Analysis of the Effectiveness of Bagging Machines in Increasing Chicken Feed Production Capacity in the Bagging Off Process

The bagging machine is an essential component in the chicken feed production process. This machine functions to package livestock feed into bags with weights that meet specified standards. The machine can automatically weigh, fill, and seal feed bags with high speed and accuracy. This research aims to evaluate the performance of bagging machines in chicken feed production, focusing on increasing production capacity, reducing operational costs, and improving the quality of the final product. The study results indicate that using an automatic bagging machine significantly increases production capacity by up to 25% compared to previous manual methods, and operational costs decrease by 15% due to reduced downtime and improved labor efficiency. To determine the overall effectiveness of the machine, a calculation method is required to obtain values of availability, performance efficiency, and rate of quality, leading to solutions for optimizing the machine's effectiveness through proposing a more efficient layout. The results obtained after making changes are expected to increase production capacity to the optimal limit that the machine can produce.
