Analysis of textile dye production scheduling using FCFS, CDS and Heuristic Pour methods

Abstract

PT. X is a company engaged in the chemical industry that produces various types of textile dyes for several garment companies in Indonesia and abroad. The manufacture of various dye textiles has a different processing time because it is influenced by the quality and parameters of each product. The production scheduling system used by the company is First Come First Served (FCFS). Companies often experience delays in the timely delivery of orders due to the production scheduling system that is used by the company was not optimal. This research was conducted to schedule a sequence of textile dye processing in PT. X by using the FCFS, Campbell Dudek Smith (CDS) and Heuristic Pour to get shorter makespan and minimize delivery delays. The results of research at PT.X showed that the scheduling method which had the fastest makespan was the Heuristic Pour scheduling method with a total makespan of 562.4 hours (23 days) and could save time by 47.96 hours or 7.86% compared to the FCFS method.
