Abstract:
This study intends to examine the effect of standardization of mechanical worker competence on company operational excellence through worker productivity and production unit productivity at PT CiptaKridatama Site Mifa (PT. Mifa) located in Meulaboh City, Aceh Barat, Indonesia. The population of this research was all employees of PT. Mifa, amounting to 802 people. The number of sample in this research was 267 people who were determined using the Slovin formula which was taken based on the work unit. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of the Amos application. Research results prove that that in PT. Mifa, competency standardization of mechanical workers, company operational excellence, worker productivity and production unit productivity are good; there is an effect of competency standardization of mechanical workers on worker productivity; there is an effect of competency standardization of mechanical workers on the production unit productivity; there is an effect of worker productivity on operational excellence; there is an effect of the production unit productivity on operational excellence; there is an effect of competency standardization of mechanical workers on operational excellence; there is an effect of competency standardization of mechanical workers on operational excellence through worker productivity, and ; there is an effect of competency standardization of mechanical workers on operational excellence through production unit productivity. This research model also reveals that worker productivity and production unit productivity can be as a partial mediation so that PT. Mifa achieves operational excellence. It can be said that by increasing competency standards, it will have an impact on the achievement of operational excellence either directly or through the mediation of worker productivity and productivity of production units. All these findings reveal that this research model can be implemented in the research object, namely PT. Mifa to achieve its operational excellence. For future research, researchers are currently encouraging that this tested model can be further developed by adding other variables such as workload and work stress which are closely related to the achievement of company operational excellence
