| Summary: | Advancing into Industry 4.0, system is set up for the communication in the shop
floor of the manufacturing industry. At current stage, the fact that involvement of human
power in the production environment is a must could not be denied. That is why the talent
of the human power shall be managed systematically to increase the efficiency. This paper
involves a case study conducted in a company of the healthcare industry. It only includes
operators from the shop floor. The objective of this case study is to develop a systematic
framework to digitalize operator skill competency by developing a database management
system. It is also significant to facilitate capacity planning by using the database
management system developed as a ‘searching tool’. Apart from that, acquiring insights
into operator competency through data mining tool shall not be neglected. This paper
involves a comprehensive development scheme of a relational database to structurally store
operator skill levels for different production stages. Specifically, the production flow, steps
and categorization of skills were formally defined and linked. Interfaces were constructed
for input of information as well as result presentation, fitting to the needs of the company
in decision-making. The main finding of this paper is utilization of the developed database
management system to digitalize the operator skill competency and perform capacity
planning. As human power in the production are considerably notable in a manufacturing�based company, the systematic planning of operator appointment would optimize the
operation of the shop floor. The practical contribution to the company is that the database
management system is readily used by related personnel in capacity planning of the
operators. The limitation of this database management system is some desired presentation
method of information cannot be achieved. As this database management system is limited
to the shop floor operators, the competency of every worker from the company could be
included in the future to further improve this database management system. |
