Abstract

Prolonged waiting times in weighbridge services are deemed essential and negatively influence the quality of weighbridge services. This problem is feasibly overcome by improving weighbridge services using discrete event modeling and simulation of system processes. This research is based on the weighbridge of a company in Gresik. To date, the weighbridge has been hectic serving the weighing of trucks both from within and neighboring companies. In this article, the simulation model represents the weighbridge service process implementing Rockwell Arena software. Process barriers are identified, and resource allocation adjustments are made without disrupting the existing system. An assignment arrangement for each weighbridge is proposed to reduce the average waiting time for all weighbridges through the three proposed improvement models. It was navigated that the weighbridge assignment arrangement could maintain the utility of all weighbridges in a relatively small difference to reduce the average waiting time.
