Reducing Cost of Setup Printing Machine

A Case Study of Sticker Roll Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze any practice that can reduce cost of production for producing sticker roll. According to this study, there is many wastes during adjusting a sticker printer causing more cost of production. Method study is based for this thesis beginning with collecting data about working process and amount of waste in each process following by exploring any substitute material that can reduce more cost of production and exploring the way to recycle the waste. After collecting all of data, the problem of this thesis is resolved by converting substitute material, lower-quality paper, during adjusting process and saving higher-quality paper only for real work to reduce cost of production. The result of this study shows that waste in adjusting process is cheaper causing less cost of production around 24,090 baht or 57.25 percent per time to adjust sticker printer. Due to the result, applying low-quality material during adjusting process for producing sticker roll instead of prior material can reduce cost of production and this is sustainable resolution which can apply repeatedly.
