Abstract:
To maintain market share, the company guarantees high quality for the products
offered to consumers. Master cylinder 2DP is one of the products produced at PT
CHN and is one of the products with the highest production volume, but there are
also many defects found for this product. In 2023, the total defect ratio of this
product is 4.7 percents with the total number of defects is 53,430 pcs of 1,137872
products. To existing this problem, conduct the analyze using DMAIC Method.
DMAIC method was chosen because it provides a systematic and data-driven
approach to identify problems, analyze the root causes, and implement effective
improvements. Pareto diagram is used to determine the highest defect ratio. G-31
defect is the most common type defect found in M/C 2DP production process with
the number of defects is 30 percents. SPC calculation is used to assist this research
in statistical calculation with P chart attributes. Fish-bone diagram is used to
analysis the cause and effect for this problem. Lack skill of new operators (man)
and lowering the thickness of core (machine) is main cause that caused this defect.
To overcome these problems, improvements were made by standardizing the re-
coating process on the core (mold). The trial stage (improvement phase) is already
running in five days production. There was a defect reduction from previously 4.7
percent to 3 percent. There was an increase in the sigma value from 3 to 4 after the
improvements phase was implemented. If the continuous monitoring is carried out
in the long term, the reduction defect will be even more specific (significant) and
get the better sigma value.
