Keywords : Defective products. DMAIC. FMEA Introduction Currently, the world is increasingly competitive in meeting the needs of diverse consumers, companies must take strategic steps in managing their business. Product quality has a significant effect on a company's performance. Quality products are products that can meet buyers' needs . Therefore, currently many companies are competing to innovate to attract consumer attention. Innovation is important for consumers because it creates differences between one product and another . However, the next most important thing is quality. Quality products are the most important key to achieving excellence in market competition and will ultimately increase consumer satisfaction. Each product definitely has superior quality and advantages compared to other products . According to . Product quality is the product's ability to produce results that meet or exceed consumer expectations. Part of consumers consider product quality as the main factor in their purchasing decisions. Product quality degradation often occurs during the production process, which can have a negative impact on the final product quality. According to . To reduce product damage, the right strategy is needed so that product quality is maintained . Therefore, a process called quality control is needed. From the problems above, researchers carried out quality control at CV. Wisdom Jaya Konveksi uses the Six Sigma method and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). According to . Six Sigma is a quality control method that is often used, which is defined as an approach to improving quality and customer service which aims to achieve customer satisfaction. The Six Sigma concept is carried out according to DMAIC (Define. Measure. Improve and Contro. The advantage of the Six Sigma method is its focus on financial results that can be measured at the HM.

This method helps analyze the root causes of product defects and presents suggestions for improvements in quality control. According to . FMEA is a methodology used to evaluate failures occurring in a system, design, process, or service . Potential failure identification is carried out by assigning a value or score to each failure mode based on the occurrence level, severity level and detection level . These three factors are used to calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN) value which helps determine priorities for corrective action plans. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) analysis is carried out at the Improve stage of the Six Sigma methodology. The application of the FMEA concept at the Improve stage aims to produce structured improvement recommendations in the quality improvement plan, especially for dealing with defective products . Method According to . , in Six Sigma there is a Define. Measure. Analyze. Improve. Control (DMAIC) stage , which is a stage used to measure the implementation of Six Sigma and aims to improve continuously so as to achieve the Six Sigma target . DMAIC starts from the Define (Identificatio. Measure (Measuremen. Analyze (Analysi. Improve (Improvemen. Control (Contro. The following are the stages of DMAIC, namely: Define Stage The first step in the Six Sigma approach , namely Define , focuses on identifying critical problems at the ongoing stage. This stage also determines what is called Critical To Quality (CTQ) and makes observations on the production flow from the Supplier. Input. Process. Output. Customer (SIPOC) diagram. Measure Stage The aim of this stage is to prove the problem from existing data. To measure the problem, the Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO) calculation stage can be carried out to evaluate the company's current performance. Calculating the DPMO and sigma value is carried out according to the Critical To Quality (CTQ) determination . Analyze Stage Has the function of providing priority input on efforts to overcome the root causes of problems, showing the impact of failed processes and final products to consumers, as well as explaining the causes of process failures to the root causes of problems and providing input for improvisation Improve Stage Make various efforts to eliminate all causes of product defects and process failures. Control Stage Has the function to supervise the implementation of improvement plans that have been created and planned . According to . Failure Mode And Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a structured procedure for identifying and preventing as many failure modes as possible, known as failure mode and effect analysis. Following are several steps for completing Failure Mode And Effect Analysis (FMEA), namely: Identify products and processes Make notes about possible problems that arise, their impact, and the factors that cause them Assess the level of severity ( Severity ), probability of occurrence ( Occurrence ), and detection capabilities ( Detection ) Calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN), from the formula of multiplying the Severity. Occurrence and Detection values . FMEA is used to analyze services before they reach To calculate the RPN ( Risk Priority Number ) value for a process, initial knowledge of the value is required Severity. Occurrence, and Detection first. Results and Discussion 88 Journal of Applied Sciences. Management and Engineering Technology. Vol 5. No 2, 2024: 86Ae95 Define Stage In the uniform production process, results will be obtained from the process which will later influence the number of rejections that arise from several defects in the production process. Determination of CTQ in uniform production will focus on the production process. Data collected to create CTQ ( Critical To Quality ) obtained through interviews with management and information from customers . The following is the CTQ created and summarized by CV. Wisdom of Jaya Konveksi, see Table 1: Table 1 CTQ from the uniform production process No. CTQ Uniforms Jump Stitch Creasing Seams Oblique Stitching Jump Stitch Skipping stitches occur because the operator is not careful, lacks focus, is tired and See Figure 1. Figure 1 Skip-stitched uniforms Creasing Seams Shrinking stitches can occur due to lack of machine maintenance . ewing machine performance is less than optimal, the machine stalls or die. See Figure 2. Figure 2 Puckered Seam Uniform Clothing HM. Quality Control Analysis Using The Six Sigma Approach And Failure Mode And Effect Analysis (Fme.

Figure 3 Oblique Seam Uniform Measure Stage The measure stage is one of the operational steps in improving quality using the Six Sigma In the measure stage , control chart analysis will be carried out as well as calculations of DPMO and sigma values. See Figure 4. P- Chart Figure 4 Uniform Production Control Map Based on the calculated P- Chart results , it can be seen that the data obtained from the CL. UCL and LCL calculations is proven to have no data that exceeds the upper and lower limits. So it can be concluded that the data is in accordance with the control limits.

It can be explained that the probability of damage is 5106 . 0 for a million production. This shows that the DPMO pattern and sigma achievement are not yet consistent, which shows that the production pattern has not been managed properly and still needs improvement Analyze Stage At this analysis stage , each source of the problem will be explored to find a solution down to the root. Therefore, analysis is needed to produce appropriate alternative solutions in accordance with the goals set by Six Sigma . In completing this analysis stage . Pareto and fishbone diagrams are used . Pareto Chart The analysis carried out is to find out the biggest potential CTQ that influences the level of product defects. To find out this, you can use the Pareto diagram. Table 3 Pareto Diagram Analysis Results No. Type of Defect Skip Stitches Creasing Seams Oblique Stitching Total Number of Defects(Unit. Defect Percentage (%) Cumulative Percentage (%) From the Table 3, it will then be applied in the form of a Pareto diagram as follows: Figure 5 Pareto Diagram for Uniform Clothing Products Based on Figure 5 the Pareto diagram, it can be seen that of the three levels of product defects in uniforms, the highest is product defects in skip stitching.

Improve level At the improve stage , improvement proposals are made to minimize defects that occur in each process using the FMEA ( Failure Mode And Effect Analysis ) method. FMEA is used to improve product and process quality performance. In the FMEA table, a value or score is assigned to each failure mode based on the occurrence level , severity level and detection level From the results of scoring, the Risk Priority Number (RPN) will be known which is produced by multiplying the occurrence, severity and detection levels for each cause .
