Analysis of The Effect of Machine Painting on The Number of Machines Certified as Green Line at Testing Area

Abstract

Abstract—PT Infineon Technologies is a German semiconductor company established in April 1999 after Siemens AG, its parent company, was divided to establish new companies, one of which is in Batam. PT Infineon Technologies Batam (IFBT) makes Integrated Circuit (IC) electronic components. The four main areas of Infineon's IC production process are FOL, EOL, Test, and MSP. When Infineon implemented the Green Line concept, launched in 2012, to achieve a stable and controlled manufacturing process, the company's performance improved significantly and the company successfully achieved operational targets such as efficiency, productivity, and quality. In the Green Line concept, four M's were established: People, Machines, Methods, and Materials. To ensure that these standards are applied in the production field, a Man and Machine certification process is conducted. Although the name refers to Machines, other factors such as Man, Method, and Materials are also included in the assessment criteria during the certification process. Once the machine is deemed to meet all the set criteria, the certification process is considered complete and the machine is marked with a sticker indicating its status. This research will study how the condition of paint on engine covers impacts the success of the Green Line engine certification process. The goal of this project is to address the issues found regarding the paint condition on the engine covers so that the number of engines that successfully obtain Green Line certification reaches the set target. The benefits of this research include reducing the failure rate during the machine certification process, achieving the targeted number of certifications, and achieving the targeted number of Green Line machine certifications improving machine condition and ensuring the workplace is clean, sanitary, and easy to use. This research is also expected to improve employee morale, foster trust and confidence with superiors and management, and receive positive feedback from stakeholders such as customers, visitors, and auditors entering the production hall. Using Handler and Tester as objects and using the existing machine database, this research will focus on the Test Area as the research location.
