PV (Process Variabl. : relates to variables in the production process of a design or product, referring to the stages in manufacturing before the final product is realized. This basic design theory centers on the ideas of functional requirements (FR. and design parameters (DP. The engineering design process is a dynamic interaction between desired goals and the methods used to achieve them . These goals are consistently stated in the functional domain, then realized in the physical domain or real implementation. The design method is applied by connecting and integrating these two domains at each level of the design process hierarchy, as seen in Figure 1. Figure 1. Design procedure. Figure 1 of the design procedure explains how the functional requirements (FR. Domain defines the purpose or desired function of a design. Design parameters (DP. are specific areas developed to achieve optimal functional requirements.

The relationship formed is described by equation 1. Figure 1 of the design procedure explains how the Functional Requirements (FR. Domain defines the purpose or desired function of a design. Design Parameters (DP. are specific areas developed to achieve optimal functional requirements. The illustration in Figure 1 shows that the design process 182 Ika Alfiani Rokhmatul Islami. Ribangun Bamban Jakaria Repair basic condition of red brick printing machine using axiomatic design method involves mapping steps from functional requirements (FR. in the functional domain to design parameters (DP. , with the goal of producing a system, combination, product, or process that meets established standards. During this process, various designs can emerge from the development of Design Patterns (DP. to meet Functional Requirements (FR. , without being constrained by specific However, the success of the final results still depends on the thoroughness of their own The axiomatic design approach provides guidance to ensure effective consistency between Design Patterns (DP. and Functional Requirements (FR. in a design. The mapping process between different domains can be represented using a vector that describes the relationship between design goals and solutions, starting with defining a clear set of Functional Requirements (FR. in a specific FR domain, and applying the same procedure to the set of DPs . olutions from FR. placed in the DP domain. The relationship formed is described by equation 1. [A] = In the context of design matrices, there are two special cases known as diagonal matrices and triangular matrices. In a diagonal matrix, all elements Aij are equal to zero except when i is equal to j, as shown by the following form. [A] = 0 Triangular matrices are divided into two conditions, namely Upper Triangular (UT) and Lower Triangular (LT). [A] = [A] = 0 A design is considered to satisfy the first axiom in Axiomatic Design if its design matrix is either diagonal or triangular. In the case of a diagonal design matrix, each function of the design matrix (FR. is individually and independently associated with the DPs. This concept in the context of Axiomatic Design is known as uncoupled design, where the FRs can maintain their independence only if the DPs are properly arranged in the triangular design matrix. The term describing this condition is discontinuous Designs can be grouped into three categories based on the interaction between FRs and DPs. Uncoupled design or ideal design. Optimal design is achieved when the number of functional requirements (FR. is equal to the number of design parameters (DP. Each FR must fulfill a specified function and have a one-to-one correspondence with a solution in the physical domain, i. , a corresponding DP. Redundant design. If the number of DPs required for a solution in the physical domain exceeds the number of FRs, the design is considered to have redundancy. This particular design matrix considers many factors that determine which DPs can be changed or not changed. By manipulating the values of DP1 and DP4 while keeping the other DPs constant, we can effectively adjust the FR values. This adjustment can result in a connected architecture. When DP1. DP4, and DP5 are kept constant, the design turns into an uncoupled design, even under different By setting the values of DP3. DP4, and DP5, the design can turn into a related design. Meanwhile, by setting the initial values for DP1 and DP4, there is a high probability that the design will turn into an unrelated redundant design. Coupled design. ISSN 2087-3336 (Prin. | 2721-4729 (Onlin. DOI 10. 37373/tekno. Coupled Design is a natural outcome when the number of dependent variables (DP. is less than the number of independent variables (FR. A simple example can be illustrated with a designer who needs to satisfy three functional requirements but has only two design parameters. = 0 The resulting design matrix will show an inability to meet FR3 if A31 and A32 are zero, causing the design to lose its functionality.

