Nowadays, customers are well aware of quality and they purchase only quality products. Thanks to globalization! In order to achieve highest quality products, companies need to adapt the latest and advanced technologies in their industries. Failure to adapt these new trends would lead to less profit and or huge loss and eventually shutdown of their business to its competitors. A case study on discrete manufacturing company was conducted to analyze the above phenomenon. The selected case study company is pioneer in manufacturing plastic injection moulding machines in India. Several lean tools and techniques are implemented to eliminate its unwanted waste in their production line. All these aid to development of optimum facility layout, good workplace, ergonomic designed work cells for operators, improvement in productivity of the operator (by 28%), to name a few. By achieving all these, the overall product (plastic injection moulding machine) quality is improved by 23%.

Syarikat mesti berusaha untuk meningkatkan kualiti dan produktiviti produk atau proses untuk maju bersaing. Sebahagian daripada tujuh alatan asas kawalan kualiti merupakan suatu teknik yang sangat berkesan untuk mencapai objektif tersebut. Kajian kes yang telah dijalankan di syarikat "plastic injection moulding" tempatan telah mengaplikasikan sebahagian daripada tujuh alatan kawalan kualiti dan keputusan menunjukkan purata bulanan kualiti kecacatan produk menurun dari 13.49% ke 7.4%. Untuk mencapai kejayaan seterusnya dalam mempertingkatkan kualiti produk, sokongan daripada pihak atasan syarikat amatlah diperlukan. Kata kekunci: Kawalan Kualiti Berstatistik; "Plastic Injection Moulding"; carta kawalan In order to survive in a competitive market, improving quality and productivity of product or process is a must for any company. Some simple techniques like the "seven basic quality control (QC) tools" provide a very valuable and cost effective way to meet these objectives. This paper presents a case study in which a local plastic injection moulding company deployed some part of the "seven basic quality control (QC) tools" to significantly improved the monthly defect quality from 13.49% to 7.4%. However, to make them successful as cost effective and problem solving tools, strong commitment from top management is required.
