need
to follow up the root cause and take actions to find the solution by improving maintenance
quality and empowerment to employee and add more skill to them. Summary, after we have
analysis the problem by those method, we can find solution by implement to reduce minor stop
at washer and EBI. After we had applied all method above the result of minor stop at washer
reduced from 0.98% to 0.3% and at EBI reduced from 1.01% to 0.4%. After results reduced it
can eliminate waste for waiting time and motion by set standardization for job instruction for
worker.
In the future work, we believe that if we continuous follow those suggestion of method
our productivities are still continuous improvement that will help production able to minimize
wastes and also improve both performance and productivity in the meantime.