BUMI KIRANA JAYA as a red brick entrepreneur. In addition, the machine must be able to provide a good return on investment in the long term through increased efficiency and production quality. Determination of functional requirements (FR. After determining Customer Attributes (CA. , the next step is to determine Functional Requirements (FR. that refer to the CAs. FRs are functional requirements that must be met by the red brick printing machine in order to meet customer needs. The following are the FRs that are determined. FR1: The red brick molding machine is capable of molding bricks at high speed: To meet CA1, the red brick molding machine must be designed with the ability to mold large quantities of bricks in a short time. High molding speed will significantly increase production capacity. FR2: The red brick molding machine has an ergonomic design and is easy to operate: Referring to CA2, the red brick molding machine must have an ergonomic design and an interface that is easy for workers to understand. This will ensure the ease of operation of the machine and reduce the risk of human error in the production process. FR3: The red brick molding machine produces bricks with precise and consistent dimensions: To meet CA3, the red brick molding machine must be designed with the ability to produce bricks with precise and consistent dimensions.

This will ensure the long-term durability of the machine and reduce the need for frequent maintenance. FR5: The red brick molding machine has efficient production costs: To meet CA5, the red brick molding machine must be designed with production cost efficiency in mind. This includes selecting affordable yet quality components, as well as optimizing the design to reduce manufacturing costs. Determination of Design Parameters (DP. After defining the Functional Requirements (FR. , the next step is to define the appropriate Design Parameters (DP. to meet each FR. DPs are technical solutions or design characteristics chosen to realize the defined functional requirements. The following are the defined DPs: DP1: Pneumatic system with adjustable pressure and speed: To meet FR1, a pneumatic system was chosen as the technical solution to achieve high molding speed. A pneumatic system with adjustable pressure and speed will allow precise control of the brick molding process. DP2: Ergonomic design with easy-to-reach operating levers: Referring to FR2, the red brick molding machine will be designed with ergonomic aspects in mind. The operating levers will be placed in a position that is easy for workers to reach, making it easier to operate the machine without causing excessive fatigue. DP3: Brick mold with strict dimensional tolerance: To meet FR3, the brick mold on the molding machine will be designed with strict dimensional tolerance. This will ensure that the bricks produced have precise and consistent dimensions according to the set standards. DP4: The frame of the red brick molding machine is made of carbon steel with anti-rust coating: Referring to FR4, the frame of the red brick molding machine will be made using strong and durable carbon steel.

Ribangun Bamban Jakaria Repair basic condition of red brick printing machine using axiomatic design method components with affordable prices. This will help keep production costs efficient without sacrificing the quality and performance of the machine. Mapping the relationship between FRs and DPs. After determining the Functional Requirements (FR. and Design Parameters (DP. , the next step is to map the relationship between the two using a design matrix. A design matrix is a mathematical representation that describes how each DP affects each FR. Here is a design matrix that describes the relationship between FRs and DPs: Based on the design matrix above, it can be seen that the relationship between FRs and DPs forms a diagonal matrix. This shows that each FR is only influenced by one corresponding DP, so that the design of this red brick molding tool is included in the category or ideal design. The uncoupled design has the advantage of ease of uncoupled design in setting and controlling design parameters, as well as reducing complexity in the design process. Design evaluation. After mapping the relationship between FRs and DPs in the design matrix, the next step is to evaluate the design of the red brick making machine to ensure that it satisfies the axioms in Axiomatic Design. The first axiom: independence axiom. Independence Axiom states that in an optimal design. Functional Requirements (FR. must be kept This means that each FR must be able to be fulfilled without affecting other FRs. Based on the design matrix that has been created, it can be seen that the design of this red brick printing machine meets the Independence Axiom because each FR is only affected by one corresponding DP. The diagonal design matrix shows that changes to one DP will only affect one related FR, without affecting other FRs. Second axiom: information axiom. The Information Axiom states that the best design is the one with the least information content. Information content refers to the complexity of the design and the amount of information required to meet the Functional Requirements (FR. In designing this brick molding machine, the selection of a pneumatic system (DP. , ergonomic design (DP. , tight tolerance mold (DP. , carbon steel frame (DP. , and component optimization (DP. aims to minimize design complexity and keep information content low. By keeping the design simple and using affordable yet quality components, this brick molding machine can meet the FRs with minimal information content. Based on the design evaluation using two axioms in Axiomatic Design, it can be concluded that the design of this red brick molding tool has met the optimal design criteria. This design maintains the independence of FRs and minimizes information content, so that it can produce a tool that is efficient, easy to operate, and meets customer needs. Calculation of the efficiency of the red brick printing machine. To determine the efficiency of the designed red brick molding tool, calculations are made based on the molding speed and the number of bricks produced in one hour. This calculation will provide an overview of the increase in productivity that can be achieved by using the new red brick molding tool.

