Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the application of galvanized steel to replace the SPCC steel sheet in the fuel dispenser machine production in order to reduce problems in preparing the surface for painting process.  The study comprises the comparisons of 3 aspects incurred in the process: manufacturing steps, process time, and costs.

From the test of galvanized steel used in the manufacturing of the new fuel dispensers, it was found that the prototype passed the company’s quality control standard.  When comparing the steps and the time spent in the process for surface preparation and forming, the production steps were able to reduce from 11 to 7 with a time saved of 2.237 minutes per piece. The total costs in the preparation of the surface can then be reduced from the original 216,250.85 baht per year to 159,852.35 baht per year, or 26.08%.
