Description
Summary:In this study the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control) technique is applied at a company producing window tint film forming and cutting in Malaysia. It is a company initiative for continuous improvement. The study's goal is to reduce the number of faults during the film cutting process, which has a significant impact on the company's overall profit margin and also affects production lead time. The research looks at the cutting process production line with the greatest defect rate. Quality Control (QC) methods such as brainstorming, process mapping, fish bone diagram, Pareto chart, and FMEA were used in the study. At the analysis stage, the key contributors to the defect problems can be identified, and action or solutions can be implemented. The study demonstrates that the DMAIC process is a successful approach for resolving what appears to be a huge problem with simple approaches. DMAIC has the ability to provide high returns to the company if implemented appropriately and effectively.
