Strict industrial competition in particular
Battery manufacturing is always competing to improve
the quality of a product and reduce as much as possible
reject claim market. So this research will focus on this
key action improvement by using DMAIC approach
method which has been known as the most effective
problem solving method and has been widely used by
many previous research. The research design used is
explorative quantitative type focusing on 4M analysis to
find the cause of the problem and find the solution.
Starting with step 1: Define, through the collection of
data sampling month of Jan-Dec 2016 known that reject
claim of Plate bent is 41 PPM Step 2: Measure,
Processing data reject and the amount of claim reject
and set the target that will do the improvement 3:
Analyze , benchmarking against type cassette A and
Cassette B from FTA analysis Step 4: Improve, define
and standardize Cassette Type cassette B dimensional
changes by changing the partition edge L and edge R
from C3mm to R4mm from Cp = 1.58, Cpk = 0.63 to Cp
2.32 and Cpk 2.23. Step 5: Control, After getting the
dimension set value 29.5 PPM down to 4 PPM with
target standard 18 PPM and decrease to company cost
savings of 455.5 KUSD / Year.
