Abstract
Purpose: This project aims to increase the efficiency of the coffee bean processing process through lean techniques. Design/methodology/approach: Lean technique by analyzing and recommending ways to optimize the production process according to the study of Flow Process Chart to use Motion and Time Study analysis and evaluate process efficiency with Value Stream Mapping (VSM), then analyze the problem or waste condition. Including improving work with the ECRS principle and compare the results of improving the production process. Findings: The results of the research were able to improve non-value-added but necessary operations in the production process in 3 steps, resulting in a 10.02% increase in value-generating activities, including a reduction in time by 1.79 minutes, representing 13.57%. The distance was reduced by 2,190.25 meters, representing 96.31%, resulting in an increase in the efficiency of the coffee bean processing process Research limitations/implications (if applicable): Practical implications (if applicable): Originality/value: This project can be implemented in other production line to improve the efficiency of the processing due to the reduction of non-value added operation using Lean technique.
