PurposeThe main purpose of this paper is to select appropriate voltage vectors in the switching techniques and, by selecting the proper voltage vectors, be able to achieve a DC link with the same outputs and a symmetric multi-level inverter. Design/methodology/approachThe proposed structure, a two-stage DC–AC symmetric multi-level inverter with modified Model Predictive Control (MMPC) method, is presented for Photovoltaic (PV) applications. The voltage of DC-link capacitors of the boost converter is controlled by MMPC control method to select appropriate switching vectors for the multi-level inverter. The proposed structure is provided for single-phase power system, which increases 65 V input voltage to 220 V/50 Hz output voltage, with 400 V DC link. Simulation results of proposed structure with MMPC method are carried out by PSCAD/EMTDC software. FindingsBased on the proposed structure and control method, total harmonic distortion (THD) reduces, which leads to lower power losses and higher circuit reliability. In addition, reducing the number of active switches in current path causes to lower voltage stress on the switches, lower PV leakage current and higher overall efficiency. Originality/valueIn the proposed structure, a new control method is presented that can make a symmetric five-level voltage with lower THD by selecting proper switching for PV applications.

Quality control becomes an important key for companies in suppressing the number of defective produced products. Six Sigma is a quality control method that aims to minimize defective products to the lowest point or achieve operational performance with a sigma value of 6 with only yielding 3.4 defective products of 1 million product. Stages of Six Sigma method starts from the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) stages that help the company in improving quality and continuous improvement. Based on the results of research on baby clothes products, data in March 2018 the percentage of defective products produced reached 1.4% exceeding 1% tolerance limit, with a Sigma value of 4.14 meaning a possible defect product of 4033.39 opportunities per million products. In the pareto diagram there were 5 types of CTQ (Critical to Quality) such as oblique obras, blobor screen printing, there is a fabric / head cloth code on the final product, hollow fabric / thin fabric fiber, and dirty cloth. The factors caused quality problems such as Manpower, Materials, Environtment, and Machine. Suggestion for consideration of company improvement was continuous improvement on every existing quality problem like in Manpower factor namely improving comprehension, awareness of employees in producing quality product and improve employee's accuracy, Strength Quality Control and give break time. Materials by making the method of cutting the fabric head, the Machine by scheduling machine maintenance and the provision of needle containers at each employees desk sewing and better environtment by installing exhaust fan and renovating the production room.
