The Improvement of Rice Packaging Process for Steps and Number of Wastage Reducing Caused by Transporting Rice Package on a Conveyor Belt

Abstract

           The study on improving the rice bag packaging process to reduce the steps and the number of wasted bags resulting from the transfer of rice bags on the conveyor belt. To enhance the efficiency of industrial factories, besides focusing on raw materials and machinery, the key to advancing industrial factories lies in continuously developing technology. Currently, there are factories that utilize technology to assist in production system management, emphasizing machine work over human resources. This not only helps in achieving production targets and quantities more efficiently but also reduces production costs, shortens production time, maximizes space utilization, reduces waiting time, minimizes resource usage, decreases waste generated at each step, and enhances various management systems. In the process of improving the rice bag transfer process on the conveyor belt, bag wastage occurs during production. Therefore, it is necessary to study every step in the flow process of rice bags on the conveyor belt, including the movement of rice bags from one point to another. Thus, it is essential to rely on designing a warehouse layout plan and implementing the 7 types of waste reduction techniques to enhance production process efficiency. Waste can occur at every step or in every work behavior, and the principles of reducing the 7 types of waste can identify weaknesses in the production process and improve various management systems.