BKJ can increase production efficiency by more than two times compared to the current manual printing process. This increase in efficiency will have a significant impact on the company's ability to meet the increasing market demand. Economic feasibility analysis After knowing the technical efficiency of the designed red brick printing machine, the next step is to conduct an economic feasibility analysis to assess whether the investment in the machine is financially feasible for UD. BKJ. The economic feasibility analysis will consider the initial investment cost, operating costs, revenue increase, and investment payback period. - Cost of making a red brick printing machine = Rp. 25,000,000 - Monthly operational costs . lectricity, maintenance, etc. ) = Rp. 2,000,000 - Selling price of red brick per piece = Rp. - Number of bricks produced per month with new equipment . working days, 8 hours per da. = 720 pieces/hour y 8 hours y 20 days = 115,200 pieces - Number of bricks produced per month with manual process . working days, 8 hours per da. = 333 pieces/hour y 8 hours y 20 days = 53,280 pieces - Increased monthly income - Investment return period (Payback Perio.

However, in all scenarios tested, investment in red brick molding equipment remains economically feasible with a relatively short investment payback period. However, companies ISSN 2087-3336 (Prin. | 2721-4729 (Onlin. DOI 10. 37373/tekno. need to pay attention to and anticipate changes that may occur in these key variables. Risk mitigation strategies, such as controlling operational costs, monitoring market prices, and increasing production efficiency, need to be implemented to maintain investment viability in the long term. CONCLUSION Based on the design and analysis results that have been carried out, it can be concluded that: . The red brick molding tool designed using the Axiomatic Design method is able to meet customer needs, namely efficient, easy to use, producing quality products, durable, and at an affordable price. The Axiomatic design method provides a systematic framework for producing optimal designs by meeting functional requirements and minimizing complexity. The design of this red brick molding tool is included in the uncoupled design category or ideal design because each Functional Requirement (FR) can be met independently by the corresponding Design Parameter (DP). The resulting design matrix is diagonal, indicating that changes to one DP will only affect one related FR, without affecting other FRs. This design also meets the Information Axiom by minimizing information content and keeping design complexity low. The designed red brick molding tool is able to produce 720 bricks in one hour, increasing production efficiency by up to 116. 22% compared to the manual molding process currently carried out by UD. BKJ. This increase in efficiency will have a significant impact on the company's ability to meet the increasing market demand. The economic feasibility analysis shows that the investment in this red brick molding machine is very financially feasible for UD. BKJ. With an increase in revenue of Rp 49,536,000 per month and operational costs of Rp 2,000,000 per month, the initial investment cost of Rp 25,000,000 can be returned in about 16 days. After the payback period, the company will enjoy a significant increase in profits from higher production efficiency. The sensitivity analysis shows that changes in the selling price of red bricks, operational costs, and production volume have an impact on the payback period and the company's profits. However, in all scenarios tested, the investment in the red brick molding machine remains economically feasible with a relatively short payback period. Increasing production capacity by using the new red brick molding machine will also allow UD. BKJ to expand its market share and increase its competitiveness in the red brick industry. being able to meet greater demand and maintain consistent product quality, the company can strengthen its position in the market and better face competition.
