ANALISIS PERBAIKAN TAKE UP MOTION PROCESS PADA MESIN TENUN AIR JET LOOM DENGAN METODE FMEA

Take up motion is a crucial problem in the loom section because one of the core motions of the machine process. There were 67 process failures on the take up motion for three months. The study aims to decrease process failure on the take up motion which impacts on production loss, i.e down time and defects by applying FMEA. After analyzing the flow process, 11 potential causes were found from 3 potential failure modes in the areas. The first priority with RPN value of 108 is the quality of the roll teeth gear is not up to standard. Improvement recommendation is replacing the lower roll gear from plastic material to steel to increase component lifetime and performance. The Second priority with RPN value of 105 is the operator accuracy in installing the fabric roll at the beginning of the process. Improvement recommendation is implementing double checking procedures with inspection by supervisor. The Second priority with RPN value of 105 is the operator accuracy in installing the fabric roll at the beginning of the process. Improvement recommendation is implementing double checking procedures with inspection by supervisor. The third priority with RPN value of 96 is improper lubrication. Improvement recommendation is replacing the oil lubricant with grease which is appropriate for the engine speed. This research can recommend an improvement on take up motion based on the proposed repairs or maintenance list, using the FMEA method to decrease the process failure loom machine in the weaving industry.
