MDS influenced by demand of products, stock products, a number of production, downtime of machine cause of change over time, the order of production scheduling, transportation delay between machines, and working time of machine. A Critical ratio method, the next grouping of products, and re-sequencing of production process with Shortest Processing Time method is the right method in response to a scheduling problem in PT.

A Critical ratio method is useful to sort the product type, while the grouping of products and the Shortest Processing Time method useful to maximize the use of equipments as well as reducing of idle time. The results showed a decreased machine utilization of 64% to 60% and downtime of machine decreased to 5%.
