Abstract
This thesis presents a comprehensive framework for improving productivity in the electronic product manufacturing industry, with a focus on a specific Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production line of a company in the northern area of Malaysia. The main objective is to enhance efficiency and effectiveness by utilizing data-driven decision-making and advanced simulation modeling with the collected data. The framework integrates real-time data collection, analysis, and visualization with dynamic simulation models to identify bottlenecks, optimize production flows, and assess the impact of potential improvement strategies. The research findings are validated through a real-world case study, demonstrating significant productivity improvements, including optimized production scheduling, reduced cycle times, and increased throughput. Overall, the thesis contributes valuable insights for decision-makers to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and meet customer demands in the highly competitive electronic product manufacturing market.
