ANALISIS KESEIMBANGAN LINTASAN PRODUKSI AIR MINUM DALAM KEMASAN UNTUK MENINGKATKAN OUTPUT PRODUKSI (STUDI KASUS: PT ALAM MAISI KABUPATEN LUWU)

Line balance in a company's production needs to be considered so that the products produced meet production targets. PT Alam Maisi is a bottled drinking water (AMDK) industry that often has problems at work stations. Where there is a production line that is piling up. For that, a method is needed to help balance the production line. To analyze this problem, the Rank Positional Weight (RPW) method is used, this method is used to identify failures in a production process and determine the weights of the production process. From the calculation results, it is known that there is a shortage of workers at the inspection work station. There needs to be an arrangement for adding workers to the inspection work station so that production targets can be met. Based on the results of the production line balancing, with the Rank Positional Weight (RPW) method, by improving the production line which previously had 5 workstations to 4 workstations. Where the path efficiency value, which was previously 47%, increased to 97%, can reduce the balance delay, which was previously 52%, decreased by 2%, can reduce the smoothness index, which was previously 103.19, decreased by 50.39, and reduce idle time, which was previously 183.42, decreased by 88.4.
