The objective of this research was to increase the production capacity of the inspection machine's brush holder base components to meet the rise of customer demand from 100,000 to 110,000 pieces per month. The study began with examining the machine's operation, creating a Value Stream Map, and analyzing the waste occurred, primarily identifying waste from motion loss, process loss due to unsuitable sequence of working, and waiting loss. After applying the ECRS principles, particularly Elimination and Rearrangement to improve the workflow, the research found that the total number of steps in the inspection machine's operation could be reduced from 17 to 14 steps (a 17.65% reduction) and the total time for one cycle could be reduced from 20 seconds to 15.45 seconds (a 22.75% reduction). This resulted in an increase in production capacity from 95,040 pieces per month to 123,029 pieces per month (a 29.45% increase), successfully achieving the objectives towards the customer demands of 110,000 pieces per month.
