Continuous process improvement is a constant preoccupation of companies operating in strong competitive markets (Thawani, 2002; Cronemyr, 2007). The goal of process improvement projects is about increasing both efficiency and effectiveness of the business system (Brad, 2008). A widely used methodology for process improvement is Six Sigma DMAIC (Cascini et al., 2008; Hamza, 2008). Some researche...

This paper will explore the fundamental relationships between Six Sigma and simulation. A basic overview of Six Sigma includes: 1. Six Sigma philosophy, 2. Basic tools, 3. Theory of Variation, 4. SPC, 5. Process capability, 6. Six Sigma infrastructure, and 7. DMAIC and DFSS processes. Simulation will be applied to the appropriate areas of the overview. Improvement in the robustness of the Six S...

Many industries have successfully implemented the define-measure-analyze-improve-control (DMAIC) method of Lean Six Sigma to improve their production activities. Value stream mapping (VSM) for Industry 4.0 allows us understand current state operations in order plan future improvements. In this study, we propose an improvement model based on DMAIC with VSM a truck cooler manufacturer picking wor...

This research addresses and analyzes the results of a six-sigma approach used to optimize logistics costs pipe manufacturing company. Two mathematical models are developed for containers control company’s logistics. The Mathematical Programming Language (MPL) software is generate solve these models. verify that proposed result in improvement, especially DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve,...

Production quality is one of the factors that can be a source company excellence to achieve efficiency and effectiveness in running its business. Good production increase competitiveness consumer confidence, so profits also increase. PT ABC companies engaged processing hazardous (B3) waste. The problems faced by percentage defects base oil products which still quite high at 57.79%, improvements...

Quality is a factor to increase the competitiveness of product. By increasing quality, production costs will be reduced, thus it eventually reduce waste. The failure product can caused by availability raw materials, machines, equipment, human resources, and environmental factors during process. control method used keep needed market within controlled limits. This study aims determine quality Te...

OBJECTIVE Patient identification (ID) bands are an essential component in patient ID. Quality improvement methodology has been applied as a model to reduce ID band errors although previous studies have not addressed standardization of ID bands. Our specific aim was to decrease ID band errors by 50% in a 12-month period. METHODS The Six Sigma DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, and contr...

A lean production system is one of the main factors that every company must have to improve quality, especially reducing waste occurs in line. The musical instrument industry such as Piano manufacturing includes industries reduce by improving system. company’s strategy eliminate this create an effective and efficient work piano process still has several problems, presence waste. This obstacle q...

Persaingan industri manufaktur di Indonesia semakin ketat, sehingga mendorong untuk berlomba-lomba meningkatkan kualitas produknya. PT. Jawa Metalindo Prima adalah salah satu yang memproduksi stud bolt, dimana masih sering ditemukan kecacatan dalam proses produksinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengimplementasikan metode Six Sigma pada produksi bolt guna meminimalisir produk dan kepuasan pelangga...
