The influence of material inventory and preventive machine maintenance on the efficiency of production: The case of the emerging economy

Abstract

Nowadays, development in the industrial sector is increasing and directed to become the driving force of efficient, competitive, and strong economy with advanced production patterns. Production is expected to develop from goods relying on productive labors with abundant natural resources into high-quality products having a competitive price. Further, it applies appropriate techniques in implementing the working plan in order to achieve the goals set by the organization or company. All enterprises, large, medium, or small, have one main goal that is continuity. Therefore, they expect their goods and services to be received by the consumers. One of the activities in production management is the production process. It needs to consider basic materials supplies and preventive maintenance of the machines used in the process. It is expected to result in the efficiency in the production to ensure continuity. The research applies descriptive and verification analysis methods. Descriptive analysis is used to describe and explain the data, while verification to see the correlation among the variables using the census sampling technique.
