ANALISIS KINERJA OPERASIONAL DAN KELAYAKAN PENAMBAHAN FASILITAS MATERIAL HANDLING PADA PROSES LOADING PRODUK PARAFORMALDEHYDE (STUDI KASUS: DIVISI WAREHOUSE, PT. DOVER CHEMICAL)NIM.: 22106060049Bilqis Ayu BinurilauthorThe increase in demand for paraformaldehyde products at PT Dover Chemical has led to a rise in the number of trucks entering the loading area, resulting in queues and relatively long wait times. These conditions indicate limitations in the capacity of the material handling facilities to support the smooth flow of the distribution process. This study aims to analyze the operational performance of the loading system and evaluate the feasibility of investing in additional material handling facilities to increase service capacity and reduce vehicle wait times. The methods employed include forecasting using linear regression to predict the number of truck arrivals and discrete event simulation (DES) using FlexSim software to analyze existing conditions and proposed improvement scenarios. Additionally, an investment feasibility analysis was conducted using the Net Present Value (NPV), Annual Equivalent (AE), Payback Period (PP), and Return on Investment (ROI) methods. The research results show that the number of trucks increases from 30 trucks/day in 2026 to 43 trucks/day in 2033. Under existing conditions, the loading system can only serve 15 trucks. After adding facilities specifically 2 s and 2 s service capacity increases to 30 trucks/day. To meet service needs for 2027–2033, the fleet was expanded to include 3 s and 3 s. The investment analysis results show an NPV of Rp5,855,011,140 and Rp11,710,394,592, an AE of Rp896,764,392/year and Rp1,793,585,808/year, a payback period of 8 months, and an ROI of 1,190%, thereby deeming the investment feasible.670 Teknik Industri2026-05-26UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS SAINS DAN TEKNOLOGIThesis
