The company has a problem of quality bonding shoes which did not meet the company target in the The bonding test result percentage of finished shoes in the year 2017 is 78. The objective of the company is 98%. Currently, process monitoring of the quality control systemAos only focused on some department, not for the whole department. The company used the PDCA (Plan. Do. Check. Actio. cycle method to solve the bonding problem (Mukherjee, 2. Quality control can be done using the concept of the PDCA cycle, which was introduced by Dr. Edwards Deming, an expert in quality Therefore, it is known as the cycle of Deming (Deming, 1. PDCA cycle is a process for continuous improvement, has no beginning or end (Agrawal, 2019. La Verde et al. , 2019. Herjanto, 2. Revised: January 29, 2019 Accepted: February 11, 2019 The quality of the bonding is determined by the results of the work of the entire The process is starting from the design phase up to the assembly process. Therefore, researchers applying the quality control circle method for solving bonding Some references of journals that discussed for improving the quality product using the PDCA Sari et al. with research using methods a cementing process stock for fitting bottom shoes running utilizing the technique of PDCA in each process and then analyze the test results with adapting the bonding quality control Another method that can be used to identify the problem, eliminate or reduce potential failure, or reject a product is FMEA (Kholil & Prasetyo, 2. Therefore authors choose methods of QCC (Quality Control Circl. (Nemer & Vieria, 2018. Xia et al. , 2. to improve the quality of bonding shoes desired by the company. This research aims to find out the root cause of the bonding shoe failure and how to Beatrix & N. E Triana. Improvement Bonding Quality of Shoe using Quality Control Circle SINERGI Vol. No. June 2019: 123-131 monitor the quality of the bonding shoes in daily MATERIAL AND METHOD Material According to Wignjosoebroto . Quality Control Circle is a small group of employees, sometimes lead by a supervisor who will voluntarily find ways to improve the quality and reduce production costs in the production According to Ishikawa . Quality Control Circle is a small working group that voluntarily works to carry out quality control The positive thing that will also grow along with the development of QCC activities is the creation of a very supportive work atmosphere and encourages employees to explore their creativity and potential continually. It is given that the purpose of this QCC is to optimize assets owned by companies/institutions, especially skills development and the workers themselves better and respect human values and create a conducive workplace, to improve quality in the broad sense and growth of the company. Besides, the application of the QCC is also a tangible form of involvement of all parties. In this case, those who are in lower management, the improvement and development of companies/organizations. The goals to be achieved through QCC activities include: reducing work mistakes and improving quality, improving better cooperation, and increasing employee awareness in carrying out their duties. Besides, training employee skills in solving problems they face, instilling awareness about the importance of prevention from the beginning, developing a more harmonious and communicative relationship between the manager and his employees, encouraging personal development and leadership. This goal was caused by ignorance and lack of management knowledge identifying problems, how to find out the root cause, and how to improve the bonding quality problems that occur. The manufacturer's perspective and the perspective of customers will be met on the use of customer . itness for customer us. , so the suitability between customers with customers that can result in a mutually agreed standard and can meet needs and expectations of both sides (Maysaroh & Husein, 2.
