This study aims to analyze the product failure
of the type of pin post insulator product, as well as to
find the main cause and to propose improvements at PT
XYZ using the Six Sigma method. This research was
conducted only in parts of the production process that
have a high failure rate such as in natural
dryingsections. This study uses a Six Sigma methodology
approach with tools such as Fishbone diagrams and
Pareto diagrams. This research is a quantitative
descriptive exploratory method. The results of this study
were the type of cracked lip crack caused by the vaccum
is unstable in finishing section, with the improvement of
cleaning the vaccum duct and routine maintenance
vaccum duct in finishing machine. For the type of
cracked middle skirt crack caused by the auger on
pugmill machine being worn, between the dimensions of
Honggote (HG) in the forming and Sita in finishing are
not matching, with corrective actions: repairing pugmill
machine, vaccum duct in finishing section, repairing sita
so that HG and sita are matched and conducting routine
test and periodic maintenance. The conclusion of this
research is that quality control using the six sigma
method can reduce the rejection level and increase the
six sigma level.
