Quality is one of the key success factors to achieve competitive advantage. When companies succeeded to improve quality of the service or product given, they will have the possibility to increase their market share and eventually their profit. One of the methods to increase quality is by doing six sigma analysis that focuses on the cause of the problem. The research is done in PT Cemara Agung, one of textile industries in Indonesia. Research method used is descriptive study. Literature study, observations, and interviews has been done in order to search root cause and generate recommendations. The analysis shows that almost fifty percent of the main cause in defect products is happened to the weaving department, which then cause the profit of the company decreased as an impact of the spoilage produced. By doing six sigma analysis and finding recommendations to resolve the problems, the company is expected to be able to reduce the quality cost, increase the quality and eventually increase the profit of the company.

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is an effective methodology that aims to maximize shareholder value by improving quality, efficiency, customer satisfaction and costs. Continuous integration is the software engineering practice of rapid and automated development and testing. A case study presented in this paper demonstrates how LSS tools help software R&D teams to improve product quality and reduce development cost. The define, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC) methodology is applied to develop an action plan to achieve continuous integration at an anonymous software R&D organization's LSS Green Belt project. The LSS implementation has had a significant impact on the financial performance of the organization. It is showed that the package continuous integration (PCI) success ratio (3 months average) increased from 27% to 74%, meanwhile an operational saving of approximately 56.87K Euro was reported from this project. Finally, some key success factors that are critical to the implementation of an effective Green Belt program are examined, and managerial implications are provided.
