PT. Supreme Cable Manufacturing &
Commerce Tbk, (PT. SUCACO) is a national company
that is diverse in manufacturing that produces various
types of cables, one of which is STEL K-015 Cable. The
problem that occurs is when there is a defect when
making the product. because at the time of production at
PT. Supreme Cable Manufacturing & Commerce Tbk
there are still products that do not meet the prescribed
standards. This situation can result in increased
production costs and a decrease in product quality which
ultimately reduces profits for the company. In the process
of making the product defects during October 2018 -
March 2019 To improve quality, researchers use the six
sigma method which consists of five stages. This stage is
known as DMAIC which stands for the abbreviation
stands for each stage, namely define, measure, analyze,
improve, and control. Admittedly, there are 4 types of
defects based on data processing, namely the type of
leather defect, rough cable with a percentage of 14%,
imperfect printing, percentage of 19%, loose buffer iron
40% and fiber breaking with a percentage of 27%. Then
for the sigma value in the product production process, it
is calculated to be 4 during that period. Based on the
calculation table of FMEA Part Wire Metal Connector on
the outer sheath machine that does not work optimally, it
is the cause of product defects with the highest RPN
value. Based on the research that has been done, it can be
concluded that the type of iron buffer defect which is the
dominant defect with a percentage of 40%. While the
factors that cause defect are 4 factors, namely human,
machine, material and method. Then the proposed
improvements that can be given are the leading machine
checks on the outer sheath engine, more regularly
carrying out machine maintenance regularly, providing
training to workers to improve work skills.
