Abstract

Garlic is one of the most useful and popular types of onions in Indonesia. It has many benefits in
daily life. In Indonesia, especially in West Sumatra, garlic is most commonly used as a cooking spice
in traditional restaurants. Restaurants in West Sumatra typically require peeled garlic since they
lack the time to peel large quantities for cooking. This situation creates an opportunity for household
industries to supply peeled garlic in large amounts. One of the household industries producing
peeled garlic in West Sumatra, particularly in Padang, is Usaha Kelas Menengah (UKM) Ulak
Karang. This business carries out the garlic peeling process using two methods: manual peeling and
machine-assisted peeling. Based on observations using a man and machine process chart, the main
issue faced by UKM Ulak Karang is setup time. The machine is utilized only 15% of the time, while
idle time reaches 85%. Workers spend 76% of their time on setup, 15% on idle time, and 9% on
allowances. The setup time in the garlic peeling process significantly affects daily production output.
Reducing setup time can accelerate the process, allowing production targets to be met. Additionally,
increasing the daily volume of peeled garlic leads to higher income for UKM Ulak Karang. To
address this issue, the Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) method was applied directly to
workers at UKM Ulak Karang. As a result, setup time was reduced by 58.29%, and production output
increased by 71.55%
